The DS doesn't sell much software, does it.

Sure about that? 19 of top 30 titles are ds games, and those kind of numbers have been pretty typical for some time. It might only have 3 is the top ten, but I think that's far cry from poor software sales.
A look at all consoles:
psp 1
ps3 1
ps2 2
wii 7
ds 19
