Word out of Japan is that Nintendo has a new DSi iteration slated for release in the land of the rising sun later this year. There's really nothing new about this particular DSi model -- except for the fact that it's bigger than those currently out in the market. According to a Nikkei report, the new DSi's main feature will be a four-inch screen. The larger screen also translates to larger overall bulk. The jumbo-sized DSi will be three quarters of an inch larger than the current model, although the price will remain at the JP¥ 18,900 (US$ 205) point. Nintendo is reportedly targeting an older demographic with this new DSi, particularly those who like big buttons on cellphones and large print books. While a Japan release has been confirmed for this year, it remains to be seen if this hardware iteration will make it overseas. Related articles: |

Why are you comparing a HANDHELD to a CONSOLE?
The bigger screen has it's own purpose. It's for accessibility. It'll be targeted towards the elderly and so far the rumor is, Japan only.

I think what he meant by Nintendo being strange is that instead of going with the trend of slimmer and slimmer models like the rest listed above (but a PS2 ultra slim?) they decide to go with DSi jumbo...I don't see where he's comparing handhelds to consoles +x

Well, lets see, he's comparing the DSi to a PS1, PS2, PS3... that's comparing HANDHELD to CONSOLE. They have nothing to do with each other.
Either way his whole comment is ignorant.
GBA-->GBA SP-->GB Micro
NDS-->NDSL-->DSi
This larger DSi is for a specific purpose only. It's not for the mass market and in another article the rumor was DEBUNKED.
Nintendo, just like everyone else, makes each new design smaller and smaller.

I still don't exactly see a real comparison, but I did a bit of different-perspective thinking and I think I can see where you're coming from.

I think a bigger system should of been available from day one. I like my DSL but have always hated the fact that half of my thumb can cover the entire face buttons layout and then some.

» i didn't know DSL had buttons??
lol jk man... don't take it to the nipple. XD
i haven't messed with a DSi but if half of your thumb can cover all the face buttons they're either hella tiny and compressed together or you got some big *ss thumbs man.... ^_^
how bout we stop "remixing" all the handhelds and actually make something new. for example, psp 2 with dual analogs would be nice or maybe a whole new nintendo handheld(hopefully not named something like "Yaii" {pronounced Yay} lol)

» eh not bad for butten mashers
sry read this and laughed. b/c personally i traided in my DS lite for a dsi 1 didn't want to try to tradein a ds lite with a broken henge (the lite are known to have that issue) and well i like how the dsi is kinda like the wii with DLC and games. i love the fact it surfs the web faster than that of the psp (even withthe hi-memory mod added to the psp web browser). all i can say about a bigger buttened DSi is parents be warned just because it has big buttens doesn't mean you should buy if for that 7 yearold inless ya want it broken in a week.( my little cuz did this with his DSphat)
