> if you want to get extremely technical the ds has outsold all of the next generation consoles this is also including 360,ps3, wii, and psp

you’re talking DS & DS lite combined

i think what you’re not realizing about comparing new nintendo with microsoft & Sony is that it has a wider audience…expically the next gen consoles.

most young kids…5+ will get DS’s or DS lites over PSP & Wii’s over 360’s & PS3’s due to price & game selection.

my wifes sister has 4 kids & (1, twin6 & 10) the twin boys wanted PSP’s & the 10yr old girl wanted a DSlite for xmas.  
i told her PSPs are a little much for a 6yr old.  
they all ended up getting DSlites…due to pricing & age oriented game selection.

& the same goes for consoles…  
I bet most parents maybe 75-85% will get their kids a Wii over the other to due to the price & games.

nintendo has a broader market…tageting a wider audience = more sales.  
plus a cheaper price make people decison a lot easier.

i bet if you could pinpoint a certian niche like 25-35yr old males…i bet xbox & PS outsell nintendo. & the only reason they are in the running is due to price & the wii’s new intriguing interactive features

for adults i think its a decision on xbox or PS & then if you have an extra 250-300 you say …yeah i’ll pick up a Wii too so i can try it out.
