The Nintendo DS Lite has been on the market since 2006 and recently surpassed the 51 million units sold worldwide benchmark. These sales statistics do not even include sales of the standard Nintendo DS. In commemoration of the DS Lite’s impressive sales feat, and its two year anniversary, we are revisiting some of the improvements the DS Lite made over its predecessor. Hopefully a retrospective look at these improvements will help us to predict what Nintendo might have in store for the next generation.

As the name suggest, the DS Lite is lighter than the Nintendo DS. Like its counterpart, it also comes in an array of colors. Its small and sleek design have made it very popular among other gaming consoles. The start and select buttons have been moved below the A/B/X/Y button group. The front of it has the volume on left side and the headphones on the right with the Game Boy advance slot in the middle. The stylus has been remodeled and it has a relocated power switch. The Game Boy Advance filler cart and stylus are located below Nintendo DS Lite. The brightness level as compared to Nintendo DS is higher. The instructions are written on the back of DS Lite. Various time and date settings can be made on one screen while you play on the other.

Nintendo DS Lite has been upgraded in a unique manner, which has given ample opportunity to its users. So, let us once again enjoy our favorite entertainment device and eagerly await what Nintendo has in store for us in the future.
