Nintendo DSi confirmed for April 5 in North America

I think launching it now is necessary, the DS market will saturate sooner rather than later and Nintendo needs to extend it as long as possible. Its just very bad luck the exchange rate happens to suck so hard. I'm sure the big N would rather have launched at a $150 tag or lower but the exchange rate has killed that hope. I do wonder if it will be successful though at that price. To be honest, I see it flopping at this price.
