The DS has been breaking records left and right in Japan, and to a lesser extent they're also doing that in Europe. So why hasn't it happened in America? Every other major system has it's biggest market in America: Wii, 360, PS3, and PSP. Going back that's true with pretty much ever major system that's ever been released. It was expecially true for Nintendo's last handheld the GBA where it's America's totals doubled that of either of the two other major markets. But for the DS it does better in Japan and Europe.
Now I know it does great in America as the best selling system every month since the Lite came out with the exception of last Jan where there were shortages. I'm not saying it's not doing exceptional here in the States and in Canada. But last week, if you want to bank on VGC's accuracy, the DS fell under 100k for the week in America, while it remained steady over 120k in both Europe and Japan. Has NOA not marketed the DS as well as they could have? Is there still a kiddy image in the States with Nintendo handhelds while there's not as much of a one elsewhere?
