  5 probably seems the most useful for me. With spotpass and street pass features mostly just stuff which should of been included or not of use to me (so havn't seen anyone with a 3DS besides me).

  I'm more shocked I've never seen anyone with a 3DS, I was in Sydney in a yuppie suburb and the kids had lites or I's.

  I seem to pick them up from everywhere although I do travel a lot.

  I guess it depends on where you go.
