Whats the fuss about this thingy called DSI? How does the new DSI make gaming better???

Camera, hello no. online, a little bit.

I dont see any major upgrade over DS Lite from a gaming point. People are just buying for the brand name, thats it.

 

failed to mention DSiWare and the huge upgrades in processing power and ram

all you ds haters always fail to mention the details that makes the dsi better .

what is it? you guys are afraid of giving nintendo some credit on actually making an upgrade that is more than just upgrading the asthetics?

or is it that you guys pick and choose the upgrades that lean more on the "casual side" to make nintendo sound like less of a threat??

 

So how will future games capitalise on the increase in processing power? Its a nice upgrade but I don't see any developer cutting off 80% of a console's potential sale by making game only compatible with DSI. I expect only when the majority of DS Lite are phased out for good would developer start making games that utilise the additional power, that could be years!

Perhaps this has more to do with additional software and gui? I can see room for improvement here, especailly new features to do with the camera etc, but as far as game is concern, I'm not holding my breath.
