3DS XL, Vita and Tablets arent very pocketable either and nobody seems to complain about them. Surveys have shown adults who play handheld gaming play at home the vast majority of the time and kids dont need to put it in there pockets, they play it while on car rides or walking thru stores with parents or at home or friends house. The battery life is essentualy the same. And its not larger, it just doesnt fold. I have pretty big hands and cant comfortably reach the touch screen on 3DS or XL without holding it in one hand and using the other exclusively for the touch screen, so nothing really changed. That just leaves the speaker as ur argument why its horrible.

Think of it this way. Nintendo themselves thinks it's a bad sku. If they thought it was on par to the other ones, they would not be selling it for $40/$70 less.

?? So taking the 3D capability had nothing to do with change in cost?? I find your logic baffling.

Do you not understand Nintendo likes money? Just because a product is cheaper to make, that doesn't mean the product is sold for cheaper. If Nintendo thought enough people would pay $150 for the 2DS, they would charge $150 for the 2DS.
Of course there are many other things that influence the price, but perceived value is the major one. |
the thing is US doesn't buy enough 3DS's (even though its doing good) $130 is an attractive price point especially during Christmas, As Parents see it and notice the price they can buy 2 of them for their kds + pokemon which = $340+Tax then a regular 3DS which they need to worry about for safety hazards(3D) or breaking it (clamshell design) and pay $420+ Tax!!!
Nintendo is doing this for low budgets that want pokemon, or somebody with just 2 or 3 games... Also most importantly Kids!!!
