This little system saved my gaming soul last year:
And this year, it is the single largest selling videogame console.
Via Game|Life:
Nintendo of America says that it has sold over 6 million of the systems through November 30, at a rate of one every five seconds.
Four DS games, all from Nintendo, have sold over 2 million units in the U.S.: New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart DS, Pokemon Diamond, and Super Mario 64.
Nintendo added that all four versions of its breakout hit virtual-pet software Nintendogs have sold over 1 million units each.
Think about it. One every five seconds. I heart the DS. My favoritest Game console. Remind me to tell you how it saved my gaming soul, though.

I dunno dude. The DS saved my gaming soul because I was sick and tired of the usual games coming out every year. Along comes the DS with its old school gaming ethic, and the mandate to churn out games that focus more on the sheer joy of gaming than anything else.
Borow it from me and see if you like what you see.

I like the Mario Kart game because it is more challenging as you get to the next level.”:-
