Those DS and Wii numbers makes you wonder if the DS isn't starting to cannibalize Wii sales in the West too...
Not a terrible thing if you are Nintendo though....

If that were true, then it would mean the future of gaming is handhelds, not consoles, and that the doom meter returns to Sony and MS

Or that handhelds are the future for casual gamers...

Looking at overall sales, we could say csual gamers are the future of videogames. ;)

Well the Wii marketshare is slowly going down so who knows...

DS is going up though, and overall there's a rise. Just like your "HD consoles" up argument earlier. ;)

Well Xbox360+PS3 rose. ( by around 20%)
Wii is down ( by 30%)
DS is up.

There aren't many choices here.

Either HD console stole customers from the Wii or the DS did.
I think it's more likely the DS did...

PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

I'm answering your false dichotomy with a false dichotomy. Casual platform sales are flat yoy, there's no decline.

^Its how the rest of the industry treats Wii, just look at third party efforts

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

but DS has way more hardcore games than PSP

DS is the epitome of handheld gaming itself!

Its the definitive gaming system thingy, it broke records in its 5th year....its surpassed the Epic 2nd Station we played on last en!

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey
