Yeah, there are only a few people living in Japan who post here on VGC, that I've noticed. I don't even post as much as I did last year. Though, I do try and check out the latest VGC numbers when I can.
Anyway, new hardware/colors usually results in at least a boost for whatever it is that comes out. For example, when the new PSP 3000 colors were released I bought a Red one for my gf as a present and took her old blue PSP 1000 for myself, since I didn't have a psp. If I were to buy a DSi, I would definitely wait until a color that I liked would be released and buy that. (Though I have a DS Lite already, so it would still be a while before I would think about getting one ;-p )
