“It’s a tough market. We had a lot of product, and the average quality of a game on DS and Wii is very, very bad. So in the mind of the consumer today, to buy a DS or Wii game is to buy a game that isn’t very good. One of the reasons the DS collapsed is piracy, it is very clear, but also it is a fantastic machine and very easy to develop for. It was possible for three kids in a garage to make a game for it. DS is the most successful platform ever, but all my kids’ friends at school have a DS with an R4. They have 100 games for no money. So yes, the market has collapsed for the DS and Wii.” – Namco Bandai’s VP of sales, marketing and publishing Olivier Comte

Piracy has been a huge issue on the DS and has had a pretty blatant affect on game sales. You can be sure that Nintendo will be looking to cut down on piracy with the 3DS.
