Well, if Jimmy and Bobby want to play multiplayer GBA games together, they can't use a DS. Also, money speaks... $50 less is a big difference to the parents if even if their kids only want to play single player GBA games. Since if they want DS games eventually, or badly enough, they can just work for one doing their paper routes, mow lawns, or just be good kids and get straight A's.
If they want a GBA I wouldn't try to push a DS on them. A GBA sale does not mean a lost DS sale, just a delayed one, and with nearly 1 million DS sales in November you don't have to worry about the DS not selling well.

IGN seems positive on the Wii's software performance:

Sales of Wii software were quite strong, despite being released in the latter half of the month.
...
Sales of third-party games on the Wii were surprisingly solid for the month, which will hopefully bode well for the future of third-party support on the console.

Kind of dissapointing to see ExciteTruck at the bottom, I would have thought it was going to do better.
Louieturkey:
It's because everyone wanted Zelda and Red Steel first. I see Excite Truck selling better in December and beyond. Or it just might be too simplistic for people to think it's worth $50. Maybe at $30 people could justify buying it.
Mario:
Because Americans just don't like racing even when it's trucks! I'm very glad Rayman did well.
