@lstormy10, You make good points about Mario Party 8, but I don't think MP8 will correlate with MPDS. Its a different user base, mostly (the Wii has an older install base), the specialty stores that I survey aren't pushing it in the same way they are other DS games (more the "classics", NSMB, Mario Kart, etc), and I think that the 4 players off of 1 card is going to kill sales. Party games may work on DS, but I don't think that a rehash of a game that a lot of kids (the target audience) already have on Wii is going to sell well. This future can go as high as it wants to, I'll be betting a lot of money that it comes in under 35DKP.
