I seriously don't see it that way. I think the DSi is nothing more than a stop gap to boost sales of the DS and stretch out its lifespan before they release the next generation of handheld. That and a profitable way of testing out new media concepts for the next generation handheld. I think anyone who really believes otherwise is really trying to convince themselves that selling their DS to buy this new console was the right thing to do.
I know I sound quite arrogant, but can you really see Nintendo expecting everyone who owns a DS to go out and buy a DSi? Well i'm sure any greedy company would like that, but do you really expect people to do so? The casual market definately wouldn't throw the money away. That and the rest of the market will eventually be tempted by Sony's next offering and Nintendo will need to compete against that if it is to hold its majority market share.
Edit: It's a bit like when Nintendo released the Memory Expansion for the N64. There were few games worth buying it for and few people bought it anyway.
Yes they do, as do extension cords. Hense why you're always advised to switch them off at the wall when not in use. If the switch is on at the wall, electricity is running through it and any object attached to it. That's what the switch is for. To cut out electricity when not in use. if its not completing a circuit its not using energy[QUOTE="Raiko101"][QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]
No they don't
Just like if you have an extension cord plugged in but nothing plugged into the extension cord you're not using electricity.

you should of paid attention to phisical science
thats why i got a b in it
it was the easiest science to pass
if its a dc charger its only going one way and if its a series circuit then one spot of no connection = no complete circuit which wont use energy
the air is too resistant to ark power to the 2nd pin
That's the whole purpose of the plug, or in this case charger. When the switch is on, it completes the circuit and thus electricity flows. Like Meiaman said above, try poking your finger in if you're not convinced. That and if you read any article on electricity waste, phone and laptop chargers are the first things mentioned. Leaving them plugged into the wall wastes electricity.Even if the DS has stopped charging, it doesn't mean the charger isn't still sucking up electricity. Just as with phone chargers, they use up electricity even when they're not charging that which they are plugged into.[QUOTE="Raiko101"][QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]
It's not draining anything
The battery charges while it's plugged in, when the battery is charged the DS just stops charging
You don't use any electricity unless you're using it while it's plugged in

You're draining up electricity needlessly. Anyways, I wouldn't have thought this would have any effect on your DS.Jaysonguy
