don't know if you are serious or not, but i'll leave it as it is

I am more than sure nintendo will be following in sony's footsteps with the go. These remarks almost prove it, they are interested. Look at holiday 2010 or 2011 for a new DS or maybe even a new handheld

LOL, you think his serious XD

but ur right i really want to know who the DSi aimed for?

Umm, DSi is aimed at, like, everyone. Like duh.

Good point. My guess is everyone?

I think what Reggie is really getting at is that he doesn't understand the need to put such heavy emphasis on a niche side product, because that isn't what Nintendo does. Nintendo would obviously not have created a DS that was largely more alienating than the last. So his comments are in the bigger scope of things. He doesn't understand the large market this is for. I'm sure he understands there is a subsect of the PSP market that wants this just because they want every PSP upgrade.

Regarding who the DSi is aimed for, it beats me. I honestly didn't see the big deal myself when it was announced, and still don't see the appeal in it other than a few small DL titles and Flip Note Studio, but obviously Nintendo knows something I don't. There is a large market for those two little camera attachments. Maybe people remember the epicness of the Gameboy Camera and want to relive it. Maybe it's just Nintendo's plan to ease the expanded market into a more integrated media/game player at a slow pace. They give them little by little to coax them along and allow them to get into this market alongside Nintendo by not bombarding them with an overloaded machine. It fits into the same mentality as the upstreaming/downstreaming of games idea.

It's aimed at a similar market in some ways to what Nintendo tried to target with Gameboy Micro. I don't think PSP Go will fail as hard but it does raise some interesting points for discussion.

Some regular high life and gilded youth stereotypes, those things are relevant when promoting to under 20 wannabes.

Regarding DSi, I guess people are underestimating potential of supercheap downloadable games (look at iPhone, though I bet DSiWare won't overcome it by total games available and really cheap prices... it's a dedicated gaming device after all and prices are fixed, so no price wars). Moreover if I got it right from japanese DSi commercials, those seemingly media features (photos, sound editor) are to be used in games\entertainment software a-la purikura (kids and teen girls love it) and various edutainment (mostly for foreign language practice) - those're pretty big markets.
