DSi VC has never been announced and will come out to excite sales. When they feel the need.
The reason Nintendo doesn't want emulation on the machine is obvious. They don't want people to disrupt their future objectives. Otherwise they wouldn't care since it would be money made anyways. Why would they say no to money. Simple they can make more money when they are ready.
The DSi is not built to cater to the DS market. It was built to further expand the market. This is the reason why the GBA slot was dumped. The people who wanted both have the DS/Lite. There are other reasons for buying the DSi. DSi ware, portable quick camera(non special occasions), music player... If these initial reasons weren't good enough to buy it then why did YOU(@OP) bother to buy it at all. Don't buy something on the hopes, but buy a product that meets your values. This is a case where the consumer willining made a purchase not on misinformation of the company, but by self decision. This is of course if you did buy a DSi. For me I NEVER use the GBA slot so someday soon I will get the DSi.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
