On Sunday, the latest edition of Nintendo's (OTC: NTDOY) DS portable gaming system hit stores. In the aftermath of the release, questions are emerging about where the company is heading and what its platform will ultimately become.
There is little question that the DSi will be a big hit. One of the harsher reviewers, The LA Times' Pete Metzger, criticized the matte finish and stated that the machine's advances were "evolutionary," but not a must-have. Even so, he gave it a strong A-.
This attitude was echoed by another tough reviewer, The Globe and Mail's Chad Sapieha, who questioned whether the DSi was really worth the extra money, but seemed confident that the gaming system would be a resounding success.
