"Nintendo DS"

Hello there.

I'm interested in selling my Xbox, in exchange for something new and probably cheaper.

I'm a little unsure about this "Nintendo DS" lark however; is it the next step up from the GBA or what? Or is it some sort of 'novelty extra' like the GBASP was when that was released?

Yes, I should be crawling google, but to be honest, you guys know your stuff and it'd be a great help to understand what this DS thing is.

I guess I've been kind of out of touch with this whole gaming thing, but I've only really heard a few snippets of information about this DS lark; no one seems to be making a big deal out of it.

They probably could have done - but I think the long delay is due to the DS having 2 screens, which means it takes twice as long to build up a decent stock. And the screens are in short supply anyway, I think. Something like that.

Plus the language translation - but they could have that done by Christmas.

The people who bought one are morons. They deserve to be shat on for their stupidity.

Summer next year apparently. I dont know if anyone knows for sure?

I think the Nokia should pack its bags. But its not really fair on the people that bought one so I suppose thats why they are keeping it going. They're even bringing out a load of new games for it.

PSP has a big chance of being delayed by 6 months or more, and the current release is set for march.

Also the DS is coming in time for christmas for me. ;)

N-Gage was crap.

It's still going?

Sigh. I think Nintendo should of released the DS in time for Christmas worldwide - isn't the PSP coming out soon?

Nokia seem to think they're rather successful...even though they're hardly achieved what Nokia wanted them to achieve.

There's so little support for the system its unbelievable.

I think Systema had more support for their single game LCD systems!

N-Gage is nothing to go by though.

Nokia N-gage and N-gage QD have a total combined sales total of just over 1,000,000 units since release.

Nintendo DS had double that in Japanese pre-orders alone.

Lik-Sang and IM are out pretty much (~shipping 4-5 weeks away, or even next year).

Didn't realise this console was in such high demand.

yes, "March time", thats the confirmed release date from Nintendo.
Oh look, it's March Time, I better go buy my DS.

That's right, Dringo.
I'm sorry.
