That's a good achievement. It's a different situation. People could only play GBA when DS was released, so those who did most likely switched over, while the DS itself got a shitload of new handheld gamers. Now people aren't so gonna make a transition, when DS is still a usable console. Plus, they have a competition in Sony.

Although, if the hackers publicly break it, the sales will be enormous.

Well, IMO it's not too huge a acheivment because the Nintendo DS was completely new then and not many people trusted it, so yeah

How do you "trust" a gaming console? It wasn't completely new. It was a big advancement over GBA. What's so bad about that?

This is completely irrelevant, but nevertheless a decent achievement. Next year it has to do better.

And so, haters can now be promptly told to:

What I meant, lots of people didn't think it was a good idea, so they didn't buy it, 2nd year is usually the biggest. (Excluding New Generations of a Exsisting Product and stuff)
