Daring Fireball responds to Garrett Murray’s thoughts on the 2DS:
The biggest WTF aspect is the price — it’s only $40 cheaper than the regular 3DS.
Yeah, WTF? No other company would create very obvious upsell positioning for its products!
A pity Daring Fireball and various others seem to have decided balance is a bad thing regarding Nintendo, given Lukas Mathis’s Nintendo piece continuing to grow with more insight and facts. If you missed it, I also chimed in yesterday on why Nintendo should not start making iOS games—yet.
Update: For anyone arguing that the gap is bigger—the iPod touch upsell is $70, not $40—do bear in mind the iPod touch costs almost twice as much as Nintendo’s console.
