Gaming what is going to happen with the dsi

MissingNo._ · Jan 23, 2011

Well, I think it'll just be killed off, slowly, most likely after the Nintendo DS Lite goes.

It will sadly phase out,so damn you 3ds

Game Dragon · Jan 23, 2011

In Australia they suggesting a retail price around $400 when that come out that would be around $300 in the USA and 275pounds in the UK, are you still going to buy one at this price

i'm still playing dsl, i wish titles like professor layton 4,5,6 will still be released on the dsl!!!!
i don't play other games on my dsl, it would be a waste to buy a new 3ds just for professor layton

Its kinda weird how it always goes over price in Australia but the exchange rate from AUD to USD is almost the same

It's going to be forgotten about like the Gameboy Micro.

You are all assuming that the 3Ds will be a success I personally think it will be a flop like so many retailers I have spoken to them about the 3Ds they say the price is to high

Some articles say it to low, even if it was over price, it just be slowing come out and still be no flop.

It is too high.

Here in Canada, it'll be around $280.00. Which is ridiculous for a handheld.

Secondly, the price of games have apparently gone up.

I really do hope the 3DS fails and Nintendo thinks "Okay, lets try this again" And they scrap a lot of the useless crap that's in it "like gyros and crap like the iPhone has", and they make a second SKU that doesn't have 3D. Or they could just say "Okay, even though we'll take a hit at first, let's just bring the whole thing down in price. In a couple years, it'll start paying off. We can afford it."

You do not like all features in this thing? They helps with the game experience. Why does it has to fail to lower the price? They do not just sit around and say " Let make the handhelds cost more every year" I mean the more stuff it has, the more people can be happy and for that the price has to go up.

The way they're going to phase out the DS line is the same way companies phase out the older consoles. People will make games for the older consoles for a year or two to give people time to switch. And after that, it'll be "lights out" for the whole DS lineup.

Hah, try saying that to the PlayStation 2.

given the large amount of users on the DS, i think that it will have a similar death to the PS2. Everything about them in terms of success is the same. Professor layton 4, i believe, will still come out in english on the DS and not the 3DS. The DS owners will still buy it, not throw away their consoles, and it can still be played on the 3DS anyway. Perhaps they might make some games that have special 3D features when played on a 3DS and just play normally on a DS or DSi. It would be a clever move. Encouraging the purchase of the new console if you buy the game while not forcing you to buy it in order to play the game. It would only require the removal of the little hook of a 3DS cartridge and i am sure they can code it like they did the DSi feature games. This would keep the console alive, just like the PS2, with the new games still being released on the older console and the newer, difference being using the same cartridge instead of a slightly different disc

I don't even own Dsi... -_-

Deleted-246289 · Jan 23, 2011

I don't think it is going to last like the DSLite, because when the DSi came out, they both had the same games, and the DSi didn't have that much features, but the 3DS is going to have new games only for the 3DS, and it will have much more features than the normal DS. but I am kind of sad about what is going to happen to the normal DS, they really bring back memories

spm12 · Jan 24, 2011

it will be like the be like the ps2 and wish they made more games 4 the gba

Rayder · Jan 24, 2011

The DS/DSi will become the budget developer's system, and the 3DS will be the hardcore system.

Well, with the PS2, you'd have to consider the fact that there was a shortage of PS3s. That prevented a lot of people from buying it, which caused Sony to force the PS2 to live longer.
And, well, people died because of the shortage (gunfights, people getting trampled on, etc.)

EDIT: Forgot about the price. The Playstation 3 was FREAKIN' EXPENSIVE when it came out, which caused consumers to veer away from it.

...We really need you telling us how to spend our money? No, I don't think so.

The 3DS will cost a massive amount at launch, during which time the DSL/DSi will reign supreme.

After that it's lights out for the DS lineup.

It's kinda like the PS3 really. I remember I bought my launch PS3 for $1100.

shamiko_ · Jan 24, 2011

the dsi will live, and so wil the ds lite (maybe original ds?)

as long as we have the awsome MenuDO

The Nintendo DS(i) could have still gone another 5 years still going with the same strength that it has over everyone now. The 3DS is going to be the first hand-held of the next generation but Nintendo could have waited for Sony and Microsoft to make their next gen consoles and then taken the time to make the 3DS 1000x better then it's going to be.

Really everyone knows it's just another way to make money. I'll bet most people won't even use the 3D option or most of the features that the 3DS has. I can tell you right now when I get one I'm only going to be using it for game and maybe 3DS ware if it's actually good, like say being able to download GBA Titles

i know that i am most likely going to play with the 3D turned off all the time. So unnecessary.
