DSi LL fist shipment in Japan 150k, first week sales 100k seems likely

[c0rd]

People are exaggerating the price. The device is much bigger, and only costs 1100 more yen (or ~$12).

The real price hike was the DSi. It is amazing how Nintendo has been able to keep prices up for so long (the DS is 5 years old already). I honestly don't feel like I'm ripped off by the price, though.
