    He makes a valid point though.
    Nintendo is on a really bad trend of rehashing the same shit over and over lately. I mean, they were known to do it for a little bit but now it's just getting fucking OLD.

    Erm, I'm pretty sure the fucking PSP is on it's third iteration now.
    And they just make it thinner and shinier each time.

    I'm not talking about the PSP or other companies that do the same thing, and I'm not saying that other companies don't do it.

    I am saying that Nintendo is getting out of control with this shit.
    HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES MUST I BUY SUPER MARIO WORLD?

    (and PSP only has 2 version if I remember correctly, which aren't forcing "classic" games to be bought 100 times over)

    It's supply and demand

    They do it because it's proven to work for them. People buy all these iterations, and in large numbers

    Same reason Apple comes out with new variations of products every year

    Oh you mean the games?
    Okay.

    It's just i heard someone talking about this today they were like "god this is like the THIRD DS now...godddd"
    People are evidently fine with there being 3 versions of the PSP... because they don't want any version.

    I realize it is supply and demand, I'm not an idiot when it comes to milking your product, and I don't blame them for trying to make a buck.

    But fucking aye, something new would be nice.

    Well for the most part yeah, it's about the games.

    I mean, at the end of the day re-releasing the same system with the sole intention to put VC on it and allow players to buy games over and over again is just a slap in the face. How many of us own these games already for 1) The original system 2) The GBA versions 3) The VC versions 4) and soon the DS versions.

    The Camera is a gimick and all they did was give us a SLIGHTLY bigger screen. Like fuck, come on now, I want to see something new with new games.

    how old is the DS platform now anyway? I'd think before too long they'd come out with an entirely new handheld.

    Hmm, according to wikipedia the DS came out 4 years ago. The Gameboy advance came out 3 years prior to that. Seems like it's a risky proposition to buy the DSi.

    Don't forget the PSP White, which oppresses its poorer, black counterpart.

    I've been wanting a Lite pretty badly so I might just get one of those unless the price is right.

    Also, are we just assuming the "i" in DSi stands for Interactive? My girlfriend said it probably stands for iPod.

    Beat her.

    She's basically right, though. Nintendo's marketing scheme looks like it's based on Apple's.

    I'm referring more to their strategy starting with the release of the Wii. I'm not really talking about releasing incrementally-improved versions of their handheld platform. Though that does fit the Apple mold.

    Two touchscreens would be a terrible idea to put on a DS.

    but then nintendo could release games that let two people play on opposite sides of a single DS with the touchscreens

    these games will paradoxically require two DSis and two copies of the game to play

    DSi owners will be able to use special software to fully edit pictures snapped with the camera using the stylus and the device's touch-screen. (We originally translated that DSi's screens were both touch compatible, but that is reportedly incorrect.) That's another big addition -- both screens of DSi will be touch-compatible

    Uhhhhh maybe
