They need to be careful with the price of DSi. A high price can screw over a brand no matter how big it is.

Hrmm adding new techie features not related to gaming, upping the costs... sounds like PS3 :).

I think this is an interesting point(s): would it have made more sense for Nintendo to have refreshed the hardware with newer screens and nixed all the other, ancillary, features (saving them for a DS2, instead)? Hindsight being 20/20 (in light of the economic downturn/strength of the yen), perhaps they would have.
