@KultofCows, PSP Slim, which are mostly just smaller form factor (not sure about battery life) have good sales, so I am not surprised with DSi good sales, even though it is priced higher.
Beside camera, which not many games utilized it yet, DSware is also a major selling point (at least for me). It is nice being able to play lightweight games without bring a whole bunch of DS games, or resorting to R4 just to minimize those bunch of DS games.
One other thing : DSi are intended to be something akin to PDA, which is why there are many application (like calculator, train schedule etc) that are released (in Japan mostly, so far, but I think it will also happen in US & Europe). Because of those capabilities, it is more like 1 person = 1 DSi, instead of 2 or more people sharing a DSL or DS ori.
