Looks like the DS is proving to be a bit popular then Dringo? I thought you said it was "naff"?

Note to self: hold Dringo to this at later date.

Kind of the point I was making...

*Psst*

The original customers buy new ones after the original ones die/break.

As has been said amount of sales doesnt mean a product is good! Hardware wise Nintendos finally released something original that makes buying a handheld worthwhile. Ive had all the gameboys (apart from SP) and it was just the fact it really was just "a console in my hands" that put me off, i found myself in situations where i could of just been playing on my GC. But touch screen/two screens is finally offering something different, but for how long? Who knows about the next gen of consoles. Plus the games will need to make use of them.

Yeah, its good seeing its selling well, but its not like a...washing up powder :\, where one can be scientifically better in every way possible. (yes lame example but still :P) Each console has advantages and disadvantages, the amount of people owning a system wont mean that it plays better when you get it. Maybe think for yourself and buy the one that is better for you, and get rid of the Nike trainers while your at it.

Well if the Disc Read Error issue is still as common as ever then you'll find that 100,000 of those are re-purchases.....

How the hell do they keep finding customers?

Heh. If you can't beat 'em (sony), copy 'em.

DS still looks like a quality product to me.

Quality.

I can confidentally go against that statement,lol, you need to really own one, sit down with it for a few hours then make a conclusion. I thought it wouldn't be all that great, but I was proved wrong.

And Mario 64 Rec Room is pure genuis. :)

If the GBA2 is going to kill off the DS, then Nintendo won't release it for another 4 or so years. Why would you bring out a console and then kill it off after a year if it's doing well? It would be stupid and you know it. No matter how much of a third pillar the DS is it cant coexist with a new GBA.

If the sequence goes DS - GBA2 with a 4 year gap, then the DS is the next Gameboy, just under a different name.
