Why do we ignore the DS?

the DS is a handheld.. its in the handheld wars, which has already been decided that Nintendo will always control it.

The console wars = console not handhelds. The DS might outsell the PS2 but they are two different ballparks.

That argument worked a lot better before games like Dragon Quest IX and Contra 4 were announced for the DS. At this point it just seems ridiculous. Of course handhelds compete with consoles in both software and hardware sales. Of course handhelds are just as relevant. When companies like Bioware are making games for a system it doesn't make sense to say it doesn't compete in the same market as home consoles. All game systems compete with each other for our time and money. If I buy a game for my DS, that's money I didn't spend on my Wii, PS2, or PSP. It's not like people have separate play money for handheld games.

 Was going to say the same thing untill I saw your response and knew I couldn't explain it better.
