Nintendo DSi To Be Released In Summer 2009?

Reports have surfaced that Nintendo’s DSi handheld will be released in the US during the summer of 2009. While that means it’s still a while away, folks in Japan on the other hand, will be able to get theirs from this Saturday onwards for about $192. In preparation for these sales, Nintendo has already shipped 200,000 units of the DSi, and plans to ship another 100,000 during the following week. Global credit crunch or not, Nintendo looks like it’s in for a busy Christmas period.
