It's because Nintendo executives don't really understand the Western world.
Apparently Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of America are constantly at loggerheads with Nintendo of Japan over their various brain dead, ultimately self-defeating, schemes.
For starters I cannot imagine that having two product lines with minor differences can be economically viable, and secondly what's the point in pissing your customer base off? There is zero logic behind this decision.
