I want to see if there is a trend or sense of favoritism towards nintendo or any company for that matter, and if you do have a DS did you purchase before or after you bought your Wii, and did your Wii impact your thoughts to buy or pass on the DS.

My two sisters each have one, and my little brother too. I don't have one myself. They bought it because of the games. Two after the wii and one before if i remember correctly.

I obtained a "phat" DS before the wii, then sold it and got a lite. then i got the wii. I am infact, a nintendo fan, but also like the other systems because I think that each system is great in its own way..

Yes, I have a DS that I bought before my Wii. I bought the DS for my wife but I find myself using it more then her because of the great games it has ( phantom hourglass, professor layton, children of mana, mario, dusk hotel room, ace attourney, .....). I don't think i do favouritism( I also have a PS3) towards Nintendo, I bought the Wii cause the system interested me and yes I like a lot of Nintendo games, so I found the Wii would be a perfect match to hold company to my PS3.

Yes. Nintendo games and proper Pokemon RPGs can't go wrong with me.

Most importantly, I've had every handheld since the Gameboy days, and the DS is the first to make me feel like I'm actually playing a system that was built to be portable.

I'd like to see Nintendo maxamize the potential of Wii and DS connectivity though.

I do have a DS... now the reason why, I do not think is bc I like nintendo over other company or bc I own a Wii...

1. I needed a handheld

2. psp vs ds?? DS bc i`m a fan of CV and well... I needed to play DoS and PoR (an dnow the new one on the way) and ofcourse is nice to have also all the CV for GBA :P

Yes. I bought the DS for Pokemon Diamond though, not simply because I owned a Wii.

i was a sega fan ,then a playstation one.i only bought the wii because it was alot cheaper than ps3 and for zelda,i always heard amazing things about zeldas and this gen i just didnt want to miss it.

thank god i took the wii,i am very satisfied,but that wont happen with the ds,its simple its almost the end of the portables gen and new ones will probably come in 1-3 years ,so why bother.also the only game i wanna play is crisis core and its on psp,i was never a handheld fan although my first console was the first gameboy(with kirby,i am a big fan of kirby)

Nope, not really one for the handheld gaming idea. I play games when I am home, I think I can take a break from them long enough when I am away from my 360and Wii.

I got a DS phat near launch as an Xmas gift from gf at the time. Got a Wii just a few months ago. Then added a DS Lite (Cobalt) about a month ago.... (yes I have 2 DS's now... its awesome if you are an Animal Crossing addict)...

I'm a big time Nintendo fan but also own a Xbox and getting a PS3 when RE5 comes out.

Not anymore. I had one but after Mario Kart and Metroid Prime Hunters came out nothing seemed to interest me on the DS so I sold it. I like the PSP more anyway, always have.

bought the DS because I wanted to play MKDS online (w/e year that was) and loving it. Got AC:WW which I havent touch in a long time because its boring and finished Pokemon Pearl. What DS games can I get that looks good and will last me a long time. I miss GoldenSun :( (i want a DS version Nintendo!). Next game though is AdvanceWarsDS. Anyway, currently playing SSBB on Wii.

I got my DS (Gold Zelda Version) after I got a wii. I mainly got it because of how fun the wii was and thought if playing games differently can be this is fun and innovative, then maybe the DS is the same way too. So I got one and I was right. I think it's an amazing little machine.

The main reason I got my DS was for Custom Robo Arena. I loved the Gamecube version and as soon as I told one of my friends about Arena, we both got a DS and the game and enjoyed playing online. Of course, I've gotten other worthy games for my DS, but the Wii did not encourage my DS purchase.

I bought an original DS when it was first released, then I sold it on eBay because of the lack of games for it when it came out. I then bought a PSP with the money. When I saw that the DS Lite was coming out, and by then the DS had some awesome games out, I sold the PSP on eBay and have been loving my DS Lite ever since. I obviously then had my DS Lite before I got my Wii on launch day. I love the Castlevania series on DS, as well as other games like Contra 4, New Super Mario Bros. and Phantom Hourglass.

I got my DS the year lites came out.The PSP just didn't have any games for it that made me want to get one plus I'm not a fan of short battery life. I don't favor Ninendo but lets face it, they dominate the hand held market. As for a Wii I got mine the day Brawl was released and haven't stopped playing my console yet.

I bought a DS long before I bought a Wii. And yes, I do feel as if the DS had a role to play in me buying a Wii. But at the same time I still consider myself to be a PS fanboy moreso than a Nintendo fanboy.

I have a DS, but I wouldn't say I have any favoritism, as I also have a PSP and 360. But the DS is great, some really good games on it.

EDIT: Oh, and I got it before my Wii. I got it a few months after it came out. Its the Phat model, and its really busted up, but still playable

I bought a DS before I bought a Wii. I bought a DS Lite after I bought a Wii because my "cl.assic" DS was broken. I play my Wii a lot more than my DS and it has nothing to do with SSBB. I likwe a lot of the games on the Wii.

I do own a DS. I got my DS the day the DS Lite came out. I had been wanting one for awhile before that but figured I'd wait for the Lite. I've been buying Nintendo since the original NES, and I'll continue to do so as they always release systems that I have a lot of fun with.

I tend to play the Wii more than the DS. But it really just depends on which system I recently bought a game for.
