The New Nintendo 2XL had reportedly sold over 36,000 units within its first week following its release which is not bad. Even the handheld game system is mainly for 2D titles it’s something that would definitely appeal to retro gamers while giving Nintendo fans something different.
However, there are still many people would probably prefer the Nintendo 3DS XL over the Nintendo 2DS XL. But there are games coming out like the New Super Mario bundle for the New Nintendo 2DS XL in August that many people would love to buy if the have a Nintendo 2DS.
