The DSi is launching in Japan for $20 more than the DS Lite.

The DS Lite launched at ¥16,800, which translates at present to $170.57 USD.

The DSi is going to launch at ¥18,900, translating at present to $191.86 USD.

Additionally, people paid as much as ¥40,000 for the DS Lite when it launched (over $400 USD).

In light of all this, I highly doubt price will be a concern. The questions are (1) is the market too saturated already, and (2) will people see the DSi as being worth buying another DS?

I believe (1) the market is pretty heavily saturated, but only about 1/6 of Japan's total population currently owns a DS, so there's still an enormous amount of people still available, and (2) I'm going to be buying a DSi even though I already own three DS Lites between my wife and me. And I'm a western gamer, in a culture that sees the DS mostly as meant for kids. Japan doesn't look at it that way.

Thus said, I wholeheartedly believe almost every single one of you is underestimating the DSi's potential. I don't necessarily believe these predictions are all wrong, but I believe they very possibly could be.

A hefty sum. Exactly.

Please remake without the profanity in the title, a single asterisk is not sufficient here.
