So, in the midst of all the Wii excitement, the Nintendo DS quietly bypassed the GameCube in total sales. Recent figures push the powerhouse DS past the 21 million units the 'Cube can claim over its entire lifetime. The news comes as no real surprise, of course. GameCube titles are being sucked away and converted to the Wii, and we hear that people sorta like the DS ... a little bit ... sometimes.What is -- and continues to be -- surprising is that the DS isn't even two years old until November. Nintendo keeps churning out new versions, changing a color here or adding a graphic there, and they're like Pokemon, man. We gotta buy 'em all. We just can't resist the siren song of the DS, and we're not even sure we want to.
