A large number of people dont care about the 3d effect. I have had one since launch and rarely turn it on. Definitely a market for that especially cheaper.

the thing that stands out to me the most is that because they got rid of the clamshell the buttons are actually moved up next to the upper screen as opposed to the lower screen.

It also seems like a step before the Wii U tablet(or something very similar) essentially becomes a standalone portable system....
