The DS basically sold a million units a month. Unreal. And it looks to surpass the PS2 as the most sold console ever. Wow.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

HOW CAN THERE BE ANYONE ALIVE THAT DOESN'T ALREADY OWN A FUCKING DS?

I saw a homeless guy, with his sign next to him requesting money for food, playing a DS last Wednesday on my way to work, here in Philly. No joke. Fucking people without homes have DS'.

I don't have a DS but i want to get a Wii but every store in my state, CT, is sold out, its nuts

seriously re think the wii. my 9 and 6 year old dont even play it anymore. i also been watching reviews of the systems new releases and its rare to see any game get a 9 or higher now. Last one was rock band beatles which isnt an exclusive

I really don't get it. Even casual gamers ignore it now. My nephew plays the PS2 now that he learned to use the controller (he's 5). It's really a shit system, to be honest.

I actually enjoy the wii but pretty much just the good exclusives. Super mario galaxy, metroid, and zelda is just about it. Well super smash bros too, but outside of that the wii doesnt have much to offer.

Personally, I'm so sick of those games and the fact that Nintendo seemingly gets a pass for not coming up with an original idea since the late 80's. It's unreal.

I do agree with this statement though. Although i do enjoy them they need to put more effort into making these titles. I think they know that they are going to sell well regardless so they end up cutting corners alot.
