I can assure you that is completely untrue. Unless they mean at the time of purchase. How would they get this info anyways?

So they polled 50 million DS owners?

I'd believe that many DS owners don't know exactly what a touch screen is, but they are aware of the screen they touch with their stylus, otherwise how do they play the games? Maybe they just think of it as something else like a pressure sensitive display or something, and not a touchscreen

Lol that is total bs. Anyone can make "studies" then make upfake statistics. 50% of all people know most study ratios are false. See?

less than half...that could mean anything below half...like 0. Studies are stupid and pointless and in this case fake.

Note that the study said "buyers", not owners. They probably asked a bunch of parents/spouses/friends rather than the intended recipient.

I know my family often had no clue what they were buying me -- as long as it wasn't too violent.

I agree with what the mod said a few post earlier. Also, I can't imagine someone could look at one while it was on and not see it had two screens lit up. I'm thinking this is fabricated as well.

True or not, I'm scratching my head over this one. Half of the consumers who bought the DS aren't very...knowing on the features, or the article...or even the person who published it was truly joking. :?

'The study also claims that only half of those who purchase a system notice that it has a second screen.' Hmm...

I'm actually not that surprised. My friend in Japan has one, and she knew it had touch screen, but didn't know which one it was. She thought they both were.

The DS has a touch screen?! Well I don't really trust that site, sounds like some bs to me. But if it were true, it's probably because most DS owners are kids.
