Dengeki poll: Only 3.6 percent will buy DSi “soon”
Kotaku’s reporting that a Dengeki poll has shown that a mere 3.6 percent of those questions are planning on buying a DSi soon after launch.
From the piece:
According to the Dengeki poll, only 3.6 percent said they were going to buy the DSi soon. 29.4 said they were going to wait and see a little bit before buying. 26.2 percent were undecided. The biggest chunk, 40.7 percent, said they were not going to buy the DSi. When asked which color DSi they preferred (black or white), a 53.4 percent majority said black, 45.9 percent said white and 0.7 did not answer. The participants in the poll, Dengeki points out, were 81.4 percent male and 18.6 percent female. The average age was 26.28 years old. Continue reading from more Dengeki data.

It’s like barging in on a prayer meet at the local mosque and ask how many people will have bacon for lunch.

I’m not so sure, it’s a fairly horrid little upgrade. It seems like a bunch of gimmicks for half the battery life of a DS and probably double the price, knowing Ninty.
I wouldn’t be surprised if many choose to stick with the DS phat/lite once word gets out as to exactly what this upgrade is.

What Tonka said basically. It’ll sell insane amounts, just like the DS did.
