Since this is not the current console, and we're now in the next generation of consoles, I believe some things should be past-tensed. For example, in the lead, "It is the third iteration of the Nintendo DS, and its primary market rival is Sony's PlayStation Portable." I believe the bolded word should be "was". Unless...is the Nintendo DSi still manufactured? If the answer is no, then most definitely change to "was".
1. Also, in that exact sentence, you should put "(PSP)" after PlayStation Portable, as "PSP" is used later in the article, but it is not defined as being the acronym for PlayStation Portable. I know it sounds silly, but I was called out on a similar thing by a non-gamer.
Under "Technical specifications", is the image of the motherboard necessary? Unless the reader is someone who works on computers and knows about the innards of them (which I do not), the reader is not going to understand the point of that image. The image does not increase my understanding of this section (and I doubt it increases anyone elses), and the point of images are to increase reader's understanding of the information if the text cannot portray it well enough. I can pretty much say the same for the images of Kuwahara and the GameStop launch event, but at least they're understandable. --JDC808 ♫ 06:40, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, "(PSP)" should be there so I added that.[2] There is speculation based on page 15 here that it was discontinued, but Nintendo says no.
True, for the layman perhaps not. I think you should be more lenient on the images since they're CC. Thanks, « Ryūkotsusei » 19:14, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless if they're from CC, images are supposed to increase reader's understanding of the text. I personally don't think they do, but I won't let a couple of images keep me from supporting. --JDC808 ♫ 07:00, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delegate comment -- After remaining open over a month, I'm afraid this review seems to have ground to a halt so I'll be archiving shortly. Because it hasn't generated much comment, you can re-nominate before the usual 2-week period following the archiving if you choose to. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 05:51, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
