So, the DSi was announced today to the many crys of joy and foul play. I guess personally I'm kind of confused by the whole situation. Obviously it would be pretty crazy of

Nintendo DSi
Nintendo DSi
Nintendo to announce anything major (aka a new portable platform), but at this point I don't think offering a new SKU is all that great of a move, especially one without a GBA slot and with only a handful of new features. Granted, I'm far more interested than the majority of the internet it seems, but as a owner of the original DS and a DS lite it's a bit hard to get too excited about the DSi. The more important thing I guess is the aforementioned lack of GBA port (a point put well by Stephen Totilo over at the MTV Multiplayer blog). While it doesn't apply to me so much, I can't understand why Nintendo would allow such SKU to exist when their are games that require such a port to exist. Spliting the market is never a good idea, which probably explains why it won't be released this year in the U.S and abroad, not only because the DS lite is doing well, but Guitar Hero DS is too popular.

Oh, well, I'll probably end up owning three DS's before the year is out. :P
