Ok I understand that you enjoy that DS will sell more than the consoles your not fan of PS and PS2 but why no mention about the Gameboy?

 

 Huh? I like the Ps2 and Ps1. Ps2 is an awesome console, and has tons of games I really like. I prefer the GC to it, but the Ps2 is still awesome.

The Ps1 opened the industry, and I like it for that. Games wise though, I don't really have any relationship to it.

I didn't include the GB as I really think it is 2 systems (GB, GBC), and that VGChartz is wrong in combining them. The DS has already passed all Nintendo machines, so including them would be odd.

I thus took the two best selling systems, and asked when the DS would pass them.

 

I think you may have the impression that I don't like any of the PS systems, as I generally say that the Ps3 will sell alot less than most people expect. Still, I myself have been overshooting the Ps3 up to now, so I don't really think that is a valid point...

 

does that make vgchartz wrong for combining DSi?

 

I wouldn't say so.

GBC was an entirely new GB. It had lots of exclusive games, and it was better in pretty much every single way. It was the Gameboy 2.0.

If DSi shows to be like that, maybe. If the new DS doesn't come out before in 2013, with no new DS upgrade (ala DSL to DSi), and DSL dies off in 2009, then DSi will become something totally new.

I still think very many of the GBC buyers were also GB owners (ala, over 50%), if it proves to be like that for DSi too, maybe.

But I don't believe any of that will happen, so I believe the DSi is more of a GBA Micro (or one of those, I never really paid attention).

 

To say it short:
DSi is a new SKU of the DS. GBC was an entirely new GB, but it left the GB with some frontwards compability. The answer to you question is no.
