I don't regret getting a 360 and I spend a good deal of time on it but to be honest, I think the DS is more fun than the home consoles. When you want to mellow out and relax, especially after a long day, the DS is the perfect platform. It's meant for non-committal pick up and play. Whereas with a PS3 or 360, it's more of a commitment. I think this is how the Japanese are seeing things maybe. And it's also possible that the DS reminds me of the 8-bit and 16-bit era, which reminds me of happier, carefree times of childhood. |
