And don't want to do it myself.

I thought critial level parts like the ones they were ordering were not allowed to be purchased from China to begin with?

The 3DS had almost no good launch titles and still suffers from a lack of first party nintendo games, no one wants to buy a console that doesn't have a decent game library. Additionally most people are probably waiting for the inevitable 3DS light or 3DSi upgrade version coming in another year or two that promises improved and additional features at the same price as the original 3DS.

When they just announced they're not releasing Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower in North America. And those are just the latest games we're missing out on, what about Pikmin 2, Fatal Frame and other titles missing from the wii lineup.

A recent slashdot posting talked about how China had some of the best programmers in the world, you'd think they would be able to program something better than cybersitter let alone just copy some code.

I whole heartedly agree, imagine a forum where there was no such thing as capslock, it would be beautiful.

Remember those viruses that would hold your hard drive hostage unless you paid a fee online. Microsoft got in on the ground level.
