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.

Okay, a reason that doesn't try to pretend 3D is infallible. The cost isn't as high as I thought it was, therefore any money saving down the line wouldn't help. It doesn't preclude a bubble busting, but it does show it's not the best solution for that.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
