I am not really shocked, the DS is just a beast and every incarnation has been a huge seller. Nintendo is not slouching in the advertisement department for it, I have seen tons of commercials for it (usually featuring New Super Mario Bros. or some WarioWare game, although I don't know if it's WarioWare: Touched! or WarioWare: D.I.Y.).

I also wonder how many units were shipped. Given the size of the box, I wouldn't think most stores would want to stock too many of them due to the extra shelf space taken up.

DS is a mover. A store would be stupid to deny the biggest system mover ever shelf space.

The box is still smaller than a PSP 3000 box.

I am enjoying my XL, I actually find myself playing my DS more and I am sure that it is not simply my mind trying to validate the purchase.

Ha Ha just as Newscast said! us old people couldn't wait to buy this!!

I hope you young folk go blind squinting at your tiny screens, using that "toothpick" for a stylus!! Ohh and I hope no one ever sees you do that awesome jump on NSMB because they cant sit next to you like my grandson does when I'm playing.

Nag nag nag nag... wait.... I'm only 30...




ONLY!??!!?

We're never gonna live that down, are we?

I'm pretty sure we (or at least I) never said that the DSi XL was just for old people, I think we said that's the PR/marketing angle Nintendo was using for it.

Exactly, Nintendo's Japanese commercials for the system even feature elderly people playing it with their grandkids.

Sorry Neal, I was just trolling you guys...... If only it made me 93% more mature.....

I'm not old....

I'm old.

You're ancient.

I'm still pretty young, i'm 23.

@ControlerFleX Oh, I know. :)

So, the question that everyone should be asking is: So, how many of these are Micros?
