So... DSi XL...

Well I was talking to my friend the other day about getting a DSi, but then thought well my DS lite is working fine and im going to keep it anyway for the gameboy slot, and then we discussed about Nintendo announcing another DS console which felt like for some reason was inevitable. We agreed there would be no news till atleast E3 or TGS next year, and now this has come up! The DSi XL.

The funny thing is this has made me decide to buy the normal DSi. Because there isn't any new features other than larger screens. I'm going to sit on this news for a while though. I'd like to see what if anything is better about the thing. Although looking at the size of it compared to the DSi, I decided I'd rather have the console that could fit in my pocket, its all good being bigger but if I can't get it around easily whats the pont of it being a portable console.

Basically I'm wondering if what Nintendo is doing is even worth it? I'm extremely sceptical about their decision to make this instead of making a sort of DS 2 or whatever. I'm sure it won't affect their profits but what is the point? It's unfortunate thats theres very little news.

I suppose we could say, watch this space. I wonder if they'll announce an amazing new feature etc. if not then... well... dissapointing.
