People care because if the system tanks, they stop getting games for it. When PS2 came out and killed Dreamcast, I couldn't help wondering about the games we could have had, if the DC had been able to live out a normal console lifespan.
that comment of mine was more aimed towards fanboys who seem so intent on shutting down specific systems just for the sake of shutting down specific systems
although personally, I really don't care if the DS tanks or not, because by the time it does (
if it does), I'm sure it will have a decent library of games that I felt warranted the purchase of the system
I felt the same way about the N64 - most certainly a lackluster system, but there were a few great games out for it, and after it was all said and done, I certainly didn't feel cheated for purchasing the system (most of that was due in part to Goldeneye... ah, the memories)

Beyond the fact that it's all about what kind of game you enjoy, we haven't even seen screenshots of some of the DS games being brought up, like Castlevania. People are assuming it will be great, but...who knows, it might not be
exactly, which is why it's basically pointless to argue which is better at this point (actually... I find it pointless to argue which system is better at any point, but at least later down the line, you have something to go on, instead of making blind assumptions on games you haven't even seen or played yet)
I guess you can go straight to the graphics as being a selling point... but really, the DS' graphics aren't bad, they're just
not as good as the PSP's - but if graphics make a system for you? then hey... congratulations, I guess your purchasing choice will be an easy one
I don't know... I always just found system wars, and the people on message boards whow perpetuate those wars, to be pretty stupid - granted that stuff isn't as rampant here as it is in some other places, but there's most certainly a little of it floating around, and I just don't get why people would even bother to argue about two systems future at this point, so early in their life
