DSi LL/ XL thought



From big to lite to XL. So, the new DSi LL that will be available this year in Japan is just announced. With its bigger size screen otherwise the same machine, DSi is targeted to more senior demographic.
The thing is, with so much version of DS in the market, it will create a confusion among customer. Not to mention that DSi just announced not a year ago. Isn't it too fast?
Personally, I don't really care about this device nor many persons that I know.
Like analyst Michael Patcher said, its nice to have but not must have. It is an alternative, not an upgrade. So, in the end it is basically comes down to personal preference. Would you like a smaller DS but cheaper, or bigger screen but more expensive?
If Nintendo finds that they can increase the market share by introducing this DSi LL, then so be it. In the mean time, I will stick to my DS lite.
In case you are wondering why it is LL in Japan but XL in North America, in Japan the large size of cloth used is LL while in North America it is XL.
