Koch Media CEO comments that there's too much DS product on the market

Koch Media's CEO, Dr Klemens Kundratitz, recently spoke with GamesIndustry.biz about the current state of DS development and why he believes that the market being flooded with DS titles is a bad thing:

"We're all faced with too much casual and DS product between now and Christmas, so we're also the victim of that," he said in an interview at Game Connection in Lyon. "But I think that in spite of the economic worries we as an industry can be quite confident that we're not affected in too abrupt a way."

For me there is no such thing as too much DS product, as the little platform has turned out some of the most consistently innovative and pleasantly surprising titles on the market today, but I can see where the good doctor is coming from. I would think this issue relates more strongly to the Wii, which is choking in casual titles and definitely has a hardcore fanbase trying to wait it out until the titles that appeal to their gaming sensibilities appear.
