putting things into perspective the original gameboy and gameboy color took what? 8 or 9 years to reach 111 million sales, and the GBA took 6 to top 80 million
the DS has been around for just under 3 years (it's 3rd birthday for its US release is in a few days time) andit's already topped 50 million sales. if you ask me, that's just plain incredible, and nintendo have proved for the third time that a cheaper less powerful handheld system is more popular than a handheld powerhouse.
i just find it truly outstanding, i'm amazed nintendo have managed to do this three times in a row with its handheld systems (four if you count the game and watch)
now, if they could just lower the price of the wii...
