...Because Nintendo fans choose to favor discussion of the Wii over the DS by a huge margin.
This is one of the few forums that does choose to ignore the ultra-popularity of the DS. The DS is re-writing the history of sales charts for japan every week. Despite that, we're always more concerned with how Super Mario Galaxy, or Hot Shots Golf is (never mind about Professor Layton, or any of the other NDS mega-succuesses).
The DS has been an ultra-overwhelming succuess.
Consider this:
It has an insanely high software attach ratio (around 5.0 or more) in both the US and Japan. The DS has a higher attach rate than any next-gen system in Japan at the moment, and twice that of the PSP.
It's selling better than any other Nintendo Handheld, despite real competition for the first time.
It also is guarenteed to have the most 10m+ sellers of any system, in any generation. And unless an NDS 2 does better, will probably not be topped for a few decades.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
