[moozxy]

hey guys

i'm currently doing a project for school and I have to compare anything in where I live (wales, UK) with anywhere else.

Well i'm doing it on the popularity of the Nintendo DS compared with other handheld consoles.

So if any of you live in Japan and would like to help me please email me at

The DS is extremely popular. I see them everywhere, and almost everyone who doesn't have one seems to want one. The PSP has a pittance market share in comparison, but I do spot them on the train from time to time.

I just bought a DS today. They sell out in no time! I was going to get one last week, but they were all sold out. As it was, the black ones were all sold out when I got mine, so I settled with a white one. Its battery is charging this very moment!

Ah-ha! So that's what's going on! Yeah, you're all right now. I wasn't too sure about you before, but I think you're okay after all. :-p
