I am constantly going on game sites to read up on all the news and I am constantly seeing posts and articles about people being so mad that nintendo is releasing the dsi xl. Come on people they are not forcing you to buy it. If you don't want it don't buy it. Like they said the 3ds will be out in about a year or so, so just wait. Nintendo knows exactly what they are doing they are one of the longest running video game companies around. I think it is great that they are constantly upgrading and introducing new products to us consumers. They give you so many choices on what you want to buy.

I am very much looking forward to the bigger screens and overall bigger body on the dsi xl.

It was the same when the DSi was released. People get mad when they can't have the latest thing.

This. It's pretty much that people are annoyed that something newer and/or better is released within a short time span of when they bought their console/portable (or whatever it may be) and feel that the company screwed them over. I can understand why some people might get mad, but in the end it's like you said, they're not forcing you to buy it so there's really no need to get all upset.

I haven't seen any "hate" towards the DSi XL.

But it would be silly to ignore the rightful frustration that many people share when they buy a DS and then soon after the DS light comes out...then they go out of their way to keep up with the latest incarnation by purchasing the DSi...but then just a few weeks later the DSi XL comes out...not only that but Nintendo has already announced their next handheld console.

That's a lot of money being spent just to keep up.

Yes is true. I read a lot of bad comments about the DSi XL and many people bashing it without not even see it. I'm an older gamer and I'm going to get it but many of my neighbors kids and teens are going to get it too, is a question of taste. If you want it buy it, but it you don't want it, don't put the people who are going to get it down. I remember the first video game I played when I was young, Coleco Vision I was10. Not matter how older I'm I still playing video games because is something I really like to do. I can't devote a lot of time to it, but I play one or two hours daily, specially before bedtime.

I dont see why there needs to be hate for it. If it wasnt for the 3DS and the price I would pick up a DSI XL launch day. For me, its not hating more than it is "meh"

Same here. It's human nature that people want the newest and best of what's on the market.

You guys made some really good points here, there seems to be alot of people hating on the XL, I myself had just bought one and cant say anything negative about it. There are a couple of reasons why I bought one, one being I always wanted bigger screens and bame I got them, also because I can buy one. Yes I said I can, it seems most people are mad because they do not have the latest and greatest and could not afford one so they bash others who can. To each there own, the DSI XL ROCKS!! I am playing Pokemon Heart Gold on it right now and man I love the screens, expescially on Spirit Tracks, it gives me a whole new gaming experience. There is no need to hate guys, we are all fans of the DS systems otherwise we would not be posting in this forum.

I understand the hate because the XL isn't a necessary upgrade and it came out just about a year after the DSi was released. Admittedly, it is a very unusual move by Nintendo. Having said that, I still think it's awesome and will probably get one myself.

It's the best looking model for the DS by far, and is reasonably priced.

You poor boy, being forced to buy something that you find hideous and that you can't afford. Oh wait--you mean nobody forced you to buy it?

It's because they don't want to buy something just to hear a few days later that there's going to be a new system. Imagine how mad you would be if you bought the dsi xl then a week later they announce the 3DS, then most people would think, "rats, I just dropped all of this money on a DSi XL and now there's another new model." It's the fact that no one wants to buy their hardware just to learn there's a newer version they could've gotten for close to the same price a little while later.

I agree. To me, it just shows that Nintendo must be seriously high on drugs to be releasing something right after they announce a new system.

Sharp, which is likely providing the 3d panels, says it will be up to 6 months before they're ready to mass produce the panels, which puts us up to October. Then you have to ask who will likely get the first ones, Japan or the States.....and honestly, it's probably Japan, which puts it here in the States at the earliest, one year from now. Add to that the fact that a 3DS screen, according to Sharp, will be smaller than even the DS Lite screen, and there's reason to believe that the 3DS will supplement rather than replace the XL.

That doesn't mean the user can't criticize it. Perhaps those are reasons why the user is not buying it.
