Nindow is bad company.
This comany release DSi with internet without parent contol option at the beginning of DSi innitial setting. This means the parents who has no idea of internet, would give to the child and he or she is start surfing. Try out for yourself. You can even go to Hardcore site. Nintendo is owned and operated by Japanese and do care about other, except money. Demon minded company.. go to hell, Nintendo..!! Japanese sucks.

My blue dsi is not region locked I can play my japenese Pokemon diamond on it with no problem.
Plan on importing heart gold for it aswell.

the region lock also is nasty to children who have relatives abroad, who want to give the cheerful lad or lass a new game as a gift. cue tears and frustration when the thing won’t play.
nasty thoughtless suits, really. at least when the same thing happens with DVDs, you can (with foresight) unlock your unlockable player. hey! i know! we’ll just have a big collection of dsi devices in the house!

people who decide these things are both greedy and stupid.

I agree but not just for the region lockout, IMO the DSi has add-on’s and removals that simply won’t appeal to the Western/European market.

Lack of GBA port: this is a dick move on Nintendo’s part..example: I own FFVI for the GBA..if i want to play this game on the DSi i have to download it from the store which means i have to buy it AGAIN!…no thanks.

Obsolete camera: .3 megapixel cam?!?…my cell has a 1.3 and my Cybershot has a 7.2, so why in God’s name do i need another cam that isn’t even on par with my cellphone? answer: i don’t.

DSi can support MP3: woohoo! welcome to the year 2000 Nintendo, it’s been done already with the Ipod and not only does the Ipod hold more songs it’s much more portable.

I’m certain the DSi will be a big hit in the Asian markets, but i expect the DSi to phase out in Europe and the States within the first year or so.

“The DS is old hat now anyway.”

Yet, it’s THE best selling console in Japan this gen, with 26 million units sold right now, so that’s ONE in 5 Japanese person who has a DS!

The equivalent for the UK would be 12 or 13 million units!

That’s HUGE, and many of these units are owned by adults.

But then, there is a lot more DS software in Japan, like on most consoles, the Japanese market has the most games. And there are plenty of games to please older gamers available in Japan.

It’s not a hardware problem, but a software one. Too many publishers publish shovel ware for kids in Europe. They should license good Japanese games instead of financing crappy games.

The DS is old hat now anyway.It’s great for kids but for more mature gamers the novalty soon wears off.
When will there ever be a successful handheld console for proper gaming, the PSP was a big let down (it looked nice but real crap for gaming), the DS is for gamers lite.
iphone and itouch are ok but still not for real gamers.
