Okay, so why did they leave the buttons/d-pad the same size? to me the point of this thing is to be geared towards those with larger than normal hands. and assuming they have those large hands, they're likely going to have large fingers/thumbs to go with them.]]>Feb 24th 2010 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/]]>Feb 24th 2010 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/

Hardly, at least the iPad has a few new tricks up it's sleeve. Frankly people who keep harping on about the iPad want to get a bit of vision. Sure Apple could have done more, but it's not like they took a very dated product and up sized the god damn thing. Nintendo if your short on ideas why not ask your customers...or are you still busy reckoning that us Wii owners don't need HD, yeah like Mario doesn't need a moustache! ]]>Feb 24th 2010 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/Yes, like the iPad's inability to use flash whatsoever!

I think it's for the people that leave there ds's at home, I like the idea of a much more finger friendly ds... I mean I never take my psp or ds out of my house, I use my pre now to get my Pokemon fix lol.

When I do find a game that I want to play on my ds I usually play it at home on my spare time... and I'd love to play the new pokemon and final fantasy 4 on a big screen, Nintendo has my money.]]>Feb 25th 2010 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/Feb 24th 2010 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/Feb 24th 2010 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/Feb 24th 2010 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/

No, I never owned one...but my little brother did. He had it for almost a year before selling it to get a PSP and Socom FTB2.

Why did people buy Windows Vista? Because it was made by Microsoft and the people thought it would be another Microsoft product, but instead it sucked. Still has high sale numbers, but everyone who has it wants to get rid of it.
Nintendo, known for their good games and not too mature game titles...parents/kids see the name Nintendo and just buy. Sales figures may mean it sold a lot, doesn't mean its good...at all...]]>Feb 24th 2010 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/
Vista did not get high sales, Windows 7 showed that by beating the whole of OS X's marketshare in just 4 weeks

Anyway, 'mature' does not mean 'good', knowing nintendo, they make alot of 'good' games]]>Feb 24th 2010 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/The point here is that people bought Vista because they thought they'd be getting a great Microsoft product (IDK how great and Microsoft can ever go together though)...I was not trying to discuss Vista / 7 sales.
The idea here is that people bought the DS thinking it'd be a great Nintendo product...

Market share doesn't indicate how good a product is, either, that's for sure. ]]>Feb 24th 2010 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/
In never implied anything about which one is better

@Flyers

Its always been like that for almost all products, but there are some exeptions like the PSP go, people knew that it was useless, then what happens? no one bought it]]>Feb 24th 2010 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/
Well that's incomparable logic at best. Beginning with the fact that the DS didn't fail or suck, and ending on how no one can prove that everyone wants to get rid of one.

"Nintendo, known for their good games and not too mature game titles...parents/kids see the name Nintendo and just buy. Sales figures may mean it sold a lot, doesn't mean its good...at all..."

Fact or opinion? I know a lot of parents/kids who see the name "Sony", or "Xbox", or iPhone" and just buy too. What does this say about them, and the sales figures of their products?]]>Feb 24th 2010 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/Feb 24th 2010 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/nintendos-oversized-dsi-xl-heading-to-the-us-on-march-28th-for/
Im in college too, and I love my DS. If your brother had it, and not you, for only a year, of course you wouldn't know the great games that released on the DS.
