also watch out for the Japanese side if vita goes below 10k it will officially be a flop in japan

NDS got a 70%+ boost this month, it's still selling like the gba was, i wonder how much longer it can go on for.

People figured out that the 3DS doesn't offer much just yet and the DS is just as capable at running DS games, soooo...

Gaming done cheaply, yay!

Correct me if i'm wrong, the price difference between these two devices isn't that much, paying a few extra pennies means they get a next gen handheld and a whole lot of ds games to play on top of that.

Not pennies, pounds. For some people it is a big difference to pay the extra 30 odd pounds, especially if they're not particularily thrilled by the titles on the console. I'm not even mentioning the second-hand market here since nobody counts how many DS'es are sold pre-owned, but you can get one for even less then half the price of a 3DS... so... it's a good deal, hmm?

Opps my mistake, i just visited amazon, DSi XL is for £159, 3DS just £134 and normal dsi £117.

Forget second hand market, alot of people are buying dsi's near 3DS's price.
