| Jumpin said: There is a 2DS available, it is called the DSi, it is a last generation handheld now. I don't think there will be much of a market for a 2D only version of the 3DS system, probably next to nothing; the graphical quality of the games benefits a huge amount from the 3D, and they look fairly bland and lifeless in 2D. The pricing likely won't go down a lot either, as the games are developed to meet certain hardware characteristics, which includes the 800x240 screen, the processor, RAM, etc... Not to mention the development costs - the tech is cheap to reproduce, but the dev costs were probably fairly pricey. Not to mention, creating a non-3D 3DS would be the same as creating a non-HD PS3, it just was never going to happen due to similar reasons to the ones I listed above. |
No, just because you think 3D adds much does not mean the entire market for taking out the 3D is small.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
