Even Wired thinks Sony's PR Spin on DSi is "crazy talk"

I'm definitely not saying it will see a sustained boost. I'm saying that it will have a big impact early on, and then taper in sales and I predict that dslite will outsell it during its entire first year and maybe even longer. (although it will be hard to track because I bet we will track the dsi as "ds")

I said it was a "major upgrade"?
I know you're trying to push my words as a contradiction, but unfortunately its just reality. DSI is not that different from DS, is not that much of an improvement, but yet, Nintendo wants to start using the dsi as the lead platform soon.
A minor upgrade is dsfat to dslite. This is a new console.
....just as much as ps3 is a successor to ps2, even though the only improvement is graphics and online and some abilities.

The difference is this. PS2 to PS3 was a huge upgrade to all those aspects, whereas this "upgrade" is questionable as to how much of a difference it will actually make.

You have already said it is not a minor upgrade. "It will have exclusive games, different features and more". Thats a major upgrade.

The majority of games that release will be compatible with all DS skus. That's the difference between your PS2 to PS3 analogy and this. No games are released to be compatible with both PS2 and PS3. The architecture is completely different unlike the difference between the DS skus.

Like it or not this is just an upgraded DS system. Like Kenology said - you'll have a fat chance of convincing people this is a new console and it seems like VGChartz agrees as DSi sales are included in total DS sales.
