Heh, give it a few weeks, and piracy isn't to blame for DS game sales - crap, short £30 games are :roll:

Yep price was too high. I've owned a few nintendo handhelds (GB Advance and 2 x DS Lite) and bought very few games for them. When it comes to the crunch I'm I'm stood in a shop with a full price DS game in one hand and an Xbox game in the other the Xbox game almost always won. I just felt like I was getting better value for money.

Yes the games can be far better value for Xbox over a handheld. That is probably a side effect of the licenses.

Yes but the cost of a cartridge cannot be so much more expensive, pence yes, but probably not much more than a pound more than a disc.
