http://kotaku.com/5321955/dev-dsi-is-a-more-powerful-platform-than-ds-lite'This is something we've really been thinking about and working on,' he said. 'What's interesting about the DSi is [that] it's a much more capable system than the DS and DSLite than some may think.' He was suggesting that the machine has more horsepower, something I've heard from other DS developers as well but did not have a chance to follow-up on in this interview.so, i think we've all known this since the DSi's specs were revealed to be better than the Lite's and that it wasn't just for the camera, and other features.I can't believe Kotaku doesn't already know the DSi has a CPU thats twice the speed of the DS, and four times the RAM, more importantly how is the DSi's video memory?I really think its just a matter of time until we see these DSi only games at stores, which i predict won't come out until 2010, that we will see a difference. As i'd take this as confirmation, from a developer, that the DSi is indeed, as many of us had known before, more powerfulthe question is, when does nintendo make it into a new console (it will have new games at stores). do they wait until 10 million units sold? 20 million? (it is already at 5 million and looks to be a 10-12 million at least by end of xmas)thoughts?
