SCEA director of hardware marketing John Koller has reacted to DSi's launch by labelling the handheld a product for kids that won't appeal to a wide audience.
Released on Friday, DSi boasts a number of features new to the DS range, including cameras, AAC sound file support and its own online store, but Sony's clearly not impressed, firing out the following statement to media.
If Nintendo is really committed to reaching a broader, more diverse audience of gamers beyond the "kids" market that they've always engaged, there isn't much new with the DSi to support that. Significant gamer demographic groups are being ignored, and there continues to be limited opportunities for games from external publishers to do well on the DSi.
Compare that with the PSP platform, where we have many blockbuster franchises from our publishing partners launching this year, representing a wide variety of genres and targeting diverse demographics. Games such as Rock Band Unplugged from MTV Games, Assassin's Creed from Ubisoft, Dissidia Final Fantasy from Square Enix, and Hannah Montana from Disney demonstrate the commitment that publishers have to the PSP. From our own first-party studios, we're launching unique versions of LittleBigPlanet and MotorStorm, and we're also planning a steady stream of downloadable games -- both new titles and PSone classics -- to add to the content that PSP owners can already purchase wirelessly through PlayStation Store.
Strong words indeed. Does Koller have a point, or is Sony actually running a little scared of DSi's sales potential? CVG Mike rushed out and bought one at the weekend and he's 25. What say you?
Speaking of kids isn't about time Sony grow up and stop using this sad, old and boring playground tatics of putting down their competitors. They've been using this one for years that nintendo is "only for kids" and its getting old and is total bullcrap. Its well known that people of all ages own a DS and its ironic when you consider that sony only ever aim they products at one market, the 18-30 year olds. How sad sony are becoming and frankly desperate.
My theory is they've repackaged the standard hardware with a few more bells and whistles to mainly curb the use of modding cartridges. A few women who I work with happily scampered out to buy a unit over the weekend to only be told "NOOOOO!" by the new unit, when booting it up with an R4 nestled inside.
I knew it wouldn't work because I follow gaming news, but your average Joe and Jane probably won't be privvy to such knowledge and it ain't gonna be advertised on the back of the of the box is it?
Funny really as I work in a GAME in a big PlayStation area and I sold a lot of DSi on the weekend to people buying GTA with it as well as many other Nintendo games like Mario Bros and Kart.
Yeah, you have many games coming out that no one's gonna buy. This is a typical response from one of the two companies who think trying to shoot down their opposition with daft comments is gonna boost their own product.
Sony just have to face the fact that they're in no position to talk b******s and should just get on with trying to sell their stuff. Just like Nintendo are doing...
The DS, whichever version you want to use, is the only machine to have genuinely been taken up by a very diverse demographic this gen, far more so than the Wii in my opinion. It has games for all ages and the PSP doesn't even come close in that respect. Sony have to big up their own products like any other company, but it's this failure to acknowledge the quality and innovation from any other company that cheeses people right off.
Mmmm. I certainly don't agree with Sony on this one. Saying that, I personally think that the DSi is too expensive for what it is, compared to the previous DS.
On the games front, I find that games like Prof. Layton and Brain Training appeal to all ages. But again, you could happily play those on the previous DS.
Why people are rushing out to get the DSi, just so that they can take a crappy, distorted picture of a blue head, is anybodys guess.
It still true that GAME are offering the DSi half price if you trade in a DS Lite with box/manual etc.?
Yes I got DSi for £75 last Friday.
Dunno for how long though.
Gamestation are also doing the same deal, except you don't need the box, all you need is the mains adaptor and Lite. And even if you don't have the mains you can buy a replacement in store which they won't even charge you cash for, they will take the diffence off the trade in.
I pre-ordered my DSi from Game and picked it up on Saturday. I'm 36 years old and, having upgraded from my old original DS, I love it. It looks like it's been chiseled out of graphite (I got the black one).
Aesthetics aside, for me it's a next generation console. It has better, bigger screens, better sound, added features, better processors and has been redesigned; If that's not next gen then I don't know what is.
I think Sony are crapping themselves, as the new look and functionality actually makes the DSi more appealing to the PSP's target age group, in my opinion.
I have an original DS that I got last Xmas and very rarely play. I have no interest in picking up a DSi. I'm 28. I still regularly play my 360 and PS3.
Thank you Sony, yet again you have validated my reasons for not purchasing any of your hardware in this current generation.
I'm a 23 year old male with a large disposable income, and my DSi turned up on day of release. I'd consider myself to be a pretty typical "enthusiast" type gaming consumer.
Think I'll get a Samsung Bluray player instead of a PS3 to play my movies, as the utter ignorance and arrogance directed at their f**king CUSTOMERS is unreal.

Does that answer the question?
Same here, I haven't the slightest interest in handheld gaming, and the presentation of many DS games look dreadful - including the new GTA. Apart from the obvious Nintendo stuff, to me, the DS is just like the Wii - all crappy graphics & casual tat.
And can you play the likes of Fallout 3, Half Life 2, Oblivion, Mirrors Edge, GTAIV on any Nintendo platforms?

So you'll give Sony your money when you buy the Blu-ray films instead?
And really, you shouldn't take much notice to what exec's say, they are all the same.
My advice? You buy what you want, based on what is the best that you can afford. I don't ever base my purchases on the words of some suit. Very foolish indeed. 'Tis where the 'cutting nose to spite face' comes from.

I agree completely about buying what is best. I see your point, but here's my thinking- I have a Wii, a decent PC, a DSi, an iPod Touch and a 360- my gaming needs are pretty much satisfied. I was considering picking up a PS3 as I needed a Bluray player, but this is just one more small reason to avoid doing that.
As a consumer the only way to speak is with your wallet. Sony (or their execs) may not care about my personal opinion and aren't going to miss my £300 on it's own, but they're going to be constantly looking at the numbers for this generation and see they've made many mistakes which have cost them a lot of market share.
Snide remarks about your competitors should be kept behind closed doors, especially when it's painfully apparent that the DSi will sell by the metric asstonne to everyone from sunlight deprived JRPG nerds to their Grandma upstairs.
And yes, I know Bluray is a Sony product, shame that but like you said, I've got to buy what's best
Sounds like they're running scared I thought it was the games that are targeted to a specific market audience, not the whole console, if the DSi is for kids, then the every handheld console is for kids. The DS's library is just as diverse as the PSP, maybe more even. Oh and GTA Chinatown Wars > Liberty/Vice City stories.
yes because the Dsi doesn't use all the Ds games that have been popular with a very broad demographic of people and the dsi will no doubt continue to do so.
If anyones interested you can alrady get new flashcarts that run on the dsi.
I didn't know anybody bothered with R4 anymore the guys that made them shut up shop almost a year ago.
Not only will it not work with a dsi any new games you put on it won't either, unless you perform a bit of jiggery pokery and run a custom system menu on it. Even then its a hell of a lot easier to just buy a new one.
I'm happy with my original Ds for now though. don't think i'll get a dsi untill we see a few dsi exclusive games and a price drop.
I can see why compared to what the PSP is offering why Sony may see the DSi as nothing but a child's toy. I would pick the DSi over a PSP any day because the games are more interesting to me than those coming out for the PSP, regardless of who has the better graphical capabilities, what is the difference between the PSP and the DSi? Well the DSi has a touch screen for a start which makes the DSi instantly accessible to everyone and with the Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks on the horizon I cannot think of a better handheld to own.
And yes, I know Bluray is a Sony product, shame that but like you said, I've got to buy what's best
No it's bloody not, Sony are one of the companies involved in Blu-Ray, the full board consists of:
# Apple Inc.. # Dell Inc. # Hewlett-Packard Company # Hitachi, Ltd. # LG Electronics # Mitsubishi Electric # Panasonic (Matsus**ta Electric) # Pioneer Corporation # Royal Philips Electronics # Samsung Electronics # Sharp Corporation # Sony Corporation # Sun Microsystems # TDK Corporation # Thomson SA # Twentieth Century Fox # Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group / Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment # Warner Bros. Entertainment, In
...slightly more than Sony alone and it makes BR far more than a Sony product.
Yes they will get a share of the licence for all BR sales, but so does everyone else on that list.
As for the comments, come on is anyone actually surprised by any of this, companies (in every industry) do this at the time of a competitors product release. Even Nintendo are not immune from it...
""Mobile phone gaming has been 'going to happen' for a long time. We're still waiting," he said." Source - http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=209613
Just to head off any 'your a Sony fan-boy claims' I would add that I own both a PS3 and a Wii, in addition to a PSP and a DS.
I notice that a couple of the more rabid members here have also pulled out the, sod off Sony Nintendo innovate'.
Bad news in regard to the DS I'm afraid, in comes in the shape of the Tiger Game.com...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game.com
...it may have been a commercial flop, and Nintendo did take the idea and make it work (and Kudos to them for that), but many of the core ideas for the DS appeared first in the game.com.
Its also worth noting that only one hand-held has actually managed to survive for any period of time in the same market at the 'game-boy' family, and that's the PSP. Nintendo have also (quite rightly) borrowed the better ideas from the PSP (music and video playback, on-line store, etc), just as I am sure Sony will borrow from the DSi when they revamp the PSP.
However I'm sure that the more rabid (on both sides) here will be more that happy just sticking to the Sony/Nintendo/MS (delete as applicable) are evil and killing true gaming.
Personally I'm just waiting for Wiiboy101 to arrive and launch a CAPS LOCK tirade of ill-educated abuse.
I wonder how many people have just read the "DSi is just for kids say Sony" headline and didn't bother to read the press release itself? Some "creative" journalism it that headline.
Anyway, reading his comments you could strongly argue that Nintendo have targeted the casual market more than kids market and do they have to reach a broader market? I don't think they will care too much.
It still true that GAME are offering the DSi half price if you trade in a DS Lite with box/manual etc.?
Yes I got DSi for £75 last Friday.
Dunno for how long though.
Gamestation are also doing the same deal, except you don't need the box, all you need is the mains adaptor and Lite. And even if you don't have the mains you can buy a replacement in store which they won't even charge you cash for, they will take the diffence off the trade in.
it does wreak of sony running scared. But if theres something Nintendo have always done well its handhelds. Sony deserve credit for sticking at it and putting up a good fight against nintendo.
That aside, If rumours are true of the dsi getting its own virtual console downloads of gameboy/colour and advance games, its just going to strenghen sales even more. especially if they bundled it with an sd card containing certain handheld classics.

Maybe the quote has been taken out of context, or maybe misconstrued by us? I have a funny feeling that he wasn't refering to the games, rather the below par camera add-on, and such. In that respect he is right because an adult would surely prefer a decent megapixel count?
Like I said before, in a game context, I think he is talking out of his ass.
And who knows what Sony have up their sleeve with the PSP2?
Well i've got a psp and a ds lite and i never use em! But...maybe it's my vanity now but i would not go out in public playing a ds! There so gay. My mum has one for cryin out loud! And as for the dsi?! Most people's phones are at least 2megapixels. Why on earth would you spend that money on that piece of crap kiddy camera. Just stick to your regular ds for games! How many more times are ninty going to rob people of there cash with new versions of there handhelds?? Gameboy, gameboy colour (pretty similar!). Advance. Advance with back lit screen. Advance sp. Ds. Ds lite. Dsi... What next!!
When you consider console sales I think he should concetrate on creating a console which will sell more rather than trying to desperately smear the DS.

Wait just the DS lite? what about the phat version?
ds phat forever. inever bought a lite. never will. wonder how many of the guys that were happy keeping thier original ds's will now upgrade to a dsi now that ehre actually is a definitive difference under the hood so to speak between them.
What angers me is that for a game to be for an adult it has to have mature content like violence, swearing or nudity. This is a cop out by Sony, i never needed any of those 3 when playing games on my Snes, Sega Dreamcast or N64, nor do i with the current gen so why can't adults play games with bright colours and surreal settings?
Until Sony breaks barriers with the PSP and even the PS3 i think they need to keep comments to themselves, being in 3rd place this current gen an all.
ds phat forever. inever bought a lite. never will. wonder how many of the guys that were happy keeping thier original ds's will now upgrade to a dsi now that ehre actually is a definitive difference under the hood so to speak between them.
Well I for one am very tempted, I'm not willing to pay £150+ mind, but if I can trade my original DS and get it for £75, then that sounds like fair deal to me.
I got my DSi now, upgraded from the Phat and I've got to say it's much better, the lighting, the sound, the interface, the functions. All top notch.
I hope the DSi enhanced gamecards get used for graphical upgrades for use with the DSi because the processor still has breathing room here.
Isn't the main gaming market actually kids and teenagers by the way? I'm not too sure but I could swear that's why the NES, SNES, PS1 and PS2 were all so successful.
The camera may be meager but it gets a decent picture if you're just having a bit of fun, I'd still rather have a proper camera. It's good for use for Warioware Snapped though.
I for one am very happy with the DSi and was well worth the price.
one thing i don't like though (actually two things) is the loss of the GBA slot and that it is no longer region compatible so its not an upgrade as i'd need to keep my old DS aswell. although more to the point Sony is only saying this because the psp is the biggest flop since Dreamcast. Its only still alive because it has the Sony mammoth backing it.
..and Sony's competition to the DSi, a games machine that has around 3 decent games! I know of 2 non-games playing women that bought one this weekend each with a copy of Professor Layton and they are both over 40. They wouldn't even know what a PSP is (but then most people don't)
The DS has 3 good games? What crack are you on, it has loads of brilliant gameS(although your mileage may vary). Especially JRPGs, could do with a few more shooters(only a few).
@Steeley: THe GBA slot would take up too much room and was structurely weak but yer, I hear you, I'm keeping my DS for that very reason.
Regions only matter for the online features by the way, physical DS games are still region free.
We should all be getting used to the usual cheap, nasty tactics from Sony. If they were truly unfazed and unthreatened by the release of the DSi then they wouldn't bother to release a press statement at all.
Regardless of what you think about the DSi (I'm a Ninty fan and I probably won't be getting one), you cannot question the scope and variety of DS software. Yes, it has a fair bit of cheapo shovelware (as any console that is relatively inexpensive to develop for has), but it also has a large sackful of out and out classics that appeal to all age groups.
The DS has been a huge success, not only because it appeals to the lucrative kids market, but because Nintendo have always understood and 'got' what portable gaming should be about. Quick bursts of enjoyable, accessible gameplay. Unlike Sony, who think that you simply port over a game that was developed for prolonged play at home and stick it on a power sapping handheld that is as good as unusable without the aid of an adaptor and wall socket.
The general public just aren't that bothered with looking at fancy, high-end visuals on a handheld. More-so than the home consoles, graphics come second to gameplay.
It still true that GAME are offering the DSi half price if you trade in a DS Lite with box/manual etc.?
Yes I got DSi for £75 last Friday.

Wait just the DS lite? what about the phat version?
Uber delayed response, but its Lites only unfortunately.
Also, to anyone needing a replacement mains adaptor they cost £8 in store.
^^ Yet more proof to support the argument that only kids buy it.
"Strong words indeed. Does Koller have a point, or is Sony actually running a little scared of DSi's sales potential? CVG Mike rushed out and bought one at the weekend and he's 25. What say you?"
I wonder how many people have just read the "DSi is just for kids say Sony" headline and didn't bother to read the press release itself? Some "creative" journalism it that headline.
And I wonder how many die hard Sony fans read the story and glossed over the fact that Sony really don't take the DS (or the DSi) seriously?
Not that it was a difficult one to guess but I did say....
Personally I'm just waiting for Wiiboy101 to arrive and launch a CAPS LOCK tirade of ill-educated abuse.
...and look what we get.
SINGLE SCREEN AND DIRECTION PAD = GAMEBOY ERA = PSP COUGH LAFF COUGH LAFF COUGH LAFF.......
DUAL SCREEN = NEXT GEN TOUCH SCREEN = NEXT GEN DUAL MOTION SENCING SHAPE COLOUR RECONDNITION CAMERAS= NEXT GEN
MINI DISC UMD = CD ERA OUT DATED CRAP
DSI ONLY CARTS AND SD CARD SUPPORT = FUTURE PROOF MEDIA
SONY AND UR FANS SHUT THE FOOK UP
Any chance you could shut up and let people capable of having a reasoned discussion actually have one?
In the off chance you actually want to address a few things seriously. Touch screens - see Tiger Game.com and a lot of questions regarding it you have never answered.
Flash Memory - The PSP and phones have been using this to store media and games for rather a long time now.
Cameras - 0.3megapixel, hardley able to challenge even the cheapest phones for image quality and not even a first for a handhold (yes the PSP camera is an add-on but its been around for quite a while).
Wiiboy once again all you do is post rather pathetic arguments that make anyone who like Nintendo look bad.
Yes the DSi does pack an awful lot into its case, but not all of it is innovative and not all of it originated with Nintendo and this next bit is the most importanat.
None of it is worth acting like a spoilt little 7 year old who have been told off by his mum.
If you are a young kid you need a lesson in manners, if you are however an adult (as you claim) then quite frankly you have no excuse and I seriously doubt you would address any of us in this manner face to face.

A HAND HELD BASED AROUND A OUT DATED HANDHELD CONCEPT (GAMEBOY ERA) AND A SPINNING DISC (PORTABLE CD PLAYER ERA)= OBSOLETE HANDHELD
The DS is based around a technology first seen on a handheld back in 1997, so I would say that's quite an outdated concept if we are using your argument.
I also see you have failed to address any of the actual points made, and have once again slipped into CAPS LOCK anger mode.
So let me bring back up a few (old and new) questions you have failed to answer.
You claim to be an engineer, what do you have your engineering degree in (along with what current field you work in)?
You claim that the DS is Nintendo innovation at its finest, if so explain the Tiger game.com?
You claim that Nintendo don't pander to the 'set-top entertainment crowd' and only focus on core gaming, so explain the video content coming in Japan on the Wii and the inclusion of audio, video and picture tech on the DSi (in particular it non gaming applications) and why Nintendo have deviated from your nonsense.
Explain exactly why you think that the Toshiba Spurs upscalling system will be in the WiiHD (which you have made up the sepcs for) when you were totally unaware that the Spurs system uses the same Cell that powers the PS3)? In a nutshell why you want a PS3 powered Wii.
Can I also have a link to that Wii clocked to 3.2 ghz that you claim will outperform both a PS3 and a 360.
I don't dislike Nintendo (so please don't take this as an attack on Nintendo - why would I attack kit I own), but rather an attempt to get you to actually address points in a meaningful way (or just sod off).
However fingers crossed you will manage to get banned again soon.
STATMENT OF DESIGN FACT I DONT DO OPINION OPIONIONS ARE THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF THE WEAK MINDED
Now aside from the totally ludicrous notion that opinion is for the weak minded, nothing you have actually posted is fact, its all opinion.
Hmmm, given that maybe you do have a point about the weak minded.
Congratulations on now managing to insult yourself.
single screen and buttons handhelds of the """PAST"""
GAMEBOY/GAMEBOY COLOUR/GBA-SP-MICRO
LYNX/GAMEGEAR/N-GAGE/GIZMONDO all handhelds OF THE PAST not the current or the future ONLY THE PAST
ALL COPY THE GAMEBOY CONCEPT A SCREEN AND SOME BUTTONS....
MANY MANY MANY YEARS LATER WE HAVE THE DS AND NOW DSi
sony have a handheld with a single screen that is not touch screen and even more STUPID its spinning disc based media witch in a ipod/sd card flash drive no moving parts era is sad joke...
owning a psp is like owning a portable cd player and walking round thinking ur cool wen everyone else has mp3 or other players with no discs
PSP IS PLAIN SAD
SPINNING DISC= OBSOLETE
NO TOUCHSCREEN= OBSOLETE
NO DUAL SCREEN= OBSOLETE
ITS A GAMEBOY WITH ADDED MEDIA ITS NO NEXT GEN HANDHELD THATS THE DSi
DSi is hardly ground breaking but this comment is just pathetic. What the DSi has done is bring Nintendo's hardware up to the standards of the PSP but I can't see Sony bringing up the standard of software to the level of the DS.
mobile phones = solid state storage like flash/sd cards...
ds dsi again solid state storage memory and sd cards
satnav again flash or and sd cards
netbooks PDAs etc again flash drives and sd cards
some still use harddrives but very rare now
PSP A SLOW ASSSED OUT DATED POWER HUNGRY STUPID DISC
YEAH PSP MAKES SENSE ONLY TO AN IDIOT THE DEVICE WAS COMPLETELY OBSOLETE BEFORE IT EVEN EXISTED
DONT ARGUE AGAINST TECHNOLAGY FACT IT MAKES YOU LOOK SILLY
SONY FANS
DONT GET ME STARTED ON MORON STICKS OH SORRY SONY STICKS
the whole dam world uses sd cards SO STUBBEN SONY INVENT A STUPID SONY STICK
SONY FANS LOOK AT UR SELFS AND THEN PLACE HEAD IN THE SAND
HERES LAFFING AT YOU SONY KIDS
I take it you are aware that the Sony Memory Stick actually pre-dates SD cards by over a year (Sony Memory stick launched 1998, SD cards came out in 2000), so you may want to actually check in future before going on another of your little rants.
It also worth noting that the DSi has been available with an SD card in the UK for how many days now?
Now Wiiboy how about answering a few of those questions you have been avoiding.
wiigodboy101, as much as I'm on Nintendo's side, you make some invalid points there. i.e. Dual screen gaming is even more out-dated than single screen gaming seen as Nintendo did that yonks a go with the dual screen Game & Watches
its simply the DSi a single screen and control is out dated and obsolete psp is a gameboy era machine the concept of one screen and no touch screen is completely and utterly obsolete its an out dated stupid machine.....
more reasons its completely obsolete DISCS who uses discs on a handheld its like using a portable cd in a mp3 ipod mini portable player era disc based handhelds are again OBSOLETE AND OUT DATED it also requires outragus loadtimes to load from disc some are even 6 minutes long DSi has no loading waits what so ever
touchscreen is genius for handheld gaming a touch screen plus another screen above is a godsent ITS PURE GENIUS touching screen and havingh another one for sweet 3d viouals IS GREAT FOR GAMING AND THINGS LIKE FPS GAMES
iphone is obsolete only one screen yes its touch but theres only one
psp is not just one screen but no touch its completely out of date
the only NEXT GEN HANDHELD ON EARTH IS DSi
two screens/touch screen/mic/traditional buttons/two cameras with motion sensing and face recognition
power dsi is 2x system clock speed pover ds and 4x ram so its basically psp power with out the loadtimes
get a DSi or be left holding a out dated handheld
* 3 days ago
YES I WON BEST ANSWER AT YAHOO QESTIONS AND ANSWERS THE GUYS NOW BUYING A DSI
its simply the DSi a single screen and control is out dated and obsolete psp is a gameboy era machine the concept of one screen and no touch screen is completely and utterly obsolete its an out dated stupid machine.....
Glad to see you back with another rant and congrats on getting another thread locked in the Playstation forum. I guess another ban can't be that far away now.
more reasons its completely obsolete DISCS who uses discs on a handheld its like using a portable cd in a mp3 ipod mini portable player era disc based handhelds are again OBSOLETE AND OUT DATED it also requires outragus loadtimes to load from disc some are even 6 minutes long DSi has no loading waits what so ever
A comment which quite simply proves you have no idea what the hell you are on about.
Not a single disc on the PSP takes even close to six minutes load at all.
Its also interesting to note that the DSi has borrowed quite a few ideas from the machine you call obsolete.
Music playback, video playback, picture browsing, camera functionality, flash memory card storage, all on a PSP in one form or another.
touchscreen is genius for handheld gaming a touch screen plus another screen above is a godsent ITS PURE GENIUS touching screen and havingh another one for sweet 3d viouals IS GREAT FOR GAMING AND THINGS LIKE FPS GAMES
Yes its a shame that Tiger beat Nintendo to the punch in regard to a touchscreen handheld by quite a few years with the Game.com.
Still that's one of those subjects that you like to ignore like a true fan-boy.
iphone is obsolete only one screen yes its touch but theres only one
Yes of course its obsolete. Now tell me again how exactly do you answer phone calls on the DS1 again?
psp is not just one screen but no touch its completely out of date
News flash - just because Wiiboy says something doesn't make it true.
the only NEXT GEN HANDHELD ON EARTH IS DSi
two screens/touch screen/mic/traditional buttons/two cameras with motion sensing and face recognition
power dsi is 2x system clock speed pover ds and 4x ram so its basically psp power with out the loadtimes
PSP two 333 MHz MIPS32 R4000-based CPUs GPU with 2 MB onboard VRAM running at 166 MHz 32 MB main RAM 4 MB embedded DRAM in total
DSi CPU: ARM processor clocked at 133 MHz RAM: 16 MB of RAM
PSP processing power, I don't think so Wiiboy, not even close.
The DS and DSi are great handhelds, but you are doing them no favours at all with the utter bull you love to spout.
