Will the Wii ever pass up the DS?

[Killergran]

I do not think it will.

The DS is the biggest thing to hit handheld gaming ever, and in the end I believe that handheld gaming has a much bigger arena to play on than console gaming. It's cheaper, more portable and doesn't really require as much emotional investment. The Wii will do outstandingly good numbers, but I think that the DS will do even better, and keep doing even better.

Yes, the Wii is tracking over the DS since launch, but I think that's partly due to a shift in attitude. Before the DS, people didn't know you could play differently. After the DS became a success, they not only knew, they wanted more. So the Wii's success is partly due to the DS already paving the way, so to speak.
