Nintendo 2DS?!

I feel like this idea is stupid to people who have a 3DS, and awesome to people to people who don't have a 3DS.

Eh, maybe. I think that even if I didn't have a 3DS, I wouldn't want a 2DS. :/

I just... don't get... why it doesn't... fold... *collapses in the sun*

Honestly, I'm fine with it not folding. I've used Gameboys a lot, and the screen hasn't cracked on any of mine.

While its portability may not matter to you, it is a major selling point for a handheld device to be reasonably sized. It is ignorant of them to create this device; but completely like them to release it and, a year later, release the 2DS Lite that will have the ability to fold. Anything to make money I suppose.

I don't think this has to do with money in the way you're talking about. :/ I think it's about people not wanting to buy a 3DS cos they're expensive and most don't use the 3D function, so Nintendo developed a way for people to still be able to buy 3DS games, but use a less-expensive console that they can entirely utilize. The 2DS is about getting people to be more likely to buy 3DS GAMES by offering a cheaper way to play them, along with making it more child friendly. Nintendo is trying to sell more games, not more consoles--they're trying to sell the 2DS to people instead of a 3DS, not trying to sell everyone both. :P

Then produce a 2DS that can fold. This is entirely about cashing in after a failed investment.

They'll probably state why they chose this design sometime in the future, calm down.

I am calm. I am making an assessment based on Nintendo's past business practice. They will release a second 2DS later down the line that can fold, tack on an extra 50 dollars, and market it as a must-have.
