Last weekend, the DSi LL was finally released for sale in Japan! You might wonder who will actually purchase the new DSi LL launched by Nintendo, since everyone has a DS console, and it’s even smaller than the newly launched DSi LL!

By the time the Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara opened, the line was approximately a hundred strong. At the Bic Camera in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro, the line was over 60 people long when the store opened for business.

As Famitsu.com notes, there was a high number of customers in their 20s and 30s. There were also business women, couples, parents and their kids and this old lady.
