Well the DS didn't *really* take off until the DSLite came out.

Kind of true. I mean it was a phenomenon in Japan before the Lite came out. In the US and Europe however it was basically dead even between the PSP and DS until the Lite came out (also don't discount the release of New Super Mario Bros which came out at the same time). Since then it hasn't looked back, most months selling 2 to 1 or better over the PSP.

New Super Mario Bros' importance for the sales of the DS can't be underestimated. For example, it was number one of the ds' software sales last week in switzerland. This is amazing i think, that such a classic game can make a handheld win a generation.
