Its for those old folks with poor eyesight, after all. Actually, I think the report did kind of indicate that bigger buttons were part of the deal.

I'm a grown gaijin, I have man hands, and they keep making things smaller on me! Remember the original Game Boy, how it had the same sized buttons as the NES? You could even swap out the d-pad and A and B buttons between the two if you wanted a different texture. I may have to see if it's possible to swap buttons between a DMG and a Classic Controller as a science experiment, if I ever get around to getting the proper security bit... Where was I? Ah yes, little tiny girly buttons! No, not even that, I've seen girls with bigger buttons! I for one welcome the prospect of a... DS Heavy? DS Phat? Heck, just bring back the grown-up L and R buttons that were on the original DS and I'll be satisfied! Will the screen be the only thing that’s bigger?

Also, it seems unprecedented for Nintendo to release a revision that would require complete retooling of the exterior design… Not just changing the color of the plastic used or anything… This would be a change that would require some effort… On the other hand, I'm probably just being a bitter early adopter… I’m not sure how to feel about this… On the one hand, there have always been rumors about various incarnations of the DS getting a bigger screen, and none have come to fruition.
