I'm going to guess "no".

I don't think so, they didn't separate in japan.

No, for the same reasons that the GB and GBC are counted together. They are the same machine with added features.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

yeah i think they should be counted together because as said above ^ they are the same machine with added features...if they separated the DSi from the DS they would have to separate all the different versions of the 360 and PS3 (and all the previous consoles that got added to)

no would be my guess, because that's like saying the PS2 and PS2 slim should be counted separately

The only differences between the PS2 and PS2 Slim are aesthetic while the DS and DSi have some pretty major differences so comparing the two don't make sense.

don't a few games for the PS2 require a harddrive or something, and it is only supported on the non-slim moddel. (I really don't have a clue as I only had a few games)

Anyways, the best two comparisons are the GB/GBC, and the PSP/PSP2000/PSP3000/...

Ah, forgot about FFXI, but that really isn't the fault of Sony I don't think.

I've heard the argument (elsewhere on the site) that because the DSi has exclusive games, it should be counted as a seperate system. There were a number of GBC exclusive games (I myself have about 8, compared with 12 or so GB games) and it was counted as part of the 120million GameBoy total. It was primarily the same hardware as the GB, with colour added. DSi is the same hardware as DSLite/DS but with flash memory, 2 cameras and no GBA slot.
In context, this isn't a vast step up over the capabilities of the DSLite, and the vast majority of releases will continue to be playable on all DS systems. The difference in DSi and DSLite/DS lies in the potential of future software, and not in any significant hardware step up. It will be counted as the third model of the DS family, and not just by VGChartz. Apologies for the longwinded post.
