Nintendo Handheld Console DSi XL - Blue

Product Information

The DS Lite uses a 3.0" TN TFT LCD screen, while the DSi XL uses a 4.2" IPS TFT LCD screen. The former has comparatively duller colors and worse viewing angles, while the latter has more vibrant colors and much better viewing angles. It should also be noted that the DSi XL seems to have much better quality control in the quality and calibration of their screens. a b c IGN Staff (November 23, 2009).

The DSi accounted for 40 percent of its product line's 2009 United Kingdom sales and frequently topped weekly sales charts in Japan during its first year of availability. [61] [62] In the United States, the console's initial three-month sales surpassed those of the DS, DS Lite, and Wii. [63] Average weekly sales of the Wii and Nintendo DS declined slightly in March; Nintendo DS hardware sales stabilized at over 200,000 units for seven months after the DSi's April launch, while Wii sales diminished. Gamasutra estimated that, in October 2009 and February 2010, 50 percent of Nintendo DS unit sales were DSi consoles. [64] [65] In an October 2009 interview, Fils-Aimé announced that the DSi had sold 2.2 million units in the United States. He said, "If you give the consumer great value in terms of what they pay, they're willing to spend, and we say [that] based on the experience of launching the DSi". [66] The United States had its highest yearly DS sales in 2009 with 11.22 million units sold. [67] The DSi and DSi XL accounted for 16.88 million of the 27.11 million units sold worldwide of its product line for Nintendo's 2009 fiscal year beginning April 1, 2009, and ending March 31, 2010.

The "i" in DSi symbolizes both an individual person (I) and the handheld's cameras (eyes); the former meaning contrasts with the "i"'s in Wii, which represent players gathering together. [59] Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé said, "If Wii was about gaming for the masses, then think of DSi as creativity for the masses." [60] Iwata has said that the DSi is meant to be a first camera for children, and a social networking device for adults. [7] In response to media commentary following the DSi's announcement, Iwata insisted that its new audio and camera capabilities are not meant to compete with mobile phones, the iPod, or the PSP.

Storage: 256MB of internal flash memory [102] with an SD card (up to 2 GB) and SDHC card (up to 32GB) expansion slot [103]While it's easy to find an excuse for the DSi XL, the same cannot be said for the 3DS XL. Nintendo's latest portable system is a revision which comes just over a year after the release of the first 3DS, and although recent sales have certainly improved - in Japan, it has comfortably inherited the mantle of the best-selling DS - the auto-stereoscopic console hasn't been the runaway triumph that its creator had hoped for in other parts of the world. The 3DS XL is unlikely to be given as easy a ride as the DSi XL, then; this doesn't feel like an effort to subtly expand the console's core audience, but rather a gamble which Nintendo hopes will lend the format some forward momentum going into the latter half of 2012, and beyond.

Yui Ehara, designer of the DS Lite and DSi's original casing, had to redesign the revised case. [8] He advocated changing the six speaker apertures, as their circular perforations were redundant to the rest of the handheld's interface. He believed that this alteration also signaled a clearer distinction between the DSi and its predecessors while keeping the unit "neat" and "simple". [10] Ehara hoped the DSi's added features would not interfere with his desired iconic image of the Nintendo DS product line: two rectangles, one on top of the other, with each half containing another rectangle inside. [10] This model was publicly revealed at the October 2008 Nintendo Conference in Tokyo, along with its Japanese price and release date. [11] While the DS product line's worldwide yearly sales figures consistently surpassed those of its primary market rival, Sony's PlayStation Portable, [12] [13] [14] demand for it in Japan was decreasing; Nintendo's launch of the DSi was intended to stimulate sales. The company was less concerned with releasing the DSi in other territories, where DS Lite market demand remained high. [15] [16] iQue DSi 新颜色4月发售" (in Chinese). iQue. March 18, 2010.
