New DSi for the Elderly?

So I take it that at most this magnifies the graphics of the current DS games.

I dunno how good of a idea this is, obviously for older people such a thing would be great, especially with the brain training software.

But for the rest of us who have good eyes, a magnified screen, especially with games that were not built for it, can make the games you have look a tad bit uglier. So if you are a graphics whore, a bigger DS screen may not be the best thing.

You are right, however, the larger screen would allow more smaller text to appear on it, as mentioned in the article. I don't think the graphical resolution would be too much worse.
