"The DS is doing good and all but its failing miserbly compare to the sales of the GBA in the US. GBA had like PS2 numbers, selling over 200K a month on average. DS is at a decent 150K rate a month."


was this guy like from some alternate universe where the DS and GBA numbers were the exact opposite of each other?

Haha no actually the GBA was strong in NA, it almost beat the Gameboy in sales. It was EU and Japan that let down the GBA

PosPlatformNorth AmericaEuropeJapanRest of WorldGlobal
3 Game Boy (GB) 43.18 40.05 32.47 2.99 118.69
8 Game Boy Advance (GBA) 40.39 21.31 16.96 2.85 81.51

 For a long time GBA was above PS2 in NA. DS on the other hand didnt start selling amazingly until DSlite launched. So what he was saying was all quie true.
