They haven't officially announced the "Tegra", so go for the DSi XL. Also, for those who are confused, he's reffering to the rumors about a new DS with an Nvidia Tegra chipset.

remember those rumors about nintendo signing a contract with NVidia to use their Tegra chip on a possible new DS platform? apparently some rumor-lovers already gave it a name...

[QUOTE="forgot_it"]I would probably wait to see if Nintendo has gone Apple on us and started releasing the same thing with no worthwhile reason to upgrade.Phoenix534
Oh wait.
Lol, can't stand it when companies do this...in the end they end up losing my business >_>.
Well, from what I've read, there isn't much of a difference besides the chip, a larger screen, and a thinner device.

The chip's fairly powerful, it would be able to take any game on the market now and display it on the smaller screen.
The true question is, how much memory will the diskettes hold? Will companies be able to compress their games into it or will things have to be cut?
MPEG 4 made a lot of what's on the DS possible, with HVC on the way a lot of the audio cuts may be avoidable. This new standard is what I believe is holding up the new handheld's arrival (it's only behind a year), which is likely why we saw all those leaks of the two-laser storage systems Nintendo invested in during the meantime.
Please do not take rumors of Nintendo and NVidia as confirmed fact. There is no confirmation that Nintendo and NVidia have ever signed a contract regarding the use of the latter's TEGRA chips for Nintendo's successor of the DS family.
