The 
DS is underwhelming because of the price and the fact that Nintendo thought that casual games and clasic games would drive the console. They released Nintendog (casual game key title in the DS's early success) consumers didn't want it they also brought Pilot Wings a successful SNES era game. Short of 2D Mario that is exactly what you want Nintendo to do and yet it failed.

Turns out consumers don't want more of the same. 

And Galaxy did push hardware the week it came out it went up to 458,416 from 281,934 the week before and went up to 670,095 the week after etc that is pushing hardware, where as NSMB Wii only went to 713,415 from 524,453 a smaller relative boost to hardware. Mario Kart Wii on the other hand is the real hardware mover boosting hardware to 710,311 from 314,078, so obviously Nintendo shouldn't be wasting it's resorces on crap that doesn't move hardware like NSMB Wii and instead focus on cart racers as those are what reall drive hardware. And Kart did it in April instead of November so much more impressive.

this.

also axt, you seem to belive that the only way Nintendo will be succesful is be rehashing the same 5 games over and over and over again simply because they sold more than 15 million. these games were super succesful sure, but Nintendo just cant sustain itself on those few games alone.
