Both the Nintendo DS and the Nintendo 64 were memorable gaming systems that many people still cherish to this day.  While both the Nintendo DS and the N64 bring back a sense of nostalgia to retro gamers it would be tough for them to choose on which on was better over all.  In terms of sales the Nintendo DS managed to sell over 154 million units worldwide while the Nintendo 64 had managed to reach over 32 million.  

While the Nintendo DS sold more than the N64 its debatable on whether or not it was more popular.  When the N64 was first released in the mid 90’s it was very since it was the first ever 64-bit game console that the world has seen.  In terms of availability it seems like the Nintendo DS has been retail long along with the fact that the console had more games overall.  There games such as Super Mario 64, MRio Kart 64, GoldenEye 007, Zelda Majora’s Mask, Perfect Dark and others that sold millions on the N64.  But on the Nintendo DS we had titles such as Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, HeartGold, SoulSilver, Diamond along with Mario and Zelda games that people would spend their money on without thinking twice about it.  The fact companies such as Microsoft and Sony went beyond 128 bit gaming in the 00’s in some way made the 64 bit Nintendo DS very popular.  In fact the Nintendo DS sold more than the PSP did in the 00’s.
