What intrigues me the most is this part
>(...) these consoles come with Pokémon X or Pokémon Y pre-installed within it (...)
I haven't really looked into the 3DS' hardware and software at all, so maybe I'm just uninformed, but what kind of pre-installation should we be expecting, here? Console integrated? A digital download pre-saved on the SD card, along with a key for future downloads in case you blank it out? What else could it be?
