Unless Nintendo starts releasing major DS games that not only utilize, but require the camera, I really don't see how anyone will be "forced" to repurchase.

Which is good, as I imagine there are a lot of Guitar Heroes who won't want to let go of theirs.

i believe there going for the multimedia crowd to steal sales from the PSP

Ill be upgrading. The DS lite wasnt enough to upgrade from my Phat, but this one is.

I may upgrade also. Larger screens is a great addition.

If I wanted to see trivial articles about a group of elitists that think they count as "gamers" then I'd go to N4G. I'd love it if you posted positive PS3 articles than constantly keeping the supply of this kind of subjective monotone rich in quantity on this forum.

Sony Fan - "Hmm, decisions.. I think I'll go into the Wii room today."
Wii fans - "Wow so many cool games this week!"
Sony Fan - "Hey guys apparently the new DSi sucks according to gamers!"
Wii fans - "Ok.."
(2 minutes later)
Sony Fan - "I just found this tid-bit of spin about Reggie saying that the hardcore want too much!"

I could go into the Sony section and post about how Blu-Ray is struggling or the durability issue with Blu-Ray readers, or the lack of RPGS on a 2 year old console, how about the lack of exclusives or even better yet the crummy web browser that's comfy to use but very slow and no flash player 8... the list goes on and on and on, let others enjoy their system of choice; please.

The concept behind this is like seeing a 5-year-old play with his kid sister and you watching decide to show the kid to porn. You’re not the one in the porn so you can claim that you’re outside of the material but it's still not needed.

Considering most of these journalists that you’re quoting believe that you and others outside have there little group are nothing but mouth feeders and shouldn’t have the same privileges they have as far as gaming information goes expressing their negativity for free should be the last thing on your mind. (I’m even wondering why you just posted in October and article from June/July as if it’s news.)

I see a two sku system for a couple of years. Then the DSLite will be phased out.

I don't see the big deal everyone is making about the DSi. It's just a new version of the DS, a remodel, not a new handheld altogether. It will have some new features as everyone knows so it seems to be aimed at new purchasers and maybe those who want the new features. It doesn't seem to be in anyway to be a replacement.

I still have the ds phat.

I think DSi will revatilize DS sales in Japan, but flop in the U.S.

Okay, the "Nintendo expects DS and DSi to coexist in the US" part of the title makes sense. That's the actual title of the linked article! Of course, that's appropriate. But where did the ", gamers unimpressed" portion of the title come from?
