Honestly it’s better than just having a generic name which they apply over several generations, with the only difference being the year at the end (which they might forget to add on some listing’s). So long as it has a simple way to find the size and resolution from the model id, the rest can be kinda funky as long as I can Google it.
It’s basically somewhere exactly between the DS and the 3DS. It has games & apps you can get from the eshop (can’t remember if that’s what it was called), it has cameras, but the games will have about the same graphics fidelity as regular NDS games. It had few games exclusive to the DSi.
Alternatively just think of it as an NDS with a home menu and eshop
Interesting! As a first-day adopter of the first DS and a huuuuuge proponent of Wood r4, that’s fascinating to me! I feel like that’s similar to the PSP Go.
The problem I have with this naming scheme as a consumer is it is hard to find which models are roughly equivalent. Like theyll have their mumbojumbo generic name like ABC24P and this is what you find on reviews but then theres ABC24PE, ABC24PU, ABC24PI3Q and often finding info on if it is just some regional release, different panel or what is actually the difference is problematic.

I don’t actually know anything about the DSi! I’ve had almost every other type of DS, but never a DSi.
According to Wikipedia it seems to be an upgraded version of the DS with a better CPU, speakers and larger screens, but lacking the GBA-cartridge port
Unacceptable!
And has cameras.

I own a DSi XL myself, but I’ve never seen an original DS
I never preorder anything but when the original DS came out, I walked down to the mall before it opened to pick up my preorder.
Took it home and… found one dead pixel. Had my dad take me back to the store later and get a whole new one!
…and the 2ds lol

or AMD’s ever changing naming schemes for GPUs
I mean, I’ll take the stupid XTX crap over whatever the hell Nvidia is doing with Ti super bullshit
