I can care less if they are milking but the trend should be smaller smaller smaller!! Not bigger lol...Not ridiculously BIGGER! That thing would be great for my grandma...

DANG!!

That's a BUGE HITCH!@!

No matter how Big the screen gets, the games resolutions will remain the same.

it's teh same thing they just released, just a little bigger. And then the Lite and DSi were milking aswell. You don't need thirty-thousand different variations of a system. I wonder what Nintendo's response to the PSP Go 2000/PSP 4000 Dual-Release will be...

dude give it up, its milking . See red for your answer

So by saying the PSP has a bigger screen are use also saying the PSP is bigger? I just trying to get an idea if that will fit in my picket because my PSP can. HarlockJC

I still haven't purchased a DSi but I've been considering upgrading from my Lite. I think I'll wait for this to see how much bigger it actually feels in my hands. The size of the Lite is perfect for my small hands so I know DSi would be fine, but if the DSi XL can still feel comfortable I'll probably get it. It would have been nice if they could have somehow squeezed in the larger screens without increasing the size of the system though. Would have been a no brainer to get that over a regular DSi. It looks huge in that picture so I probably won't like it, but I figure I might as well at least feel it out and see if I like it.

Hmmm, I know this is hardly an update from DSi, but maybe I should be thinking about upgrading (I have the Lite).tagyhag

BTW in Japan it is the DSi LL, and will be marketed towards the elderly who would obviously have trouble seeing the screen.

It's actually about the same size as the original DS (not anywhere near as wide though), and that is a comfortable fit in my hands. I may consider upgrading because I hate the feel of the DSi and Lite in my hands...

This isnt milking for a reason. Nintendo made a bigger version mainly for the older audience with a hard time seeing everything on the small screen.

It's good for people who like to play portable games at home, just as PSP Go was designed for people who are always on the move.

I don't mind these types of redesigns, because they're fairly harmless. They're not designed to make the old version outdated, they're designed to try and increase the brand's appeal to different audiences. It is a shame for anyone who bought a DSi already but would've preferred a big screen, though.

The DS Lite to DSi upgrade bothered me more.

Meanwhile, the PSP uses disc based media and is more powerful thant he DSi, so it actually benefits from the larger screen whereas it probably makes DS games look worse. ._.;

I wouldnt doubt their stride for the older audience wasnt their only aim.

I was referring to the comparison made in the title.

It's for old peoples who caint see nothin. 3.25in is just too dang small!

If this screen uses the same resolution as the previous DS's, wouldn't that just be like stretching a small picture and making it big, or does this screen have a higher res?

Inform me plox :P

The other interesting thing is price. Based off of the European and Japanese price tag, it looks like this version of the DS will probably sell for $199 - the same price as a Wii!

(PS: Yes, it will probably look a little uglier since the pixels will be larger. But it won't look as ugly as a stretched image, since the LCD screen will still have the same native resolution as the smaller version. I'm sure it'll look fine; even Gameboy Advance games looked fine when played on the big screen through the Gameboy Player.)

there wont be a dual screen psp lol ,

It's sort of like Sony and Nintendo are having a 'how many different versions of the same handheld can we bring out without actually making a new one' competition.angelkimne

xD

Sad part is this is actually true.

its meant for gamers who can't stand small screens and older people, it will sell side by side with the market leading DSi, for only $15 more.

I don't see it as redesign as much, well just adding more options

buy the one with 3.2inch screen for $15 less or the bigger one for $15 more

Wrong. DSi costs $205 in USD in japan, but sells for $169.99 in NA

DSi XL costs $220 USD in Japan, that would translate to $185 in NA.

i'd honestly expect DSi XL in NA for same price as current DSi in janurary,, and DSi regular for $150

Set up a Ratio 205/170 = 220/x. So theoretically, it should cost around $184. Coincidentally, your value is pretty close anyway. Just saying.

Its all up to how much profit Ninty wants to make. I doubt the DSi XL will cost more than $120 to make per unit

It will could happen for $179.99 i say that coz like the other poster pointed out it actually should be $184 but thats an odd price, 180 is a nice round number

$200 is likely to i guess, like i said its all up to Nintendo on how much profit they will sell

most importantly the DSi XL isn't replacing the DSi, they will be sold at the same time to give options to consumers, but will they drop the Lite since it sells less than the DSi? Having three options on market will be very confusing to consumers, methinks they will be dropping the Lite early next year
