I'm sure that devices such as the R4 and M3 have a negative impact on the number of games being sold. However, I also think that these same devices will lead people to buy a DS that normally wouldn't. In the end, what may result in lower game sales may lead to higher hardware sales. I guess someone will have to do an official study. Just remember that those that only buy a DS because of the R4, M3, etc... wouldn't have bought games anyway.

These are impresive numbers for Australia but i have a feeling Australia will have bigger numbers for ps3 and and xbox 360 because Australian gamers in my book are more high end hardcore gamers and prefer top end gaming.
