I say 4G should've been the target, as I hear it's better than 3G. It's one more G, after all.

can't have to much G now can you...

I will laugh when all the early NGP adopters rage when a 4G version is released a year after release

That would really only be the case if 3G was a major feature of the system. SONY's already confirmed 2 sku's, the cheaper of which will be WiFi only. No 3G at all.

3G is just an extra for those that want it.

Nintendo could have made models like that. But it may confuse casual consumers which are now the biggest market for Nintendo games and consoles. Also who says that the 3G version would sell enough units to warrant its inclusion.

I heard 4G is just 2 2Gs duct taped together.

Real reason: they wanted to save a buck or two per unit on the 3g modem costs.

I personally won't want monthly fee tacked onto my console. I've got enough bills...
