How long will the "DS" line last?

[WigglerWhoopinWarrior135]

Per. (Per basically means ditto, or agreed.)

Have you seen the new nintendo power issue? it highlights it`s best features...

"i accent s features"!?!?

It's not "it`s features", it's "its features"! Use your brain!

AGHHHHH NOT A GRAMMER LESSON!!!!!

 

[ShyGuy27]

Actually you could probably use a grammar lesson.

 

[YamiHoshi]

There should be a Grammar Lesson thread, I see. (￣.￣")

IMO 3ds is in the ds line, it has differant games but it is still a ds, like A GBA is part of the gameboy line, GBA to ds was a big step, 3DS is a ds, unless they do somthing wacky with the next console and has not got DS in its name,it is still a ds full stop.

What you say, is like saying "NES, SNES, Gameboy, and Gamecube are part of the "E" line, because they all have an "E" in their name".

 

[Nathan Fielder]

DS is two words that you wouldn't put together usually. You'd hardly ever see it anywhere else.

no
gb,gbc and gba are all part of the same line, they have differant games and have differances but nothing drastic then they added another screen and the menu what was a massive step and made a new generation.
3ds is a dsi with differant games and 3d, the 3d is like adding coulour from gb to gbc, they are the same line so therefore the 3ds is part of the ds line, when they do somthing mad again like gba to ds then another generation of consoles will start.

>>Legend of Lily
It's the handheld line, like Nintendo would call it.

 

[ShyGuy27]

DS is two words that you wouldn't put together usually.

(Probably because it's not two words.)

 

[YamiHoshi]

>>Herr Shyguy
"Development System" and later on "Dual Screen".
Yes, it's 2 words.

 

[ShyGuy27]

It stands for two words. There's a difference.

This proves me right:

What? Another version of the DS? Come on Nintendo, that's got to be the fifth now...
Nope, that's not the case. Despite the 'DS' in the name, the 3DS is not actually another version of the DS like the Lite, DSi and DSi XL were. This is a completely new system. Here's a better way to sum it up:

First gen - Game Boy / Game Boy Pocket
Second gen - Game Boy Color
Third gen - Game Boy Advance / SP
Fourth gen - DS / DS Lite / DSi / DSi XL
Fifth gen - 3DS

It's part of the "DS" line. End of story.

Do not argue or I will castrate you.

Their point was that it's not another DS remake. Your point is moot.

 

[YamiHoshi]

>>Herr Shyguy
That's the point we were talking about.
So it isn't moot at all.

 

[ShyGuy27]

Um, no. What we're talking about is a continuation of the DS line, not whether or not it's another DS remake.

 

[Garlic Man]

I wish we could delete the whole argument about whether it is a DS or not, because I clearly stated at the beginning of the thread that the topic is to be discussed on the premise that the 3DS is part of the DS line.

back on topic
dont deleate it, I will lose posts and it will be even longer before I become giga bowser/chatty cathy

Until they release the VDS (Virtual DS), it fails horribly, they release a DSA (DS Advance) line and the creator dies.

Yep...

 

[Koopayoshi]

The DS is probably going to last 1 or 2 more years and the 3DS is going to last 5 or 6 years
