Good god thats a lot of systems. Hell I don't really like handhelds and I bought one.

Good job Nintendo! I really want to get a DS one of these days, but I don't know when.

I bet if you stacked all of these on top of each other you could get to the end of the universe!

I was sceptical of the DS' future when it initially came out as it wasn't very warmly received here in Australia. The Advance would go on selling a lot more units and even getting a lot more new releases while the DS had to share a small part of the Advance section in shops.

When the PSP came out, stores loved it, and we got to see it's section eat up other sections with one store cutting it's PC section in half so the PSP could use the rest.

Now however despite it's slow start, it looks like things are finally falling into place.
