I'm sure most of you oh herd of the new phenomenon about Nintendo next gen ds being powered by nvidia,a power full CPU producing company, and rumours of the ds running in full hd and playing like iphone may be flying over your head but don't you think its far to quick considering the release of the new "dsi xl"

i keep being blocked ?

Everything's relative - the DS has been out for 6 years by the end of this year (compared to GBA's 5 and a half year lifespan)... and the GBA's last version (the Micro) came out after the DS. Given that the XL doesn't do anything new and is only released to target a new audience (same as Micro) and the fact that most people don't see the DSi as a "new" handheld (I know I don't), I don't think it's all that weird. However, I'm thinking it'll be 2011. And a 7 year run is impressive.

I know, right? It's been around 1 and 1/2 years from the GBA-SP release to the DS release, and from the DSLite to the DSi, 3 years! The DSiXL is just about here, so I'm guessing it should be a long wait.

I'm back with a shiny new 3DS, yay!

It only seems too soon because the DSi is quite a significant change from the first two models. The XL, as tealovertoma mentioned, is targeted to a specific audience. However, the DSi itself is a significant change with the added music, cameras, menu interface, and download store--as well as the lack of a GBA slot. It seems too soon after such a significant change.

If you find yourself spiritually drifting (as I was for far too many years), remember that Jesus can and will walk across the water to reach you and bring you back to shore.

Knowing Nintendo, it'll be backwards compatible until the last model (for GBA it was Micro, for DS it was DSi.)
Maybe a different sized cartridge, or not a cartridge at all for the new model?
