Because they deserved?
Simply, we are a smaller market. They must be well on track to have enough units for Japan, but didn't have enough time to make enough units for Europe and the US for this holiday, but still wanted to make some more money for the holidays and must have decided they had enough time to make enough for the Australian market. Which I love, we usually get screwed over by gaming companies.
sales of the 3ds are going to suffer until they clarify if this is a replacement system or not.
