The Nintendo DS and i

Abstract:
The Nintendo DSi marks the third iteration of Nintendo's popular handheld since its original release in 2004. Seeing as over 100 million units of the Gameboy's dual-screened little brother have been shipped worldwide, chances are you already have one. Is it worth it to shell out $169....

Apparently, this person knows nothing about Nintenod portable hand held systems. The Game Boy dual screen doesn't exist. There's the Game Boy series which feature Game Boy, Game Boy Pocket, Game Boy Light (only in Japan), Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance Sp, and Game Boy Micro. Those all combined sold just over 200 million- slightly before the DS' 100 million, so it didn't get the fanfare it deserved. The NINTENDO Dual Screen is the system that has sold 100 million, and is on its third version now. Like I told people when the Nintendo DS came out, it is NOT A GAME BOY! True, it played Game Boy Advance games, but so did Super Nintnedo and GameCube- those two systems were NOT Game Boy's either. The DS is mistakenly called a Game Boy by those who know nothing about Nintendo or its systems.

Hey J.C., if you read it correctly, dual-screened is used as a descriptive word, not as a noun. The Game Boy came first, then the DS, so it's like the DS is its little brother. Which is dual-screened. He doesn't write that the Game Boy is dual screened or that the DS is the next iteration of the Game Boy. How about you take a little time to read the story properly before dismissing someone's knowledge on the subject.
