'Market to decide' whether DSi will eventually replace bestselling SKU
Nintendo has told MCV that it will "let the market decide" whether or not to phase out the DS Lite following DSi's launch.
In an exclusive guide to the new system, we asked Nintendo's UK general manager David Yarnton if the company was looking to end DS Lite's presence in stores following DSi's arrival.
He said:
“We’ll let the market decide. We expect some people will upgrade, but we also anticipate that we’ll win over people who were still undecided on DS – the extra features will help convince them. There’s an extra incentive.”
He adds: “With the DSi we see multiple consumer types for it. As with everything now, we look at our target market being five to 85, offering different things for different people. The functions of the device really open the platform up to more consumers – it gives the DS format unlimited potential.”

The new system launches on Friday, April 3rd in the UK.

will the DSi play DS lite games if I upgrade to a DSi ?
Re: dsi
yes it will play ds lite games, but not gba games. Which seems pretty silly for indies as my shop still sells gba games like hotcakes! I dont think that nintendo should phase out the DS Lite as in these current economic climates, whats cheaper is best! (To a certain point!)
Re: Re: dsi
will the future games coming out for the DSI work on the current ds lite if i cant not afford to upgrade all the ds systems in the house, I fi upgrade one, will these new games work on the other systems.
Re: Re: Re: dsi
I'm 99% sure that the DSi and DS Lite will play the same games. There will be no upgrading of the DS cartridge when the DSi comes out. The change from DS Lite to DSi will be much like the change from the GBA to the GBA SP in that both play the same games. Only the hardware is upgraded.
