Rumour: New Nintendo Handheld Dated for USA
The Internet (including, of course, ourselves) is being ever so slightly moved by news that the Nintendo DSi will launch in the USA in April... or maybe May... but definitely this year.

Online site, The Industry Standard, boldly claims, "The Nintendo DSi will be made available in the U.S. by May 31, 2009. "

For its part, NintendoEverything maintains that, "Numerous sources have stated that the DSi... would launch in April at $179.99".

We reckon that one of those multiple sources is probably...

...IGN - which appears to agree - especially about the sources - its ones are unnamed as well. It claims that "Multiple sources close to Nintendo...", but no! It then states that, "the company has allegedly relayed to its partners that DSi will ship stateside in early April, most likely on April 4. Insiders assert that they have been told the system will retail for $179.99 when it launches domestically".

The only source not saying anything about the DSi in the USA (or Europe) is Nintendo.

The item you are referring to on The Industry Standard is a prediction, not a news report. Readers can make bets (using play money) for or against it, depending on what they think, but it is not a statement of fact.
