Sure, but that was done in response to something that wasn't well-received by the market. |
That was not really the reason. They just wanted to create something with a lower barrier-of-entry. Case and point the vast majority of sales before and after 2DS came from (New) 3DS XL. The 2DS is essentially the Mac Mini/Macbook Air (in relation to iMac/Macbook [Pro] respectively) and iPhone SE (in relation to flagship iPhones) of the 3DS line. More specifically, it is a cheaper product that does not sell as well as its higher end counter parts, but its reduced price attracts an audience that was previously on-edge due to the high price of the other products in product family.
