“Right out of the gate [the DSi audience] is probably the hardcore gamers. They’re usually the early adopters that want to get the latest version of something, and they’ll be the ones that put it through its paces the hardest and give us all kind of feedback and tell us what they like and don’t like. [laughs]” - Nintendo of America spokesperson Charlie Scibetta

There's no doubt that the core audience will be the first to pick this up...but once Nintendo really starts pushing the camera and DSWare features, I think we could see a shift in the consumer base.
