There's also the 2DS, and the 2DS XL. Oh, and the New Nintendo 3DS XL.

They all play the same games though, so yeah, good luck explaining which is which to a casual buyer. The very 2DS name sounds like it should be a weaker system than the 3DS, despite coming out later and being mostly the same bar the stereostopic 3D visuals.

Names certainly haven't been their strong suit.

Some games actually only run on the New 3ds and New 2DS XL, most notably Xenoblade Chronicles 3D.

DS was a dumb name. 3DS was clever. 2DS was bad but I don't know what they should've called the "3DS that isn't 3D" otherwise (3D-isn't?). After that they should've just stopped, I cannot fathom why they did the New whateverDS stuff when the naming was already getting out of hand.
