Can you even give one logical benefit that two displays give over just having one display? Maybe Nintendo is so much smarter than Apple and Google or something? That line of thinking is probably what's led them to three straight years of losses ... oddball decisions for the sake of backwards compaibility and just wanting to be different "because Nintendo". 

It wouldn't help a cross platform set up at all ... the handheld version has two screens, and the home console has 1 screen ... that's not promoting unity at all, it's another headache for developers who are already Nintendo's bullsh*t (lets be honest) to have to figure out. 

1 reason:

For some games, you don't want to hide the action with your hands. It's more adequate to use a separate display for the touch action.

Also, keep in mind the stylus has certain advantages that no iOS device makes use of, and only a rare exception of Android devices do (Samsung Galaxy Note).


Multitouch can use stylus just fine like the Galaxy Note that you mentioned. Most tablet makers don't include a stylus because most consumers don't want one. There's no technical issue to it.
