I wonder why game companies keep releasing products that no one wants.
People were fine with GBA SP, yet Nintendo released GBA Micro.
People had their PS3 slim, yet Sony released PS3 ultra slim.
There was no need, yet Nintendo released Wii Mini.
Everybody loved PSP 3000, Sony released the PSP Go, and later released another unnecessary model, PSP Street.
Nintendo could have released a second model for 3DS and/or 3DS XL and it would be perfectly reasonable,
I would buy a 3DS XL lite or 3DSi XL, but 2DS seem like the new GBA Micro, but in a worse scenario.
I'm not gonna buy it, no one I know is willing to buy it, even if it's for their children.
People are just gonna avoid it, like most of the products I mentioned.
