Forums - Gaming - DSi is pure genius move by Nintendo

DS combined Lite and DS have sold over 100 million portables in total. April 2 2009, Nintendo launch the Nintendo DSi. Two cameras inbuilt into the DSi, DS gets a redesign, DSi games are on the way and it is compatible with all DS/Lite games.

Now what the hell is Sony going to do now with PSP, to counter this genius move by Nintendo?

^ two 0.3 cameras and a AAC player were the hardware updates.

then a software store.. which also PSP got in a update acces to the psn store.

they will probably redesign (maybe a slider) too make it slimmer, nicer looking and improve the battery.



Are there really DSi only games?

 

Edit: besides DS store downloads



no its not compatible with all ds/lite geames it cant play guitar hero
think before you post



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!

bet with *no one yet* that the combined first week of Monster Hunter 3 in america and europe will be 600k or more! winner changes looser sig and avatar for two months!

Sadly the DSi can't play GBA cartridges. Apart from that the added features are really fun.

@ Jo21: No it also got double the processing power, SD card support, on board memory and larger, brighter screens, and it's now slimmer too.

I think the features that the console has, the fact you can play with the music and photos that you take is very DS centric and that's the genius part of it. Nintendo will do very well with the DSi as DSi enhanced and DSi only games come out and really take advantage of the hardware.

Sony need a refresh and they need to focus on the interactivity aspect of the console, just like what Nintendo has done - play with your music, play with your photos. Not just tact on features..

Refund me for that cursed thing i bought near launch.



I love my DS, but the DSi is a "meh"

Two cameras and an AAC player is lame. I'd like to see if the better CPU leads to better looking games first.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
