Next-gen Nintendo DS deal won by nVidia
Sunday, October 18th, 2009
The first and important news that needs to be delivered first is that the next-generation Nintendo DS is going to be launched in 2010. In fact this is the successor of the Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSLite and the Nintendo DSi. This will have more powerful graphics technology than the three.

Now the next news: nVidia Tegra will now produce a system chip for the handheld. They have won a contract. This deal would boost nVidia significant profits because DS has gained massive success.
This can also be seen as a coup because Nintendo earlier had been an IBM and ATI customer.
What was the reason of this deal?
nVidia is offering a single-chip for the handheld. It has reduced costs and also the complexities.
Well, this news is still a rumour floated from BrightSideOfNews.com.

Nintendo sales up
Friday, May 22nd, 2009
In Japan the selling record was not so good for Nintendo because the PlayStation 3 solidly outsold the Nintendo Wii and also the PlayStation Portable overtook the Nintendo DS. But yes, the current situation for the Nintendo has been reversed. The Wii and DS is now becoming the best selling products in their categories.

The Nintendo DSi has been sold about 55,000 units in Japan from 27 April to 10 May and it was even the best selling videogame console.
There the PlayStation Portable was the 2nd with a sale unit of more than 43,000 units moved to gamers in the same period. The lead of Nintendo is even bigger because the Nintendo DS Lite has also moved some 7,821 units in the same period.
Sad story for the Wii and the PlayStation 3. They are no longer head to head. The Nintendo home console is up 24,397 units and the PlayStation 3 is only at 18,483. Xbox 360 has suffered the shame.

The release of DSi boosted nintendo DS sales
Sunday, May 17th, 2009
Released in the month of April, Nintendo DSi is on the way to increase the sales of the Nintendo made handheld by over 175 per cent year over year that is quite the performance. This statement is said by Mike Hickey, an industry analyst. He is currently working for Janco Partners.

The main reason is the increased price of the DSi. Hence, it brings in more revenue than the previous one, DS Lite. But yes, the sales volumes of DSi is also said to be higher.
The new handheld should also increase the hardware sales for the month of April by 25 per cent where as the software revenue should be declining by 20 per cent in the same period of 2008. This is just because no other game on the magnitude of Grand Theft Auto IV or Mario Kart Wii has been released in 2009. Some other analysts also say that the decline in the NPD Group numbers for the April month could be as much as 17 per cent.

DSi after a week
Monday, April 13th, 2009
It has been one week since the Nintendo DSi has been out and it is not a surprise that it is already selling well. Gamers may have been thinking either upgrading their DS/DS Lite to a DSi, or else jumping into the Nintendo DS game platform for the first time. Before doing so please check out the following Pros and Cons:
Pros:
The DS games gives a crisp resolution display at the larger size, with up to five levels of brightness.
The Nintendo DSi Shop delivers DSiWare games at only $2 minimum and up also. Now new games will be releasing each week and that too at a very low cost.
It is a real fun to use the camera effects of the DSi.
Another real fun is the audio and music.
It gets a storage solution for the first time. Gamers can now save games, pictures and music/sound.
Cons:
Gamers cannot play GBA game cartridges, no DS rumble support, and no Guitar Hero DS games.
There are no retail DSi exclusive games yet.
Transferring music files is a pain over here unless the music files are in AAC format. Other formats are not working.

DSi is worth the money
Sunday, April 12th, 2009
The best part of DSi: It has digital photo manipulation, rudimentary sound editing and also download store.
The bad thing of DSi: There is no MP3 digital music support and also it is not compatible with older Game Boy Advance.
The bottom line of DSi: It is a fun and useful update to Nintendo’s hugely popular handheld franchise.

Nintendo is dominating the handheld gaming, hands down. Nintendo has recently announced that it has sold over 100 million of the original Nintendo DS and its follow-on DS Lite. This figure is from the time the line was introduced that is about five years ago. There is a little evidence of about the momentum is slowing.
If it is a fact that the DS line is doing so well then why Nintendo is introducing a new version, the Nintendo DSi? The answer is that once again the Nintendo has redefined handheld gaming by delivering a device that is very good for hours of mostly mindless fun.
The company loads the $170 DSi with technology, that is with a camera and photo-editing software. So, it is hours of fun even before a user begins playing a professionally created game.

After having a close look of the new handheld it is learned that Nintendo won’t have much trouble peddling the latest DS iteration to existing owners and newcomers.

The hardware of the Nintendo DSi comes with slightly bigger screens, there are two cameras, a download store and the ability to store games on an SD card.
