I think its geard twords older people (cant see well) and boys (boys have biger hands than girls, well most of them) All the boys i know who thought the ds and dsi where dumb kinda want the dsi xl now.
In this world (His world!) -- Wait, who said "his world"?! >_>... <_<... Well, in this world, people often think "The bigger the better" so [Nintendo] was probably building on that with the XL.
i think its stupid to release a new system sooo soon after the last release, n btw BIGGER ISNT ALWAYS BETTER! i have never liked a 'big' guy ever! the kid i like right now is 4'11 n weighs 79 pounds n hes 14 lolz
