the GB line was successful because it was the only option. period. the game gear was way too expensive, heavy, and sucked batteries like a drunken prom date. GBC and GBA werent introduced until way after the demise of the GG, so it wasnt backwards compatability that sold all those GBAs and GBCs.
you can only sell what you keep in stock. if your store doesnt keep any generics on hand, its relatively difficult to sell them, isnt it?
even at bestbuy, which, btw has some of the highest cartridge prices around, you only see one or two of the customers a day shy away because of higher prices. Complain? yes, but they still buy.
when the ink runs off the paper (espeically photo paper), or clogs your print heads *cough*epson*cough*, or has to be replaced every 20 pages, people wont use generics. i learned my lesson with my 740.
the margin on branded cartridges is higher for both the manufacturer and for the store, so i doubt generics will have much of a chance of making it into a large store, with the exception of bestbuy which sells basix ink (which is a bestbuy brand, and sucks immense donkeynards).

only if generic cartridge manufacurers decide to stop putting the shittiest ink ever in their cartridges.
