I've been looking through this and I think a lot of people are either trolling or just don't understand what the 2ds is.
Nintendo flat out said this was aimed at the 4-6 age group.
1) The 3d effect is a big concern for parents, this is why they took it out. They didn't take it out because they realized the 3d was pointless, stop trying to think that's the case.
2) The lack of hinges means that you wont have your 4 year old folding the 2ds in the wrong direction and accidentally breaking it, this happens a lot more than you realize, and by not having a 2ds with hinges, this completely fixes that issue.
3) It's cheaper
All in all, this was a genius idea from Nintendo.
Something...Something...Games...Something
