Consoles and handhelds should never ever be considered at the same level.

And I agree, the next Nintendo console will prevent the Wii to sell more than the PS2.

Any particular reason? There was a lot of buzz at the time when the PS2 beat the Gameboy as the best selling console so I think it's fair to put the DS and the PS2 in the same race.

Well because it's not the same thing. The price is different, the crowd is different, the games are different.

It's just a different product.

Umm...not really. Both were targeting both core gamers and casuals. The audiences are very much alike, just the DS base is broader. Price doesn't really have anything to do with this considering the GBA hit $100 long before the PS2.

Umm...yes.

I'm the living proof. I don't like handhelds. At all. I don't like the experience and what it offers but that's just my opinion. It's just to show that gaming is not the same on consoles vs handhelds. Different experiences.

 

Because then we would also have to consider the ipod touch/iphone. I know it didn't sell as much as the DS but it's definitely part of the race.
