I personaly think, as person who doesn;t have a ds/dsi and from what i read, it gives people a good variety, yes the ds has diffrent features from the dsi, but thats why u as the buyer decided what would benifit me more, the dsi or the ds? Which ever it is then u buy it. Smart move Nentendo, Its not the end of the world for those who have a problem , thier still making the ds and why would u really care to complain about the dsi... you still got the ds unless you the type to think " oh now i got to get the upgraded version to look cool, to show i have the new one" Eathier one is satisfying.
