None of the HD screenshots look worse than the original

Then maybe they should have picked up the brain training series and realise their IQ needs boosting.

And true, but DS games often launched at $29.99 and then would go up to permanent $39.99 after a month or so.
PSP games launched at $30 - $40, but devalued (like PS2 games) within a few months so you could pick them up cheaper. Sony used the PS2 strategy with the PSP. Make games cheaper after a period of time and people buy more

You said some people don't think long term regarding price, which is my statement of people needing to think logically.

And no one is saying DS games were bad. Look at the OP, I make that very clear. They COULD have been much better though, all that would have needed to change was the resolution that Nintendo doesn't care about.

And it IS true. A link I posted before shows that Super Mario 64 DS went from $30 to $40. And so did Pokemon etc. Nintendo launch games for slightly cheaper and raise the price to an "indefinite" RRP.

PSP devalued due to Sony's Platinum system, which reduced any game to $19.99 and other games that didn't go Platinum had to follow suit to be successful. That was the same with the PS2 as well.

And the DS's best selling non-first party game sold around 5 million. Nintendo were at their peak during the DS/Wii era. Sony ignored a lot of their first party franchises in the PS2/PSP era, which was a mistake on their behalf. They barely promo'd anything. It was only until the PS3 era which Sony started making big deals on first party games again.

Gameplay, not the graphics.

People are so this or that when they could have had both omg people
