At this point, who cares? Uninformed people, I guess....with the 3ds coming out with backwards compatibility, these systems will be obsolete. Most people who have wanted a DS already have one, and those that do, should just wait a little bit and get a 3DS.

that's what people said about ps2 to PS3 and the ps2 was outselling PS3 at the beginning.

DS will be the best selling game system of all time now. It's selling like hotcakes still and this was done probably to make sure they break the record set by ps2.
