The larger model of the DSi, the Nintendo DSi LL, launched in Japan today, Saturday 21st November, and from the lengthy queues being formed to pick up the fancy new model, it looks like it could well be a far greater success than Sony's PSP-Go.
The Nintendo DSi LL has two whopping 4.2-inch screens and has the following dimensions: 161.0mm / 91.4mm / 21.2mm (comparatively the DS is 148.7mm/84.7mm/28.9mm, the DS Lite is 133.0mm/73.9mm/21.5mm and the standard DSi is 137.0mm/74.9mm/18.9mm). The Japanese model comes in three colours, Wine Red, Dark Brown, Natural White, and also has applications like 'A Little Bit of Brain Training' and 'Flipnote Studio' pre-installed.
According to sources in Japan, the initial shipment is 150,000 units, the same amount that Sony shipped for the PSP-Go. The difference is that Sony is currently struggling to sell more than a third of that shipment so far, whilst Nintendo could be looking at a first weekend sell-out, despite the system selling for ¥20,000, the equivalent of a Wii in Japan!
