Nintendo recently announced a new version of their DSi called DSi XL. The handheld will be significantly larger than the original and sport a much bigger screen as well. The new machine is scheduled for a Q1 2010 release. No word on the price yet.
Honestly I’m not sure if this is going to be the smartest move for Nintendo, releasing the DSi XL in Q1 2010 would put it before the one year anniversary of the DSi, how many people would really want to buy something that seems to be the same product only bigger? On top of this the DSi is already around $169, this would put the DSi XL at the least with a twenty dollar extra price tag if not more. Interesting to note this would probably put the DSi XL very close to the PSP price range making Nintendo’s option for a handheld less appealing to some.
[Editor] I’m a big fan of Nintendo. I enjoy almost all video game genres but my favorites are action adventure and rpg’s.
well thats like pspgo. People will buy because its smaller. One will be suprised the fact that a product is smaller or bigger is enough reason to buy a whole new system.
