After the DS... after the DS Lite... after the DSi... comes the DSi XL! IGN's initial report

My thoughts can be summarized as follows: what's the point?

Money, and Nintendo knows that humans are herd animal dumb. That's the point.

True, but the DSi offers downloadable content and larger screens. I can see the point in buying that if you don't have the original DSi. However, this thing looks to be big, as in "too big to fit in most pockets". It's beginning to miss the point of a portable game device.

Wasn't the whole point of everything after the DS to make it slimmer and more portable? Why are we taking a step back here?

It is strange, and I doubt this version will sell more than the current DSi Model.

I dunno, they're Nintendo. They can do whatever they want.

Yay, even less battery life.

I don't really know what Nintendo is thinking, but as people have mentioned before, fanboys will buy it.

Actually, this one's supposed to have a battery with improved capacity over the DSi. That's one of it's upsides.

The games will still be made with regular DS resolution in mind. So they'll look EVEN more pixelated (if that's possible).
