What Happens to DS Lite the market will decide says Nintendo
March 8th, 2009
Nintendo has earlier said it is the content to let the DS Lite continue selling alongside the DSi upon the latter’s release. Many is wondering about what the fate of the previous iteration of Nintendo’s successful handheld will be.
In the United Kingdom it seems that the developer is willing to just let the market decide on that. In an interview recently Nintendo UK General Manager David Yarnton said this.
He further said that they will let the market decide. He expects that some people will upgrade, but he also anticipate that they will win over people who were still undecided on DS. He adds that the extra features will help convince them. There’s an extra incentive.
He continues saying, “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.”
