Maybe it's not so bad After the surprise announcement yesterday, I wrote a post about the 2DS and I basically said it was a waste of time. But after having some time to think about it. I can see its merits. Price - I think that the fact that the console doesn't include 3D obviously makes it cheaper to produce and that means it can have a cheaper retail price than the 3DS.  The Target Audience - It's not meant for me.

The only word I could think of when I found out. What do you think of the announcement of the 2DS? Will you be buying one?
