[VISHI SO FISHI]

Hey ,

i have found this and this is mainly for the american(the release dar for the DSi)

No DSi release in US until after April '09

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has stated that the newly unveiled DSi will not go on sale in North America until the next fiscal year, sometime after April 2009.

Fils-Aime also said he didn't expect consumers to put off a purchase of the DS Lite in anticipation of the DSi release, instead the company is hoping users will upgrade from DS Lite to the new model at a later date.

"All through the Americas we continue to have great momentum on DS Lite and so for us we have a huge opportunity, much more consumers who want the original DS Lite, and so it will be for us a fantastic opportunity in our next fiscal," said Fils-Aime, speaking to G4TV.

"The critical decision for those consumers is how long do you wait? We haven't announced a launch date, and really for us it's going to be in our next fiscal, so certainly, after April – that's a long time to wait for a consumer who will be bypassing new titles like Chrono Trigger.

"We think most consumers are going to opt to jump into DS Lite now, enjoy all of the great games and then at some future point upgrade to the DSi."

The system is to launch in Japan this November – critical timing for the market said Fils-Aime, as DS Lite hardware sales have slowed.

"It's critically important in our Japanese home market that we announce and launch the new DSi.

"That's because they're reached such a huge level of penetration that this is a great way to keep driving momentum in their market."

No solid release date for the DSi in Europe has yet been announced, with Nintendo only pencilling in a spring release.

well; thats just stupid!

I quote the Osbourne computer systems example; it goes like this:

"The Osbourne 1 was released in 1981 and was a wildly popular portable computer (20 pounds!). Following its release; (within a year) the owner of the company promised a brand new Osbourne 2 soon to come!
Result: he files for bankruptcy as no-one wants the Osbourne 1; they now want the Osbourne 2.

Following that example; nintendo is going to be seeing a HUGE drop in DS lite sales this holiday season.

I feel cheated that the Japaneese market is getting the DSi's this holiday season while the rest of the world's unknowing parents buy the leftovers for their children. bad move nintendo!

Now that's kind of a long wait. =/ I know the DSL is still selling well but thats almost 6 months.

 

[Uzumakijl]

I don't have cheked the topic of the "New month rumour DS" [XD] but is really awesome to see that it is real, and all the things who come with this new ds looks great (Yeah i know that maybe PNG and AAC sucks, but better ram better browser, Better screens, better looks, But.... Why they quit the gba slot??? ....... (I miss my gba with no battery.....), The release date dont matter, Cause i have to save money XD, I bet for the DSi comes faster cause the ds sold millions, and i think almost everybody will buy this ds (I got mine only 9 months ago.... its the Zelda one *.* y love it!), So maybe i wait cause i want to get a special edition one, So Nintendo dont are so stupid to dont sell this on US...

(Yeah i know that maybe PNG and AAC sucks

I don't think that picture format will be PNG, above posters just used it as an example....I think that pictures will be in JPG format..
But AAC sucks, I agree..

 

[Japhle]

I must say I do like the fact that it's not shiny... and maybe being able to play the DSware titles with my flashcart would be nice if it's ever possible. (which I wouldn't be surprised if it's likely.)

 

[gotron228]

is this thing region protected?

 

[pikepit]

i wonder if r4 will compatible to DSi

 

[recover]

I'm really disappointed that the DS and DS Lite doesn't support WPA. I mean, it should have at least have been added in DS Lite.
At least Nintendo has realised it in time for DSi.

oh, no surprise there, i wouldn't be surprised if we had to wait 6 months later (with delays) before it comes out in the UK.

I'm just reading about the DSi now; was wondering where you read that the DSi implements WPA in their wifi.

Also, one thing that wasn't mentioned but I guess we can assume that both the DS and DSi has fully interchangeable games except for any games made for the DSi that specifically requires the camera. It's too bad that they didn't give the DSi a better/faster CPU and/or improve the graphics processing power for better movie quality and the ability to play DIVX smoothly.

If the NDSi would only have 1 touchscreen, why would this video show the top screen being touched?

Because that video looks fake.

[Defiance]

But if you look below, you see the little microphone or whatever it is that's in the center.. So that has to be the top screen.

 

[kevenka]

was thinking the same thing XO
Something is fishy here...

Edit: Maybe someone photoshoped?

Thats a camera i think. But the video looks so fake.
