The DSi also seems to have better speakers than the DS and DS Lite.

The games library though, is the biggest draw of the DS. It has an incredible lineup spanning every genre. From epic RPGs like Dragon Quest IX and Final Fantasy IV, to lighter and more casual games like Nintendogs. The DS library is incredible and anyone who likes games should experience it.

If you're even considering buying a DSi, then do it. You won't look back.
