Indeed. It's just an option for those who want or need it. Just because it exists doesn't mean you're obligated to buy it. Look at clothing... if you take a Small don't buy XXL and expect it to be snug.I don't see why people are making a big deal out of this. Even if you already have a DSi, the "upgrades" aren't enough to make it worth getting upset. This is probably to help support Nintendo's older fans who might have problems with the current DS's screen size.
