You might think that Nintendo pretty much holds complete dominance over the US market, but
according to Nintendo exec and part-time cult leader Cammie Dunaway, the Big N is not dominant
enough. Nintendo wants the Wii and the DS Lite to work together in a bid to crush American spirits and get its hardware into every home.
"We think that there’s huge untapped potential for the DS Lite," stated the woman who can bend light with her smile. "Because when you’ve got only one in every five households in the U.S., compared to one in every two in Japan, it says there’s potential."
"You’ve seen some of the work we’ve done this year with celebrities, that we’re bringing a lot of new consumers in to the DS. So I think there’s opportunity for both of them to coexist for some period of time."
I do love the wording of that: Only one in five, as if that's a pathetic amount. Out there somewhere, a PSP marketing executive is shaking his fist and shouting "LIMITED SYMPATHY!"

RE: the story- Reggie said something similar with regards to why the DSi isn't yet coming to America despite Neil Diamond's ardent wishes. DS Lite sales have slowed in Japan while penetration (lol) in the US hasn't reached a saturation point yet.
Also, my mates on another forum drew the comparison between Cammie and Sarah Palin and I shuddered. It's too good of a comparison for comfort.
JIMMY FTW!!!
If you want to play PC games, you have to go with Microsoft.
If you want to play console or handheld games you'll have to go with Nintendo.
Terrifying indeed.
Honestly, what keywords did you use for Google Image Search?
Wouldn't YOU like to know?
PDA's A device everybody Who is with it has had at least one of for years and does the exact same thing as the DS and more but better and faster.
I mean really who does not own at least 1 pda by now? even my old one from over 5 years ago can pump out DS like stuff and run gameboy and NES emulators and crap.
