I have addressed all the issues raised in the previous FACs and all of the reviews in-between. « Ryūkotsusei »  05:20, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

 * 1) 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".
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) 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)
 * Yeah, "(PSP)" should be there so I added that. 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)
 * 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)

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)
