Nintendo’s DSi LL sold over 100,000 units in its first two days of availability in Japan.

Retailing for 20,000 yen ($225/£135), the large screen DSi attracted queues of shoppers at a number of stores upon its release on Saturday.

The system sold 103,524 units in two days, which is less than the 170,000 managed by DSi in the same timeframe following its release last year, according to Enterbrain figures published on Famitsu (via Andriasang). Sony’s PSPgo moved just over 28,000 units on November 1, the day of its Japanese release.



Lifetime Japanese DS sales stood at 28,191,716 units as of November 15.

The DSi LL will be called the DSi XL in Europe and the US and will release in both territories during the first quarter of 2010. "The retail price of the Nintendo DSi XL is expected to be higher than that of the Nintendo DSi,” Nintendo UK has said.

Damn its huge. I've seen smaller Netbooks!

I actually think its a good idea though for the older users. My wife and I purchased a DS lite for her Mum and if this was around we would have definitely gone for it instead.

I know what you mean. To be honest i have hardly ever used handheld consoles in a portable kinda way, i norm just end up loafing around on the sofa with the tv and Gameboy/ psp /DS on.

So this being so epicly massive doesnt really matter to me.

It does look funny tho, like when you see a size 15+ shoe, you know its a shoe but it just looks wrong
