Will 3DS beat DS in sales?

Games that made use of the GBA slot do not work on DSi, some fully, some just missing features.  Stop screaming troll for no reason.

That's pretty bad reasoning.

How many do that, a dozen?

You want to discount many dozens of millions of sales for maybe a dozen games?

Do you honestly think the SKUs that share literally hundreds of games should be counted separately even though their hardware is virtually the same?

It's as if you're discounting some Wii games from software sales because they use Wii Motion Plus.

Out of fairness, I own 2 of them myself. Metroid Prime Pinball came with a DS Rumble Pack which went in the GBA slot. A few other games supported this, but I don't remember them. Then we have Daigasso Band Brothers. There was a GBA expansion cart for that game which can not be played on the DSi. Of course, there are also a few other things that really end up as moot, like the original DS browser and RAM cart, replaced by the DSi's browser. There may not be a lot, but the fact remains that there are some out there, and the people who own them aren't overly happy about it.

I argued this the other day, actually. Because we do count the different models of PSP, Wii, PS3, PS2, 360, Xbox,, and DS as one singular unit, we must also count multiplatform games as one single unit of sales per that game. You can't have it both ways. If MW2 is the fastest selling game of all time, then all of the DS units count as one unit for combined sales.

Adding a clock, imo, does not a new product make.
