One of the key engineers behind the DS Lite says that Nintendo is working hard to rebuild the handheld console. Kazuo Yoneyama, who was talking to hacks from Nintendo Online, said one the key features of the redesign is improving the machine’s battery life, durability, reducing its size and weight.
This jacks up the price a bit so apparently the team have been trying to work out ways to avoid them. This has cost them a bit of sleep, Yoneyama said.

    Are you pouting, or do you not like Nintendo?

    I'm saying the numbers speak for themselves..

    United States Alone:
    PlayStation 2 - 29.09 million units sold.
    Xbox - 8.6 million units sold.
    GameCube - 7.46 million units sold.

    They're going to be the last entrant to the current generation by a very long shot, and this is the third redesign of the DS while they spin their wheels, trying to launch the Revolution.

    They're taking advantage of what they've got: the handheld market.

    I officially hate Nintendo because with their handhelds they seem to release something good, but with gaping annoying flaws, so they will fix some of them and release a new version, then fix some more and release a new version, etc etc. I mean it's not like a game where you can just download a patch and these are hardware issues like BACKLIGHTING.
