...They make another one, and tick off many consumers in the process.
The DSi has been on market for nearly a year now, and already Nintendo is apparently prepping a new revision of said hardware -- though this time it isn't as significant as the DSi itself was. With this revision, they are going to further increase the size of the screens: to about four inches to be exact, which is roughly the same size as the PSP 3000's screen.
It is said to be released before the years end in Japan, with no word on release in other territories.
Out of all the revisions the console has seen thus far, this one has to be most unnecessary of the bunch. Bigger screens are nice and all, but do we really need them? The ones on the DSi are big enough, make it any bigger, and you'll have yourself some rather ugly lookin' games, as the bigger screens would no doubt give them a slightly more pixelated look to 'em. And I doubt many people would want that.
Also, if you already have a DSi and are considering getting one of these (assuming they become available outside Japan, and knowing Nintendo, they probably will) and have bought some games off the DSi Store, you'd have to rebuy all those games again, because they can't be transferred from one system to another, thereby further reducing any incentive to buy one of these.
I have to wonder why they would do this; I mean, isn't two DS's enough? What purpose could this possibly serve, other than to attempt to get us to buy yet another version of the same system? I swear, Nintendo's just as bad Sony and Microsoft now, seeing as they all release a new hardware configuration every few months. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they begin to do the same with the Wii (though I hope they wouldn't).
