How is VG Chartz going to track the DSi sales...

Why would there be *any* DSi only games. The only unique features are the camera (a very small % of games) and then there's the down loadable games service has hasn't even been fleshed out yet.

I would think the DSi would be part of the DS sales base. It will still play 100% of all games out now and future and there will probably only ever be a tiny amount of games that are DSi only due to the camera.

If the original rumors were true that it had two touch screens I could easily concede but, even Nintendo has said this is simply a continuation of the DS. Not a new model like the GBA was to the GBC.

This is basically how I see things going, but I think it would be nice to be able to keep them seperate too, if only too see just how successful this new model is. It's true that teh DS and the DS lite are included together, but they also have the exact same features and can play pretty much all the same games. The DSi gets rid of the GBA slot and adds other features, so I'd really enjoy teh chance to compare teh sales of two similar, yet distinctly different systems by the same company to see how they actually perform.
