I find it more likely that the DS was supply-constrained in January and that shipments caught up for a big boost in February from those who couldn't get ahold of one the previous month. Nintendo was bringing them in by air freight for the holidays but went back to cargo ships afterwards.

Now it just looks like Sony needs to work on it's Japan situation.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

IOI I like your reason for bans.

"You're right"

"Ok"

Straight to the point. Keep up the good work.

Look at those DS numbers! Undertracked in Jan, anyone?

I don't get it?

[maybe i'm slow]


 I'm not sure either but maybe he's implying that NPD undertracked DS in Jan and "corrected" itself by giving it a boost in Feb. 


Just a theory...


 Oh.  thanks for the clarification.
