Nintendo's Use of Multimedia
Of the four most successful console developers (past and present), Sega, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, the later has been the most reluctant to move away their consoles away from a simple gaming machine. In recent years however Nintendo have become known for innovative ways to play games and their latest innovation is the white DSi which includes digital cameras to bring about more ways of interacting with games.
Sega launched their last console, the Dreamcast, in 1999. It was the first console which provided Internet access for web browsing and online gaming.
The Play station 2 was released a year later but did not come a with built-in modem. It took until 2003 for the modem to become available in Europe.
In 2001 Nintendo released their GameCube but it never included Internet capability as Nintendo intended to keep it purely as a games machine.
With the following generation, it was clear that any system without Internet capabilities would be left behind. This included handheld consoles. Sony's PSP long with Nintendo's DS both included the extremely fast growing Wi-Fi technology. The PSP contains a flash memory reader which allows films, music and photos to be viewed and listened to through the console as with the PS3 and Xbox.
Again Nintendo have been a little more reluctant to bring about non-gaming hardware for DS but with the new white DSi they are about to move into that territory. The white DSi includes an SD card reader which can store music and videos. The quality of sound output in the DSi has also been increased to accommodate the systems music play capabilities.
Unfortunately Nintendo aren't going to let you listen to your MP3 collection on your white DSi. They are sticking to ACC music files only. The reason is unknown although it could be related to a music downloading service.
The main attraction of the DSi is the two cameras it features on the inside and outside. They are only low quality cameras but the aim is to allow them to be used in games.
Nintendo are pushing the fact that there are 11 different filters which can be used in-real time when taking photos. This seems rather more like a gimmick and something that will not be used by most on more than a handful of occasions.
The second most popular colour of DSi after pink is the White Nintendo DSi. This could possibly because the white Nintendo DSi was the first colour launched (along with black). Another possible reason is that white is a very neutral colour, so if someone cannot find the colour they are looking for, they are likely to settle of a neutral white Nintendo dsi.
As you probably know there is no difference between it and the black DSi but there are differences between it and the white DS. There are all the new features such as cameras, flash memory and larger screens of course, but we're talking about the casing that surrounds it. As well as being 12% thinner, the shiny effect has been reduced making the console less shiny but giving it more style.
The white DSi will feature a larger screen as well as a smaller body than the DS Lite. See our website for more information on the white DSi.

Nintendo Wii Consoles Stand Apart From The Competition
In a world full of video games one could easily wonder why anyone would need a new model.
