The system allegedly damaging itself just by being folded closed.

Many people still struggling from the recession.
Arrived too soon on the heels of the DSi which may have left some people feeling burned.
Some people may not like the fact that the 3DS wants to connect to other systems all the time. There are people who exist in the world who don't give a tinker's damn about online gaming. The 3DS being so internet-intensive would be a huge turn-off to those people. (I'm one such person)
The online gaming isn't a "have to" nor is 3DS connecting to other 3DS.
