Announced at the end of August, the Nintendo 2DS is the latest redesign of the company's flagship handheld - the 3DS.
Intended as an entry-level console, the 2DS drops the 3D functionality of the 3DS (which isn't suitable for young children, as it might damage their developing eyes.) It also no longer has any ability to fold closed like a clamshell, making for a quite different look to any recent Nintendo handheld.

Black Ops still holding off Red Dead, interesting. Crazy to think that Mario Party almost sold as much as Red Dead did.
Nintendo hardware up.. Playstation hardware down..
Software numbers definitely seem low this week overall.
Red Dead didn't do that great in Japan and the Switch went up in sales. Probably from people getting excited over Pokemon Let's Go. Dragon Ball Fighterz is still hanging in there. Good for it.

13/20 are Switch titles, 16/20 are on Nintendo hardware. Japan really loves the Switch right now.
So if the left hand joystick and buttons are now not in line with the touch screen won't it make some games harder to control? ie FPS
