To do it yourself.

I can think of several reasons.
  • Price competition
  • Regulatory competition (for example, anything made in Brazil is likely to be far cheaper for people in Brazil to buy due to Brazil's import duty)
  • Feature competition
  • Ship date competition (ability to ship while competitor's product is out of stock)
Case in point: SuperCard DS One and CycloDS Evolution still sold, despite R4 producing a microSD adapter for DS first, because they offered different features and may have been in stock when a retailer was out of R4 cards.

To support neviksti and I would much rather use an SD card than compact flash.
