    "The DS marks the death of the Game Boy line." Way to be totally depressing, Nintendo.

    The GBA was $150 when it came out?  I totally forgot about that.

    It is actually pretty interesting that more PSPs have been sold than iPhones, and WAY MORE DSs have been sold than either.  I would have thought that, as a phone that does so much more, the iPhone would have a larger audience than a (pretty much) gaming-only device like the DS or even a gaming plus media device like the PSP.  But I guess the smart phone market is pretty crowded, and there are a lot of kids out there with DSs.

    You gotta realize though  the iphone has a contract behind it, big fees and hasn't been out as long as most of these other handhelds.  
    I wasn't sure about some of the prices or timeline of a product any corrections would be helpful though.
