Vita has a new competitor?.. the 2DS

[vitalovesnintendo]

Hmm curious how much of a market share this device will have in a year.
Nintendo officially announced a cheaper model of the 3DS: the 2DS
Similair to the 3DS but without the ability to play cames in 3D
Personally I don't think the 2DS and the Vita speak to the same audience.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAAHAAHAH, infinite LOL.

Seriouslyyyyyyy, is so awful. Nobody is gonna carry that on their pockets XDDD, also you can do the same thing with a super smaller 3DS, just turning off the 3D mode.
My God, I only hope the sellings of that "abomination" don't catch up with the Vita's LOOOL!

If it's really going to look like that then I don't think it will have big success, maybe because it's just big as (insert something here)

Yes but turning of the 3d on 3DS doesn't make the system cheaper.

The 2DS to the 3DS is like the PSP Street is to the regular PSPs. Honestly though, if you consider this a competitor, the Vita must have broken the bottom of the barrel.

Not even close to a competitor to the vita. This "2DS" was meant for children under the age of 7.

The 3D was/is a problem with the 3DS, the ppl that do have it have the 3D slider down majority of the time. You have to be in the sweet spot to even see the 3D effects without the graphics echoing on you as you try to play. It hurts your eyes if you play with it on for a long period of time. And lets not forget the PsVita is doing HORRIBLE. THIS, if Sony doesn't start promoting the PsVita and ensure it as relevant/less risk for developers, will STILL end up with more of an install base than PsVita.

Sadly, PsVita isn't a competition to anything at this point and I think it's still being out beat by it's older brother, PsP. I love my PsVita and I play (mostly PsP and indie games, unfortunately) and take it everywhere I go but lets be real here.... its hurting BAD.

Average age of gamers is 34 and since the 3DS is a stellar success, with an install base that COMPLETELY over shadows PsVita's multiple times..... do the math. Comments like this still make me laugh. It's good to have brand loyalty but its another thing all together to just be blinded and ignorant by fandom.

His comment actually makes sense, it doesn't seem to be portable enough anymore, it looks like it will have much more durability that 3DS, it's cheaper, I see no reason why if I had to make a choise I wouldn't buy it
