It would be interesting how DSi sales will be like in the coming weeks since the DSi LL has been announced by Nintendo. I did not expect that Nintendo will announce the DSi LL today, but with the holiday season coming soon, it makes sense. The screen size is larger, but I did not expect a heavier model and a higher price (20,000 yen which is about US$220.37), much more than the Wii. However, the dollar is weakening against the yen which explains the high price.

For some reason I really like this idea, Dsi for the young-uns and Dsi-LL for grandad and grandma, Nintendo now there stuff, It’l actually e surprising to see how many gamers buy this thinking its a new model though, lovl

I’m now totally mad at Nintendo releasing this new model so soon! How would you FEEL if you just purchased DSi with hard earned money and this came out of no where and SO SOON?! My goodness Nintendo! Are you out of your freakin’ mind? So what’s next? SUPER XL within the same year? My NEW DSi is now what? an OLD model! I hope no one buys this thing! I hope this flops! I hope everyone sticks & be contented to what DS model they have… I find this model unnecessary & this strategy pointless…
