      Ha! Yes, and I heard they will be exclusively reviewing casual games from series 6 onwards.

    Wow, the Wii sold more software than the DS? Quite strange considering Wii games are more expensive. And that is a staggering attach rate. I was expecting 5 games per hardware unit.

      Dont forget DS piracy is damn easy – who buys software when you can download it and play it on a $10 R4 card
