The Nintendo DSi received mixed to relatively positive reviews soon after its launch, with many websites and reviewers having different views if its worth purchasing over the DS Lite.

CNET.com rated it 3.5/5, saying that "While not all previous DS owners should upgrade, the DSi is an ambitious and solidly designed portable gaming system."[77] BusinessWeek rated it 4.5/5, saying that the DSi is "well worth the money," and "Despite some drawbacks, the new handheld game console incorporates significant improvements over its predecessor and is a lot of fun."[78] IGN noted that they "do miss backwards compatibility via the GBA slot" and the removal of the GBA slot as a "reasonable tradeoff" for downloadable content and accessibility to an SD card."[79]

Defective by Design has argued that the DSi provides few significant new features, and is primarily a vehicle for DRM.[80]
