This is kind of interesting to me... it's not a big market watch but it is something that I can verify. The people in my office are all hard core gamers. I took a poll to see what people have and currently there are 2 360s (with no plans to buy more), 2 Wiis (with four people planning to buy one), 1 PS3 (with only one person planning on buying one) and 14 DS lites (with two more people planning to buy after Christmas).
In my office, the DS lite outnumbers the three new consoles almost three to one. We regularly have Mario Kart DS races and Bomberman DS throwdowns during breaks. It's looking like Tony Hawk is going to be a regular now that I've discovered that it totally rocks (I was expecting it to play horribly but it plays very well).
Is it fair to count a handhelds sales in numbers against the three consoles?
Does it really matter as long as people have games to play that they enjoy?

Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
