Consumer demand for the new Nintendo DSi is being hampered by a lack of unique software for the handheld, according Don McCabe, managing director of the UK independent retailer Chips.
Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, McCabe explained that the retailer sold out of DSi stock, mostly through pre-orders, however, free units were more difficult to sell than expected.
"We did get a couple of cancellations where people moved from deal to deal," he said, adding: "There's a few [retailers] that obviously didn't sell everything that they needed to and so consequently started doing a few deals, which was a bit irksome."
One of the most beloved entries in Square Enix’s long-running franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary and that’s cause for celebration!
I'd rather it play more or less the same by have the 3D chibi graphics from Ever Crisis, I don't want them to change the story like they did with FF7R.
This arguably is my best game of all time out of the 40yrs I’ve been playing videogames

Rare has had an astonishing journey since being founded in 1985. But of the 125 titles released to date, which are the 7 best Rare games?
First of all the DSi had an amazing opening few days especially seeing as in my opinion it is overpriced.
A lack of software? The DS has one of the biggest and most diverse software lineup of any console ever. Either I have really misunderstood this article or it is based on irrelevant evidence.
if you already have one. It has some nice features, but it is really expensive and doesn't do much outside of the older DS Lite. It might be really hard to tell the difference to most regular consumers.
and i see no reason to buy an overpriced DSi because it has the crappy cameras, music, and a nintendo store to keep ripping off the gamer.
No buy, PSP 3000 is a lot better deal for the price
The PSP GTAs are simply better, GOD Of War COO is amazing, and Resistance Retribution seems good.
I'd take that over nintendogs any day.
Handhelds stink. They get old very quickly. I think I might of used my PSP maybe 3 times since I bought it. I would rather just use my laptop and play crysis on the go. I generally use my PSP for music nothing more. Handhelds just have mediocre small games that no one cares about.
