So the DS and Wii finally outsold the Gameboy and NES

Well it's about time imo. The DS is perhaps the best gaming system of all time, and unless you care very much about graphics, the best of this generation imo. with a plethora of quality games, and tons of support (mostly from Japan when it comes to AAA titles though) from publishers.

The wii, well I wish publishers stopped treating it like shit. only publishing crappy games on it and refusing to make a true investment in wii development.

I disagree. The DS is great. But the GBA is the best handheld of all time. It was forward thinking (the graphics on many GBA titles still amaze me) and was smart enough to keep the backwards compatibility of the Game Boy and GBC which gave it an gigantic instant library of amazing titles.

um how is graphics forward thinking? and the DS has both better graphics, and while it doesn't have game boy BC it has GBA BC. and a touch screen (and a mic for those few games that use it well)

you mis-understand me. The graphics are amazing for when the handheld was released. Obviously the DS has better graphics. It's newer and has more "engine under its hood." I was just stating that the GB/GBC/GBA library is so impressive that it's hard to call any other handheld "The Best Of All Time."

I think at this point we all got the joke without you actually saying "Kanye."

haha, it'd be like you saying "Is that your final answer?" and then adding "/Regis" at the end. :)

Not really, because you didn't word it like it was said except for the "of all time" end, so it wasn't a COMPLETELY obvious reference.
