The 2DS launched in October 2013 for $130 and by January, Nintendo had sold 2.1 million units. The sales came despite the fact that its announcement in August 2013 was widely received with amused bewilderment, to say the least. As it turns out, the 2DS is a handy little system for players who don't care for 3D gaming, and now it's a tad more affordable.

Ah, the sweet scent of video game price cuts. Prepare yourselves -- the holidays are coming.
