In a few years Nintendo will no longer be the handheld gaming king...

most DS games suck PRETTY damn hard too.  After years on the market there are maybe 10 DS games worth a damn and so much shovelware that you could spend a year with a tractor working through it and still not be done.

 

I took you seriously until that point.

Seriously, there's so much fail there, it's not even worth responding to, but I will.

-Four Ace Attorney games (soon to be five)

-Elite Beat Agents

-New Super Mario Bros.

-Animal Crossing: Wild World

-Mega Man ZX and ZX Advent

-FFIII and FFIV

-Hotel Dusk

-Metroid Prime: Hunters

-Mario Kart DS

-Mario 64 DS

-Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time

-Castlevania: Order of Ecclessia

-Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure

-Nintendogs

-Dementium: The Ward

-Call of Duty 4 and World at War

-Brothers in Arms

-Bleach

-Naruto

-Advance Wars: Dual Strike

-Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

-Resident Evil: Deadly Silence

-Final Fantasy XII: Revenent Wings

 

So there's a quick list of thirty games (3x the arbitrary number you gave) off the top of my head.  Bye now!

 

  and about how many of those do you think people who aren't kids/kids at heart would want to play?  I sure can't picture many adults playing Naruto or Animal Crossing.  I'm not talking about Nintendo fanboys when I'm saying the ipod will expand gaming, you already obviously own a handheld and are willing to pay 40 bucks for whatever.  I'm talking about the 95+ % of the population that would never ever buy a DS for any reason and doesn't really want to play a game with cartoon characters (yes playing sudoku counts as gaming too, the revenue comes in just the same).  Selling to the same 100 million people world wide that bought a gameboy is does not expand the market.
