Nintendo DS - A useless pile of electronics that should have never been made

One of the main things I've been doing over the past few months is keeping my skills up in the High-Tech Field. I do a lot of reading, research, and sometimes testing of most all things high-tech. One of the things I took on a test spin was the Nintendo DS. I have to admit that, on paper, this device had the potential to be something special. Wireless capabilities, double screens one of which is a touch screen blah blah blah. Anyways, I checked this device out pretty carefully and it seems that (excuse my 'French' here) this is but another useless attempt by Nintendo to repackage a pile of crap. For years they've been beating the same types games into the ground and have yet to offer anything new in the console world.

Nintendo have continuously focused their efforts on a very small market segment for years now and have yet to show some cohones and break out of this never ending cycle of 'Mario this' and 'Luigi That'. In my humble opinion, have nothing new to offer except the same pile of crap over and over again in a different package.

The final straw for me was when I was in a game store checking out a game that just came out on the DS. The object of the game was to spin a roll of toilet paper. That's it. Not long after that I got rid of my DS and will go out of my way to make sure that no one wastes their money on a Nintendo DS. I could go on and on how Nintendo dropped the ball when it came to game publishing and the lack of quality or quantity in games but I think I've made my point.
