it would be good to know your reason?

Well, the Wii was their Last Stand in the consoles.

If it failed, Nintendo would give up because they have worsen in consoles sales over the years.

The DS at least in Japan come one week before the PSP not two years.

 well this is also what i was saying but alot werent listening to me

but WW it came out earlier then 1 week before

my main reason for believing the ds is bigger risk is, nintendo were profitable even though they lost 2 console wars, the handheld business was there saving grace.

^but i thought they also made profits on consoles

^ lets see profits from a consoles that's being dominated by ps1/ps2 or profits from market dominating handheld, i wonder which one is bigger

^well the hand held market does make more,but if DS failed ninty would of still amde alot by wii,and they could of always make the next hand held use the name gameboy again,but with wii ninty might of still made profits from the hand held market(supposedly DS was a success like it is now)but they wouldnt make another console since their console sales would of jsut been dropping

^ ds was a test to see how consumers will like a new ways to play games, by the time the wii came out they already knew consumers would like new ways to play games thanks to the ds success, which makes ds the bigger risk.
