So why would they split paths?

Money hogs or something?

Actually the need more money. Keeping two systems is good. But now they have to juggle three. I mean most people think the DS is agameboy, Those people are idiots. So they will not buy stuff for the DS or not buy the DS thinking it's not that important. People get confused easlily. I think they just need to read more stuff about these things. Or ask their gammer friends. Some gammers just don't check out stuff enough.

Well the DS IS a portable system

And it is good, I think its raw techology, like a mine ready to be cut into.
