And for all the talk about the "technology" of the 3DS, it still boils down to one key component: the Sharp parallax barrier display, which is estimated to be a $20-30 part.
With the production yield of the 3DS, it won't stay that high as it will end up being the most produced 3D display to date. Later in production, the additional cost to manufacture will be practically negligible.
So knocking $25 off the price of a 3DS for a 2DS is not going to be a great value that general consumers flock to.
