Ds sells 152.2 million units in it's five-year console cycle

Iwata: Total DS install base could reach 152.2 million units - Joystiq

I Really think that this might outsell the Gba.. Also the DS will break the standard five-year cycle,

I hope it doesn't. It's time for a new system, and unless Nintendo does it first Sony probably won't make a new PSP, which is sorely needed. The handheld is pretty much dead by this point.

Well if you count the DSi a new handheld then they are...And besides doesnt it take a few years to make a new handled so even if Nintendo and sony say there working on nothing today it wont show the light of day for a while...

The DS sucks. That's why I sold it. Every single game that was coming out was pretty craptastic if you ask me; I was disappointed with every purchase. God knows why it's doing so damn well, it must be all the mindless handheld drones

 

[%chrono trigger%]

fanboys is my only guess why its still doing well

i think its doing well because so many people's kids break these systems like nothing yo, ive kinda been making money off of it, i buy consoles with broken hinges or screens at discount prices and sell them for like 70-90USD. Its so sad how many ive had to come through my hands, ive forced my youngest brother to stick with the oldschool regular DS and i sually have a DS Lite from time to time when i rebuild mine. Currently, im having an issue with getting a little peice of cable out of the connector slot for the touch screen to be able to full control of my current DS.

But yeah, like some kid breaks it, i buy their broken console for X amount of money, parents use that cash and more out of pocket to buy a new console.

Sells like gold. I also agree with the Fanboy thing, there are a lot of Nintendo Crackheads out there, i was once one of them, that ended with the release of the Gamecube, i was a 64 Junkie, i almost had all 360-something cartridges.

I'm pretty pleased with mine... Sorry yours apparently sodomized you in the night.

Both handhelds don't have games worth buying. There are a few good timewasters that you can pirate, but tbh the only PSP games I've stood by are:
MPO
GTA:VCS
Burnout Legends
Lumines

[152.2million times 120usd a pop(average)= 1,442,400,000] equals relaxing vacation in hawaii

Dude, change your sig, it's huge.

What sucks is both are intending to continue their handheld untill it truly dies. Nintendo slaps on a crappy camera and SD slot and passes it off as a new device. Sony's no better, just pushing out a model with a more colorful screen and mic.

To be fair it gained something I want on the ds a long time SD cards.Plus Plus I think it's both a fair upgrade for the price.

You know what's great about it though? You don't have to buy it...

Isn't democracy grand?
