They know the price of everything, and the value of nothing.

Don't worry, once they hear about the CPU being 43% slower than the other HD consoles that rating will drop right on down.

3DS and DS are essentially the same? Nintendo to advertise better to the kids.

I would never, ever, for the life of me, trust a sub-15 year old with a computer, much less gift them one.

Poor kids...Nintendo doesn't compare about your Christmas. Wait till next year when they have some more in stock or have your parents pay extortion rates.

PS3 above 360? That in itself proves the sample batch means nothing.

Computer is so vague.

19% of elementary kids want smart tv? lmao.


Actually, anyone that wants a smart tv should be sent to the orphanage.

Living in Japan, it's so hard to imagine DS's staying power in America.

Can anyone explain it? Are old games still selling well? What are people playing on it?

It's $99 and has an amazing library, much of which is available at bargain-bin prices. Same reason why PS2 and GBA kept selling well into their successors' lifespans.

I imagine this is the exact reason Nintendo isnt selling stand alone tablets at launch. by only selling it together with the system there is no way any parent can identically buy it thinking it will work on the wii.

Wow, what? I can't understand why a 5 year old would want/need an iPad.

When i was 5 i was happy running in circles and shouting at the top of my voice.
