Was 3D a bad decision for the 3DS?

No.

The price, no 1st party games at launch, lack of dual analog setup, small battery.... those were the bad decisions.

Price and battery life are direct consequences of 3D, so your answer should be "yes".

3D was mostly software and the hardware could of stayed the same.

Battery is smaller than most smartphones.

Yes, a bigger battery would have increased the price, but removing 3D would have been a very small impact.

They could have done my changes and launched at $199 with quality software and it would have been 100% different.
