An update of the Xbox One series of desktop game consoles, released taking into account the fact that in 2016 (it was then that this model saw the light of day) some of the features of the original should have been improved. Changes are already noticeable in appearance: the case has become smaller and can be installed vertically.

A portable game console, in fact, a modification of the advanced 3DS model, created with the expectation of simplification and corresponding reduction in price. The simplification affected primarily 3D capabilities — none of the 2DS screens are capable of reproducing 3D (although the camera for creating three-dimensional images has not disappeared). Another difference is the clumsy body. The rest of the characteristics of the device have not changed much: two displays with the same dimensions (3.53 "and 3.02"), a Wi-Fi module, an accelerometer with a gyroscope, flash-based memory (2 GB) plus a card slot. The package includes a stylus and a 4 GB card.

Features such as 3D shooting using the rear camera and tracking the user's eyes from the front have been preserved. But the built-in memory has decreased to 1 GB. The console is compatible with older games for the DS family.

Having replaced the original Wii, this model not only continued the traditions of the series, but also introduced several new original solutions. So, the design of the controller actually blurs the line between desktop and portable consoles: it is actually a separate portable console with a microphone, camera and its own 6.2" touch screen, where, if necessary, you can switch the gameplay from an external screen. At the same time the console is compatible with the games and all the accessories of its predecessor.
