I thought the point of it was that it was more durable. The most common break was folding the screen the wrong way and snapping it in half. Is the pic above even a 2DS?
EDIT: That’s a 2DS XL. Looks like it would have all the problems of a 3DS.
Yes, that’s a NEW Nintendo 2ds xl. The new is very important since there are (very few) games that only run on new with more power and ram.
So the issue with these is that the top is so flimsy that if you close it and put the plastic under stress it will break the screen. If it’s open and you stress the screen from the front, it’s okay.
So what happens is that people toss it on the couch closed and sit on it (note comfy couch) and upon opening see the broken screen.
Ive seen this happen first hand a few times. This does not happen with any 3ds or the regular (ugly but very sturdy) 2ds.
