The NDS sells so high because they sell to more than just gamers. I'd even go so far as to say that most of the ones that are sold are not to hardcore gamers, but to casual gamers, girls, and small children. Why? because it's a system that caters to casual gamers.

2. Easy to pick up and play
3. Stylus eliminates the need to learn difficult controls
4. Most of the games are directed towards girls and small children. I know there are some more 'mature' games, but the majority of the games on the DS ARE overly-simplistic and cute-injected games.


When I see a hardcore gamer in Japan (I watch japanese TV and news), they usually have a PSP in their hands, but now I'm beginning to see girls playing pink DSs in subways and parks.
