[DS]

Nintendo DS. Best selling portable gaming system of all time. Nintendo decided to stick with the cartridge format while SONY attempted to bring disk media to the masses with their [PSP]. The [DS] lacked the power of the [PSP] but the cartridge format and lower CPU clock speeds allowed the [DS] to run longer on a charge.

Once again proving battery life matters. Just a decade prior Nintendo would fight off several handheld competitors such as the Turbo Grafx Xpress, Game Gear and Neo Geo Pocket for portable supremacy. Not with a color screen, not with screen size, not with sprite count, but with battery life.
