I might also add, nintendo took the risk with the ds not the wii, and it showed that people where bored of the conventional style of play that we had all become accoustemed to. The ds didnt even carry on the game boy name that had sold ridiculously well for nintendo, i think they did that incase the ds was a flop and they could quickly release the game boy 2 or whatever quickly and erase the ds from the minds of us all ala virtual boy style.
