[QUOTE="NorthlandMan"][QUOTE="me2002"]The problem with your analogy is that both handhelds are intrinsically different. The DS had a slow start as developers have only recently started making an effort with the machine. As such the DS in a far stronegr position with regards to dev support now than the GBA wever was. Also the DS is still aliveI was comparing DS's games to GBA's in the same amount of time after launch incase you didn't get that.
I was also talking about now, not the future.

The GBA had an impressive start but tailored off after a few years. Devlopers tended to use it as a dumping ground for ports (as did Nintendo). The GBA is for all intents and purposes dead
The DS will last longe, the Ds is more successful, the DS has better third party support, the DS has better first party support. The DS wins
If its got better 1st and 3rd party support it sure is not showing it.
This might improve in the future but no one can see the future.
You see strong 1st and 3rd party. I see devs (including nintendo) cashing in on carp games. I'm not gonna argue with you because its obvious we're not gonna see the other's point of view.
better 1st party support = About 96 titles
better third party support = loads of Squareenix games, 14 capcom titles, new exclusives from EA and Ubisoft, Bioware, Mistwalker, Namco etc
an ANYONE who calls Dragon Quest 9, Zelda PH, Contra 4 and Ninja Gaiden "poor cash ins" is a disgrace to gaming
