The Wiimote made all the difference between the two systems.

Also, DS didn't have Mario Galaxy Portable or Smash Bros Brawl For DS.

So blaime the GamePad then, not the 3DS. It's an unwanted extension to gaming (unlike the Wiimote)

Also DS had Super Mario 64 DS (which is a lot like Galaxy), New Super Mario Bros, and Animal Crossing. WiiU doesn't have Animal Crossing.

64 DS was nothing like Mario Galaxy. It was a port of an 5th gen game while Galaxy was a bold, groundbreaking leap forward for the franchise.

DS had no Wii Sports/Wii Fit, no Twilight Princess, no Smash Bros, no Mario Galaxy; it didn't offer cheaper alternatives to all Wii's system sellers the way 3DS does for Wii U.

As for Wii U and Animal Crossing, it's coming; wait and see. ;)

I disagree, 64 DS let you play as Yoshi.....was much better then Galaxy.

3DS has no Wii Sports either, what's your point? WiiU needs a Wii Sports to be successful, simple.

3DS also doesn't have any new 3D Zelda's. If you're willing to omit Super Mario 64, you have to omit Ocarina of Time.

So far you've argued nothing, many of the big Wii franchises were on DS

He didnt say Galaxy was better than 64 DS, just that it was a new concept and both games were vastly different unlike 3D Land/3D World which are very similar

His point about those games is they were much different than DS games. Wii had huge hits like Wii Sports/Wii Fit/Smash Bros while DS had huge hits like Nintendogs/Brain Training/Pokemon. 64 DS and Galaxy were very different from each other just like Twilight Princess/Skyward Sword were much different than Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks. There were some games that were similar like NSMB/Mario Kart/Aninal Crossing but in general Wii and DS each had alot of big sellers not found on the other.

In comparison many of the current and upcoming big games on Wii U are very similar to 3DS titles. NSMB/3D World/Zelda remake/DKC/Mario Kart/Smash Bros entries on both systems are similar plus the fact that 3DS is half the price and has a ton of other big sellers not found on Wii U like Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, Pokemon X/Y, Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi, Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus and a bunch of successful 3rd party titles.
