Regarding "kiddie", I see that this word results in a knee-jerk reaction from a lot of you without much additional thought. Let's think about this, shall we, and the frame of reference that *you* choose to place that word. You see the word "kiddie" and you automatically think along the lines of "everyone who owns such-and-such is a kid". That's your way of looking at it. Let me point out the other way. Let's say you have a child. You want to buy your child a portable gaming system, because, like I said, you want to shut him up and keep him busy while you're driving, on roadtrips, on shopping trips, get him out of the house even if he'd rather play videogames (now he can do both), etc. What would you buy? 1. The DS is the less expensive console, so, if the kid destroys it as kids tend to do, you are out less money. 2. The DS library is more "child-friendly" (a synonym for you-know-what). So can we conclude that, given this scenario, which is a very real one happening all over this fine country, that most parents would opt for the DS? That it is the console to choose for children? C'mon, we all know that Nintendo knows this, likes this, as it really is a great advantage, and tries to retain this edge through the generations of consoles. In other words, your thinking is that I said "all DS owners are kids", which is obviously not true as I said I am a DS owner and I am not a kid. However, if you are a kid or buying for a kid, chances are much higher than not that you would end up with a DS. It is what it is.
