Nintendo DSi Console - What's New?
First there was the Nintendo DS and then the Nintendo DS Lite. Now there is the Nintendo DSi, which will be released in America and the UK on April 5th, 2009 after first being released back on November 1, 2008 in Japan. The MSRP will be £149.99 and will be available in the colors of blue, black and white.
Those who already have the Nintendo DS Lite may be wondering what the major differences are between what they have and the new Nintendo DSi that is coming out shortly. Although by first glance there may not be many differences that are seen between the two models, upon closer review you will see that there in fact many improvements made to the new Nintendo DSi.
To start with, the Nintendo DSi is twelve percent slimmer then the DS Lite. The screen on the old Nintendo DS Lite was a just 3 inches but the newer version comes with screens that are 3.25 inches. There have also been better and improved speakers installed that means players will receive a much better sound quality for their various games. But the improvements that the Nintendo DSi has over the older version does not stop there.
Instead of a power switch like the DS Lite had, the Nintendo DSi has a power button, which is located alongside the touch screen on the bottom left hand side. There are also now five brightness settings compared the four that were available before. While that may be exciting there is a downfall here. The DSi has a battery life of only 14 hours on the lowest brightness setting compared to the 19 hours the DS Lite gives on its lowest brightness setting.
So whether you are looking into the Nintendo DSi as a first time player or you simply want to upgrade your current model, there are many things to take into consideration. When the Nintendo DSi was first released in Japan, it sold 171,925 units on its first two days of being available to the public according to Media Create. Within one months time a total of 535,379 units sold in Japan. Once the release hit is two-month mark, total unit sales reached 1,280,000 according to Enterbrain.
What does this mean to you? If you are one of the people waiting patiently in the UK and North America to get your hands on your very own Nintendo DSi then you may have a situation on your hands. Some stores may allow you to pre-order while others will be a first come first serve. If you are not ready and waiting for the moment that this game system hits the store shelves you may find yourself waiting for the next shipment to arrive. Whether you get it on its first release date or shortly thereafter, it is certainly worth the purchase.
Its worth looking to see which retailers near you or which one of your favorite online gaming stores will have the new Nintendo DSi in stock. This way you will be prepared for the release date. My kids cant wait to get theirs.
