The Nintendo DSi is a handheld game console produced by Nintendo, and the third iteration of the Nintendo DS handheld gaming console, following the Nintendo DS Lite. As a seventh-generation console, the primarily shares the handheld gaming market with Sony's PlayStation Portable. The handheld has launched in Japan, Australasia (Oceania), Europe, and North America between 2008 and 2009. In China, it is known as the iQue DSi and will be distributed by iQue.
DSi History
The Nintendo DSi was conceived at the end of 2006, the same time the Wii was released. It is the third iteration of the Nintendo DS handheld, which itself had a relatively short development period. Since the Nintendo DS Lite's launch, yearly sales numbers of the console have been higher than the competition worldwide. At a Nintendo Conference in October 2008, Nintendo announced release information for Japan of the third DS iteration, including its date, and price due to a loss of momentum of DS Lite sales. There was a lessened urgency to release the new console elsewhere due to higher market demand for the Nintendo DS Lite.
Launch of the Nintendo DSi
The console was first released in Japan on November 1, 2008, in matte black and matte white, with the same colors available for its launch in Australia and New Zealand on April 2, 2009, and in Europe on the following day for 149.99 Pound sterling. The unit was released in the United States and Canada on April 5, 2009 alongside the game Rhythm Heaven. It is the first in its product family to be available in multiple colors at launch for North America. Nintendo DSi's first two days on the United Kingdom market totaled 92,000 sales of the handheld. According to GfK/Chart-Track data, the console's UK region launch had the fourth fastest-selling opening weekend, higher than previous records set by its predecessors.
The Hardware of DSi
The Nintendo DSi has a similar appearance to the Nintendo DS Lite, the second DS iteration. The console has two larger TFT-LCD screens at 82.5 millimetres (3.25 in), instead of the former 76.2 millimetres (3.00 in), capable of displaying 260,000 colors. The lower display of the console is overlaid with a touchscreen designed to accept input from the included stylus or a curved plastic tab attached to the optional wrist strap. Also on the front are the four face buttons, the directional pad, and the Start, Select, and Power buttons. The back of the DSi features the two shoulder buttons, a slot for game cards and a power cable input underneath the hinge. The DSi is 74.9 mm tall × 137 mm broad × 18.9-mm wide (when closed) which is about 12% narrower (2.6 mm) than the Nintendo DS Lite, but slightly broader.
Technical specifications
Nintendo has released few technical details regarding the DSi system. The company has modified some of the DSi's hardware (as compared to the DS Lite), such as the main central processing unit (CPU) and the random-access memory (RAM). Also, the CPU was relocated, and the battery housing was raised to curtail unused space. The DSi features louder and better sound quality due to the inclusion of Codec IC, which can amplify sound and convert digital signals into analog signals. The IC responsible for sound output was upgraded. Nintendo has stated that, to improve portability without sacrificing durability, the front slot for Game Boy Advance (GBA) cartridges had to be removed. As a result, the unit has lost its backward compatibility with GBA Game Paks and its compatibility with accessories that require the GBA slot, such as the Nintendo DS Rumble Pak and the Guitar Hero : On Tour series guitar grip, which is required to play those games.
* CPU: The DSi has two ARM architecture CPUs; ARM9 and ARM7. The main CPU is clocked at 133 MHz.
* RAM: 16 MB of RAM (four times as much as previous models)
* Storage : 256 MB of internal flash memory with an SD card (up to 2 GB) and (up to 32 GB) expansion slot
Wireless : 802.11b/g internal wireless connectivity.
