Yikes......in the last 5 years, we've had PS2, Xbox, GC, GBA, and GBA SP.

I take this news with a grain of salt.....the launch was quite lacklustre, and according to Infernal, lotsa people (including him, mario and hybrid) have had their DS break down.
If it IS true, then geez......well done Ninty....I guess...lol =/

I saw a hilarious fat kid with a DS today, I was all 'LOL he's so fat'. Then I returned my second faulty DS for a perfect working one (finally!)

This is important, you see. For I have NEVER seen anybody in public with a GBA. Seriously.

That's not what I meant Berto but.........yeah  

owate, didn't the GC start off well, and then the Xbox came out of nowhere KABOOMED onto scene with its large unruly tentacles?   NAL figures "woah, we get a record first day without having to advertise, this will be eaaaaaasssssy sailing" as they sit back, drink chocolate milk, and watch sales plummet.  *high five*

I shouldn't complain about NAL, they've been good to me ^_~ arrgh my eye

Now watch as NAL pat themselves on the back for a job well done and stop advertising and DS will have the same userbase in 5 years as it does now!
