I play my Enamel Navy DS Lite almost all of the time. I'm always playing Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! 1 and 2, playing Bleach Souten ni Kakeru Unmei, Bleach Kokui Kirameku Requiem, or using Kanji Sonomama Rakubiki Jiten to look up my Kanji :P. You almost never see me out on the streets NOT playing my DS.....well in class doesn't count :P.

I found myself wishing there was a super gameboy player DS type peripheral out. I think a few games might not work perfectly using the Wiimote in place of the ds stylus, but it could be great.

I probably do. With console games, I usually can't just sit down and play a little bit at a time -- I have to commit at least an hour or so to play. I don't always have that time. With the DS, I can just open it up, play for 10-15 minutes, and put it away. I do that quite a lot(especially with games like Picross).

I do...But that's mostly because I don't have a Wii, I packed away my PS2, and the GC is the family's system up at my grandmothers house...I wish I had a used N64 though....:P

It depends sometimes theres nothing out on anything, so ill usually replay a game on a system or a handheld or not play anything at all. Sometimes a ds game will come out and ill play only the ds for 2 months. This was the case with Animal Crossing, Pokemon, and now Zelda. Other times a console game comes out and i just play that and neglect the handheld.

I almost never play on my consoles since I got my DS. All of the money I spend on video games goes into DS and GBA games :)

My DS goes where I go. I play it before I go to bed at night, it helps me sleep. I like being able to take it with me wherever unlike the console.

I play my DS pretty much 100% of the time rather then my consoles, however sometimes a game on the DS will inspire me to turn on the Gamecube or the PS2 and have a play. I too play my DS at night to help me sleep and i take it with me anywhere. Plus being able to sit in my comfy armchair and play games over wifi is awesome or take it with me to my friends and sit on the couch playing games for ages is also fun.

I do. The DS IS my console. Thanks to my R4 I also get GB/C, NES, SNES and Genesis on my DS as well as awesome homebrew Like DSOrganise AmplituDS, GeoWars, Nitrotracker. Games that I'm too scared (or lazy) to import like Ecoris, ASH, Ouedan,Marsh, as well as fitting my entire gaming library on to my one card. The fact I play .ogg and .dpg show that I don't need anything else. Expect maybe more colours! :P

I do, mainly because my sisters are always hogging the Wii, so I play my ds while I'm waiting. Its alright with me though, because I'm perfectly fine with busting some heads over wi-fi on metroid!!!XD

I do. I am always on my DS.
I'll be in bed and just playing away with whatever is in there.
Especially since you can still play GBA games aswell ^_^

But even when my boyfriend is over we still play our DS together
We're getting wireless so we can Wi-Fi

The DS has been my main gaming system ever since I bought it. I somewhat neglected my consoles, like my GameCube and Xbox, but that's probably because I pretty much played all the games, which I anticipated. And I guess the lack of this gen consoles in my collection, plays a big role.

I play my PS2 much more. When I'm on the go, there is not really an opportunity to play and when I'm home, playing a PS2 on a nice big tv with much more immersive games is preferrable.

Although, now that I am married, I do not really have the opportunity to play the PS2! She does like to watch me play games like Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, Prince of Persia 1 but she usually falls a sleep right away. I want to play my precious survival horror games but it is not scary at all when someone else is in the room and then there is the chance at disruptions. The only time I have alone is during the day which sucks for survival horror games and I basically do not like being awake during the day.

Long story, short, I may be switching over to DS so I can play while in bed. The week Zelda Phantom launched, I bought it just in case since it came with that nice free $20 guide. Also, I am really looking forward to Dementium- probably the first game since Midnight Club 3 I will buy on launch day at full price.

I do!!! My DS gets a lot more play time than the WII and PS2. I like that it is portable plus I can play it as I watch TV - It doesn't tie up the TV. My husband gets mad when he can't watch the big screen because I am playing WII, but I can play the DS all I want while he watches TV.

I do play my Ds alot.

I would say I play my DS more than my consloes.

I do however still play console games when can.

Its just that the Ds is so... Conveiniant.

And now that there is tons of new games coming out for it I've been playing it more often.

So my answer is yes.

"almost never play on my consoles since I got my DS. All of the money I spend on video games goes into DS and GBA games "

It's the same with me, I play..........

PS2 1% of the time

GC 7% of the time

PSP 0.0000001% of the time

and DS over 91% of the time, lets just say 92%.

Id have to say i play my PS3 more then my ds, but i still play my ds a fairly large amout of time. Its just if im home after school (i play on bus) i'd rather go to a bigger screened shooting type, since DS doens't have them i like the variety of game genres so it keeps me playing. So usually i play my ds away and PS home

I play the DS 10 times more than I play the Wii. The DS just hasgreater amounts of (andbetter) wifi games out such as Jump Ultimate Stars, Metroid, Mario Kart, etc. Once Brawl comes out, it'll probably change.

I play the DS far more than any other system I own. I love the fact that I can take it almost anywhere, unlike a console which is stuck next the the TV.
