I plan to buy the DSi XL. I already have a DS Lite and my wife has my old DS. I think quite a few of the people saying that the DSi XL is going to bomb are also the same people in a few months who will pick one up for themselves once they see it.
As for games, this past year was pretty bad. I bought less games this last year then I have any other year since Mario Kart DS was released. It's kinda sad. I was hoping for more games like GTA China Town Wars, Retro Game challenge etc to get released. Not that I didn't buy a lot of DS games this year... just not as many as I did the 2 prior years.
Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.
