People usually view video games as being just for kids. While in the past video game developers used to target kids and teenagers, this trend is gradually changing. Today, one can find many video games that are specifically meant for adults. You can get games like bowling and tennis or games to even learn something new, like cooking or playing the guitar. As a result, video games are helping to bridge generation gap that exists between kids, teenagers and adults.

The touch screen located at the lower portion of the screen has increased in size and the upper portion, which is the non-touch LCD screen, is as big, about 3.25 inches in size. The console comes equipped with speakers and microphone too.

One of the biggest improvements over its precursors is that the DSi comes with SD card reader.
