Well besides the enormous library of games, a lot of people went and rebought the system when DS Lite came out.

That is one of the main reasons why the DS is selling so highly right now, because people are just upgrading.

+ Really great battery life + Even compared to the Core bundle, it is still cheaper and more useful than the PSP + Still plays the GBA library of games + Brain training and edutainment software has done its job to lure in people that otherwise would have abstained from a handheld gaming device. - People upgrading from standard DS's due to smaller form factor and improved brightness/contrast of the new DS lite's screens... and the utter lack of new accessories being made for the original DS.

Of course!

Nintendo is JUST SO SKILLFUL!

The games are great : LOZ Phantom Hourglass, Prof. Layton, T.W.E.W.Y. , Advance Wars, Mario, Ninja Gaiden, Final Fantansy, etc.

NDS has Wi-fi, 19 hours of battery touchscreen, very inovative (same goes to Wii), etc.

Plus, Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii are linked, chained! (BTW, the Wii is also a TOP SELLING console) Do you know that the NDS can also act as a controllerfor the Wii?

Praise the great game-master known as Nintendo!

The variety of games has something to do with it.

It's powered by some of the best software (and variety of software) we've seen in a long time.

There's not only games for everyone but there's quality games for everyone. Pick a genre and chances are there's more then a handful of games that do it justice.

I often see people with a DS in the subway, but none with a PSP. We love the touch-screen!
