i am glad i got the dsi and not the dsi xl now.

[garrendesares]

i was looking at both of them side by side and they are equal in size. now if i had the dsi xl i would have to get used to the smaller screen again, but i wish they kept it as big as the dsi xl which would probly add more to the battery life. what is everyones opinions on this? and anyone who says anything about gimmiks i will bring up the iphone lol

if nintendo made the screens of the normal dsi and dsi xl the same size it would defeat the purpose of the xl dont you think?

[bluedudowill]

The battery life of the DSI XL must be quite limited, powering two larger screens than a DSI, I think the DSI XL's screens are about 2.5 inches bigger than the DSI's, whats the point of having a bigger screen, when you can wait for a 3DS? It (apparantly according to this article I found) will have two ARM9 processors, a dual core DS! That I didn't see coming!

If you wanna check out the article, I have attached it below.

Also, IGN have a more detailed article:

Yup, they are TOTALLY the same thing. I mean THIS picture is a liar: http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...10/compare.jpg

Oh, and the DSi XL has a better battery life than the DSi. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintend...S_vs_DS_series.

As for the amazing 3DS, its battery life is so humorously pathetic it even embarasses the PSP.

the 3ds and the ngp have the same battery life. its only so taxing because the 3d. and im glad i didn't even buy a dsi. ds lite is way better in my opinion. guitar hero,gba rumble pak etc..

What are you even talking about... I could hardly understand whatever you just said lol

lets see from what I can understand from what you said if they kept the 3DS Screens the same size as the DSi XL there would be better battery life?

If that's what you meant.... How does that work... Bigger Screens need MORE power Not LESS

Also your glad you didn't get the large screen previous gen machine because of the next gen machine screen size of which is totally diff tech?

That's kinda Stupid IMO.

Lastly DS is still largely gimmicky with only a small amount using its true potential above patting dogs and pony's
feel free to pick on iPhones I have a Normal Sony Ericsson

if 3ds had same size screen as the xl then its battery life would tank pretty hard compared to the garbage life it has

people say the ds is a gimmick i still say the iphones are gimmicks as well lol. ok i did. what i am saying is the battery life on the dsi xl is vastly longer than the dsi, granted the 3d will impact it greatly eather way and its not really mobile (seriously, who would risk taking one of those out of thier house in this day and age?)
