Nobody could have predicted how well the DS would do, back when it launched in March 2005. Indeed, SPOnG remembers well the number of cynical games journalists at the time who dismissed the machine as a mere gimmick.

Interestingly, there seems to be far fewer ’Wii naysayers’ surrounding the launch of Nintendo’s new home console in the US this month (and in Japan and Europe in early December). Perhaps they are scared of Nintendo and its legions of hardcore fanboys making them eat their words once again.
