Very true, I'll admit to not noticing that. I know that a very large demographic for handhelds are kids who buy the latest Pokemon or whatever and that's it, but I can't fathom only having 4 3DS games or 5 DS games.

i think alot of it is due to families with multiple kids may each have their own handheld but share games.

also having multiple revisions means people are more likely to double dip than on consoles. for example alot of Gameboy owners probably bought Pocket or Color later on. alot of GBA owners upgraded to SP. alot of DS owners upgraded to Lite then later to DSi. many 3DS owners may have upgraded to XL then to New.

I didn't think of it that way. While I'm the only gamer in my house, my circle of friends and I do borrow a lot of games off of each other; one of them is borrowing my copy of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam right now. I also did upgrade from an old 3DS to a New XL, so that kind of proves that as well.
