The DS this is NOT

I've got a fun fact for you all.

The DSi is not the DS.

Nope, its a completely new console.

I suppose its the same kind of thing as the Gameboy Color was for the original Gameboy.

Funny thing is: since all they added was that 'i' to the end of the original name it creates quite a bit of confusion.

Specs for the DS and DS Lite:

-----------------------

CPUs: 1x67 MHz & 1x33 MHz

RAM: 4 MB

STORAGE: 256 kB

Specs for the DSi

-----------------------

CPU: 1x133 MHz (x2 the fastest processor of DS)

RAM: 16 MB (x4 that of the original DS)

STORAGE: 256 MB + SD card (potentially 2GB or more with SD card alone)

-----------------------

So I guess it makes sense that it will have exclusives that you can't play on your DS and DS lite.

Disclaimer: I appologize for anyone who already knew this. I only came to this realization after I read about it on Wikipedia... I was just so excited I just had to blog about it.
