Nintendo has revealed that the very latest DS revision was nearly called a barrage of other names including the DSi Comfort, DSi Executive and DSi Living. The respective names seem a bit 'odd' now, or do they?
<blockquote>Nintendo's latest DS hardware revision is known as DSi LL here in Japan and DSi XL elsewhere. But the naming could have been different. It seems that Nintendo went through a variety of names before finalizing on LL and XL.
As detailed in the newly posted Iwata Asks column about the DSi LL hardware, Nintendo' staffers considered such names as "DSi Comfort," "DSi Executive," "DSi Premium" and "DSi Living."
At one point, the company decided to use the Nintendo DSi XL name throughout the world, including Japan.</blockquote>
