Serious question for those of you who own a DS. What is it that makes it so appealing to so many people? I just have little to no interest in it. I have no ill-will towards it, I just don't understand what drives such high sales. (Although in the interest of full disclosure, I have given one as a gift).

I bought one in 2004, because I was a nintendo fan, always have been until 2005..

The fact it offered a touch screen and 3d graphics really made it a must buy for me, and I didn't even care about the PSP, I always thought it was a boot legged handheld that would just flop. Then again, I bought a PSP because it was the "it" thing to get in 2005/2006, I bought it, and my DS wasn't even touched afterwards, its what got me into PS gaming.

Now I use both my DS LITE and PSP 3000 regularly, but mostly my PSP 3000 because of the extensive amount of demos on PSN. I never will know why the DS is such a crazy selling machine, I guess its the marketing.

I'm going to take the opportunity to answer Miguel_Zorro and correct leo-j at the same time. This is a jerk thing to do but I need it to be read by both of you because I am in that sort of mood (a dark, foul mood).

Nintendo DS sells that well because the software library appeals to many, many, many people.

That's all.
