It’s only going to split the market by allowing games to be developed with camera functionality… rendering such functions useless on previous DS platforms, and potentially gimping the game to a point where it’s simply unplayable on previous DS hardware.

J.O.—> I believe this is the reason for it being stated that it plays both DS and DSi software. It plays games with “camera functionality” and games “without camera functionality”. This is just how I read it. Good job pointing out that it doesn’t play MP3s. That too really hampers this platform.

Lower battery life, no GBA cartridge slot, no memory/cpu upgrade, MP3 does NOT play MP3 (only AAC), and hefty price tag. Attractive? I think NOT!
Also, I read from the specs that it plays “DS and DSi software”. What would be the difference if both machines have the same internal hardware?
