Advantages: Everthing about this console is brilliant. Never had a problem with it

Disadvantages: If you have one of the "Big" consoles some games are a let down

When the Nintendo DS was released I didnt really have much interest in it as I am more a fan of the larger games consoles like XBox or PS3 but I was bought a Nintendo DS as a gift and I must admit that thinking about it now I wish I'd bought myself one earlier. As a lover of technology I was amazed at how far the Nintendo DS has come on in terms of technology from the Gameboy Advance. It is basically a whole new concept from Nintendo.
Undoubtadly the best part about the Nintedo DS is the dual touch screen technology which just staggers me as to how it works. The idea of interacting with a stylus makes it a new kind of gaming experience. You arent simply just sat holding a console or controller and just mindlessly pressing buttons, the DS allows you to think and interact with the games.
There is a very impressive amount of games available on the DS, some of which are "shrunk" versions of the larger titiles for the larger consoles and there truly is a game for everyone.
To example the wide spread appeal of the DS I can tell you that I (Aged 20) my mum (aged 46) my grandad (Aged 72) and 2 of my cousins (Aged 21 and 24) all own Nintendo DS. It truly is the console for evrybody.

Summary: The console for everyone and very reasonably priced due to the release of the DSI
