I went with established brands, but yes new stuff definitely helped DS upfront.

Brain-Age and Nintendogs were innovate software titles, that were both discounted by critics beforehand.  Iwata even mentioned Brain-Age specifically as something analysts claimed was "unsellable".  The secret to Nintendo's success is that they only treat hardware as a means to an end, it's the games that are always their prime focus.  As it should be for any true games company.

To say simply interface, and not the games themselves, drove the DS platform is factually incorrect.

I agree with that. Games and Interface come together on this. One doesn't stand out above the other.
