So the new Nintendo DSi has been announced and alot of people seem disappointed. So what's changed, no more GameBoy Advance slot, but instead an SD card slot. A camera has also been added. Other things have slightly changed. The key here, in my opinion, is the addition of the SD card slot. I believe this is a sign of Nintendo connecting their portable gaming device to their ultra successful Wii.
If you don't already know, the Wii also has an SD card slot which for most intents and purposes, has been only used as a storage medium for saved games, downloaded games, etc. Now that the DSi will have an SD card slot, the Wii's online shop channel can be used to sell DSi games and even possibly make downloadable Wii games compatible with the DSi.
Smart, Very Smart Nintendo. It's similiar to what Sony is already doing w/ the PS3 and PSP.
