Nintendo just released numbers for sales of the Gameboy Advance, both hardware and software, and it turns out that we Americans are responsible for an overwhelming proportion of GBA profits. Nintendo clearly has figured out the formula for getting us to keep buying stuff by continuously improving upon and releasing new models of their handheld systems. And while GBA games don't sell new anymore, from personal experience I can state that they still sell like crazy used, thanks agains to Nintendo's smart strategy of putting the GBA port in the DS (although the DSi will say goodbye to that benefit). Sony wishes it could keep up with its iterations of the PSP but for now Nintendo is clearly the boss in the handheld market.Hardware
