The DS doesn't sell much software, does it.
Safiel @ May 16th 2008 7:08PM
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
