Nintendo not stopping production of the DS Lite

“Our current plans are to continue manufacturing Nintendo DS Lite globally. The DS Lite has been a highly popular handheld console and has brought fun to an expanded audience of gamers – male and female; young and old – and sales remain strong. That said, it is true that our key focus in the UK for 2010 will be the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL.” – Nintendo statement

If I had to choose between purchasing a DSi or DS Lite, I’d go with the DSi (or XL). However, I can understand consumers who would rather purchase the Lite if they aren’t really interested in DSiWare or some of the other features available on the DSi.
