Nintendo of Japan: Nikkei reveal of new DSi is 'speculation'

As expected, Nintendo didn't openly announce the new,
larger-screened DSi in response to a
Nikkei article mentioning it. In a statement to
Famitsu (as translated by
Siliconera), Nintendo said, "Our company is not doing any interviews. We believe this article is speculation." Of course, that is merely a comment on how
Nikkei arrived at that information, and
not a denial of the information.
It's familiar, as well. Nintendo of America said
almost exactly the same thing about
Nikkei's early reveal of the DSi, so we wouldn't dismiss the possibility of a DSi upgrade yet. We're checking in with Nintendo of America to find out more.
