Answer this simple question. Do you want a handheld designed to be a handheld gaming machine, or do you want a handheld that is designed to be a portable multimedia device with gaming functions?

In terms of "true" handhelds, the DS is the best one you can get right now.

Ditto. Game choice is a lot better too.

Honestly, I am starting to get tired of this. First of all, those of you who actually owned a Gamecube, know that there were tons of quality IP's on it. To name a few off the top of my head, there is:

Eternal Darkness

Super Mario STrikers

Odama

Battalion Wars

Viewtiful Joe

FF:CC to name a few.

Not only does the Wii have a larger consumer base, and therefore due to basic economics, more third-party support, but already has the foundations for new IP's. I really have no idea why people are complaining. It's been three-quarters of a year. That's hardly any time at all for developers, not to mention they have to tackle a new method of playing games. Give them time to familiarize themselves with solid ways to program for the motion controls and the new IP's will be coming out the boot. Regardless of the fact, motion-sensing controls will be standard accross all systems next gen anyways.

For all of you who are complaining about missing out on X360 and PS3 games, I do recall that Nintendo said from the beginning that they were creating their own path , and not following what the other systems were doing. When a developer say something of that caliber, it's not smart to invest thinking that you will in fact get all of the X360 and PS3 games.
