I think it's mostly intended to appeal to parents of kids who may want a 3DS.
1. The price knock from $170 to $130 is probably to compete with some of Apple's mobile products. Getting your kid a new 2DS would feel cheaper than getting them some versions of the iPod Touch, which can go for about $ 175-180.
2. Kids have smaller clothing. Even folded up, I'm not sure they can just tuck the 3DS into their pockets.
3. Compared to the DS and 3DS, the 2DS seems more unbreakable. With the right amount of pressure, the foldable models probably wouldn't be all that hard to snap in half.
4. This is a really weak point, but it'd be harder to lose a 2DS, given its size. |
Honestly if you really try your best to care for your game system, especially if your parents help you, a 3ds shouldnt break so easily. I wager a child without even trying but just being excited could easily drop the 2ds and it'll break.
