the lack of Tetris.

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

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.
