If you were wondering how the design and size of the DSi XL stacks up to previous models, check out this DS family portrait Nintendo snapped. The old DS fat must be the black sheep or weird uncle of the family, though, as it wasn’t invited to the shoot. But as you can see, the DSi XL dwarfs the DS Lite and standard DSi.
More DSi XL pics and an intro trailer after this!

I think the Phat isn’t there because it is no longer commercially available … whereas you can still buy new DS Lites.
Surprisingly (since it is a new gadget) I have no interest in the DSi XL.
Oh, I know, was just being silly with it. With Nintendo calling it a DS family shot it’s sad to see the fat get left out 🙁
And wow, you aren’t going to be rushing out to buy a DSi XL!? Saving your pennies for an iPad instead?
