(Like motion controls but unlike motion controls it doesn't sell as many systems.)
Plus it's used in Nintendo Video, various 3D websites accessible via the browser, and hopefully 3D movie rentals/Netflix in the future. ( Wii doesn't do HD on netflix yet iit didn't hold it back. Same will be 3D on the Non 3D DS)
People went apeshit when they saw the glasses free 3D in the palm of their hands at E3 last year. There's a push for 3D in smartphones, as we speak. 3D is here to stay. It's an asset for the 3DS, not a liability. And even for the select few that have a problem with it, they can just turn it off (and what I think will become standard, MGS3 will actually turn the 3D off automatically whenever a player uses the gyroscope to control something.). I joked about a 2D 3DS a while back but I don't think that, even in these crazy Nintendo times, it will become a reality.

The people at E3 isn't a good indicator of the market for many good reasons. The reasons you gave doesn't convince me that taking out 3D is taking sales away. And with the bold in the last paragraph just tells me that Nintendo should have a 3DS with no 3D. Its not exactly for everyone is it?
