the lack of Tetris.

Columns was... also a game where things fell vertically...

Columns

Hilariously, that style of game is also more popular than Tetris clones now.

Columns was not an interesting or addictive as Tetris. It also didn't come with the console.

Tetris and the Gameboy being sold together was a massive boon to both of them.

Yeah. To be clear, I was (also) pointing out how underwhelming Columns was. It was fun, but it's a long way from being Tetris.

Good point about Tetris bring an included game - that had to help, too.
