the ds is still selling out after over 2 years of being out . its getting major games like dragon quest and ff7. the ds has beat any console in sales . does this mean companys are going to start looking at hand helds more. if xbox has 10mill and the ds has over 40 mill who do u think they want to put a game on there system?
I am a total fan of the DS. But handheld =/= console. You are comparing hockey to baseball.Darthmatt
Handheld == console this generation. There weren't a lot of parallels between the GameBoy and other Nintendo systems, but the DS and Wii share a lot in the way of philosophy and marketing. Ditto with the PSP and PS3.
It's only a matter of time before M$ releases a handheld. And Nintendo will own it just like it's owning the PSP.Number_1_Gamer
ms said they wont but even if they did even psp and gba would crush it . ms lost lots of money on xbox there not going to wastes dev time and more money when there main system is not doing well . gba has 80 million ds has 40 million psp has over 20 millon if they did put out and hand held they would be way behide and would never catche up in sales .

Ditto with the PSP and PS3. They both perform the same function, but handhelds are totally different because the are more accessable. I used a sports analogy for a reason. Both are game systems, but one does not eqaul the other.

:roll: sheep are so arrogant
You're right, the DS isn't owning the PSP.
Oh wait, yes it is. U loze
i think that being more then 2 times a head in sales and have much more high selling games means its being owned . only one game on psp sold over a 1million in usa and 6 ds games did that
The PSP penetrated the market and is here to stay. That's all it needed to do to take a load from N. They aren't seeing the same numbers they did with their GB series.Â

Actually, they are. 40 million in 2 years is better than what any of the GameBoy series managed.
