What's the problem?

I know this handheld is going to sell millions and when Nintendo profits goes through the roof. Vita's price cut will mean nothing now.

Just cause a few can manage an exception doesnt mean the rule isnt true. The touchscreen controls are helpful but very unprecise and unresponsive.

I think we get less free roaming 3D titles exactly because theres no second analog nub in the system.

To me this looks like an experiment.

I can see the suits at Nintendo:

"Hey. Lets make the ugliest piece of shit handheld ever conceived. Something that makes the monstrosity that is Nvidia Shield look like the sleekest piece of portable hardware ever. Lets do that and see if we can outsell Nvidia's offering. Just for shits and giggles.

cuz $130 is a f***ing steal? It looks ugly but dont let looks decieve you, its going to blow up!

wats the problem? its not targeted for you. Its optional. Its like your favorite car company having a sports car, then they make a mini van for families. Does that sound terrible to you? Cuz it doesn't fit your preference? of course not.

Im convinced DS will be discontinued when this fiscal year is over, there is no point in it now that there is a $129 model for 3DS. Same goes for Wii, Nintendo doesnt want these systems stealing sales from there new products.

The Vita does get more than the 3DS. Gravity Rush, Assassins creed, Soul sacrifice, Ragnarok odyssey, Persona 4 golden in dungeons, Shinobido 2, Dynasty warriors next, etc.

I'm sure theres demand because Assassins creed sold above 600k.

I think the 2DS is significant though in that it forshadows the next Nintendo handheld, which IMO will be a tablet like form factor with the ability to play 3DS games and even have Wii U ports unified on one console with an HD resolution (single) display. Possibly with the ability to wirelessly beam a video signal to the television. Hence the recent unification of Nintendo's handheld and console dev teams.
