Looking at the spec at the Nintendo website www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/2008/nintendo_introduces_dsi_9691.html it's certainly not enough to make me upgrade. It has lost the GBA slot. Is that a problem though as the DS games are generally superior to the GBA games? Don't get me wrong, GBA had some great games and I still have one of my GBAs (yes I had three - one for work, one for home and one for the handbag) but the graphics etc on the DS are superior. The DSi though does seem to be trying to evolve into something else - a cross between a gamestation and an iPod/MP3 player or something?
Perhaps one day our iPod, mobile phone, gamestation, laptop and camera will all be integrated into one single unit. Only question is, how big/small will it be and how often will we be tempted to upgrade? Think of the backup and restore every time you change your PC? What do you think?
