DS is selling a shiteload of software.

IMO, the difference is people tend to buy handhelds more "casually". We have one Wii in the house - for 4-5 people.

We have... 4.. 5.. 6 DS's for the same number of people.

Same amount of software - it all gets shared around.

...

So its a collective thing: one household buys a Wii, 10 games - everyone plays. One household buys 10 DS games - and then buys 5 DS's, and shares the games - everyone plays.

The games that don't get shared - Mario Kart, Brain Age, Nintendogs - they tend to sell massive numbers (i.e. 20m sales).

Especially with the Wii, you could almost equate "controllers" to handheld units...

...

Regardless of how much VG undertracks PSP software - how often do we see PSP software in charts for Europe/US? Almost never. When is the last time a PSP title got into the NPD top#10?

Its doing a lot better in Japan now at least!
