There will also be DSi exclusive games coming to the DSi eventually, but now there is no need for it because most DS owners still have the Lite.

I think Nintendo is testing out the waters considering many people with a DS lite have not made the transition to the DSi and have stuck to their lite. Also, I don't believe it was ever Nintendo intention to really make exclusive titles for the DSi, they have stated that they will still be giving full support to the DS, especially since the DSi is not a stand alone unit it's not the next gen of the DS, more like an upgrade. Not to say they won't make some titles solely for the DSi but I don't expect it to be Nintendo's main focus in it's handheld market for quite awhile, or at least until they see that people have made the switch. Nintendo like any other business is trying to make more of a profit, and since no one can top them on handhelds they tend to recreate systems, like they did with the GBA, than the SP than finally the Micro. updating systems with a bit more features, or slight aesthetic appearance breathes a longer shelf life into their handhelds as it has proved. Those who love the DS but who also like the option of having media stored on the SD card, as well as DLC appreciate the DSi.

And neversoft said they were working on guitar hero fo the dsi, so it's not a big deal. If you can't download dsi ware(no wifi at home) then it just depends on if you want the cell phone quality cameras and the AAC music player. I don't download dsi ware on my and I still love it; the music player is a big draw for me, and the cameras are about the same quality as my regular camera's.

New DSi LL I really don't see why people are getting upset over this, this new model dosen't make the DSi obsolete in any way, and in fact it sacrifices in portability and battery life. My only complaint is that it doesn't have better cameras than the DSi, but I'm still on my DS Lite and haven't been able to afford a new DS game since Yoshi's Island DS, so I'm not likely to be in the market for any new gadgets anytime soon anyway.

Wow, that thing is humongous, especially the stylus! But I can see why people will be upset because of this. I mean, the DSi just got released an now they're creating a new one, a better one! For people like me who wants to be up to date with the latest systems, it sure will be a hard decision whether to switch or not.

I could understand if Nintendo had just launched the DS Lite earlier this year and yesterday had announced the DSi, which has significnatly more features and enhancements, but the LL upgrade is nothing of that caliber of improvment.

That would require the launch of an entirely new platform, Nintendo doesn't need or is in the position do do that at this point.

The battery life in the LL/XL is better: http://kotaku.com/5392444/how-does-the-dsi-ll-compare-to-the-dsi-and-ds-lite What's everyone's favorite DSiware? I'm really liking the Mario vs. Donkey King game and Rayman. I want to try out pictobits, bomberman blitz, and Art Style: Aquia.
