When Nintendo introduces a new product, it phases out the older model. Presently, though, handheld consumers have two choices: the DS Lite or the DSi. Does that mean eventually weāll only have one choice?
When game site MCVUK ask Nintendoās David Yarnton if the company was planing on phasing out the DS Lite, he replied:
Weāll let the market decide. We expect some people will upgrade, but we also anticipate that weāll win over people who were still undecided on DS ā the extra features will help convince them. Thereās an extra incentive.
A more expensive upgrade leaves us wondering whom this is exactly an extra incentive for? Customers or Nintendo?
