DSi XL

The Nintendo DSi XL follows in the fresh footsteps of the DSi just 12 months after its release. It may seem like a short time frame to release successive consoles but the DSi XL isn’t designed to replace the existing DSi, it is designed for those who want to very best experience from their DS console.

Not a great amount has changed in the Nintendo DSi XL but what has changed is what fans have really been asking for. The screen size has been one of the key issues of jealousy from DS plays where they see Sony’s PSP. Although the resolution of the screen still isn’t going to match that of the PSP, the Nintendo DSi XL console will now let you play games on a substantially larger screen making them easier on the eye.

Unlike the last iteration of the DS, the Nintendo DSi XL features screen which isn’t just 10% bigger than its predecessor. This screen is 50% larger. That means the difference will be 5 times as noticeable.

There have been some concerns that increasing the size of the screen without increasing the resolution of it result in a more pixelated appearance. Nintendo obviously took this into consideration and tested the size they could increase the screen to before the individual pixels become noticeable. Staring hard you will be able to see a small difference in how noticeable the pixels are in comparison with the predecessors to the DSi XL console but you’ll probably never notice unless you’re looking for it.
