Despite comments by Nintendo Europe and Nintendo of America saying that DSi will reach their respective markets by next spring and "late 2009", Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's global president, confirmed a launch in both regions by the end of next summer.

"Specific plans will be unveiled by our local subsidiaries, but an autumn or year-end launch would probably be too late," Iwata told [url="http://www.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSTRE49U2WZ20081031?feedType=RSS&feedName=technologyNews"]Reuters[/url].

DSi launched in Japan November 1 to lines as long as 300 people, quickly selling out the 200,000 units shipped to retail while another 100,000 are expected to hit shelves by next week.

Well, I guess current DS owners have nothing to fear.

FOR NOW.

Man, I hope they use the reservation thing again.
On the bright side, I have enough time to gather funds.
