No GBA games= FAIL in my eyes.

Brings it right into line with the iTouch/IPhone IMO. Its the potential "DS app store" + DS channels that is the real advancement. Camera is nice as well - especially if they launch some form of "friends list" and video conferencing software.

PSP isn't too far either - but while its missing a touch screen, IMO its not in the same league.

 

 The psp is still far ahead of the DS in features. Everything the DS got that was new, the psp already has.

So I dont know what you mean on this "Not in the same league" phrase.

DSi is a much bigger upgrade over previous versions. And it has the most important feature of all: best software lineup.

Perhaps shams was comparing the PSP to the iPhone in terms of extra (non-gaming) functionality.

The DSi DS has what the PSP and iPhone don't, a huge software library attractive to the masses.

That's a more correct term. 

The DS has the best, and biggest portable software library that is attractive to the masses.  It constantly outsells the PSP on a weekly basis, and Apple has about 75 million or so iPhone 3Gs to sell to even be in the same territory.

I just don't see the point in this.  Raising the price is never extremely effective.

The DS Lite would argue differently, sir.

That seems like the most likely scenario.

I find some people's reactions to the new DS a little hypocritical, given how much the PSP and PS3 seem to get flamed for integrating features other than gaming.


The PSP and PS3 get flamed because they are Sony systems, there doesn't have to be any logic involved.

Neither of the upgrades makes me wanna buy a handheld.I couldnt care less about another camera device, Nintendo.. i already got my digital cam, cellphone for that. Honestly the least nintendo could have done is upped that horrific archaic processor speed so that 15% bigger screen can display 15% improved graphics. Now all i just see are magnified low res sprites n pixels... yaay...

why do i get the feeling that nintendo is gonna sit on its big fat successful ass and go the sega way eventually.. i.e. be too full of itself to make anything quality anymore.



Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

d. SEGA back in the console business
