This week sees the review of the newest Nintendo DS update, news that Sony wants you to buy a PS2 (so you'll buy a PS3), and the news that Dungeons and Dragons rule books are being pirated, causing the company to pull all the digital files from online stores. Let's see what people are talking about in the world of gaming.

The toy that roared: Ars reviews the DSi: Nintendo has launched a new entry into the Nintendo DS line, with two cameras, media functions, and a new, slimmer case. While the hardware additions may be used in upcoming games, the real draw is DSiWare, Nintendo's new portable digital distribution service. Our review of the hardware, as well as the new features, is here.

Sony: PS2 is the gateway drug to the PS3: Ars talks to Sony about the continued success of the PS2 hardware, as well as its recent price drop. Sony believes that the PS2 will only stop selling if the company stops supporting it, and that it eventually will lure more buyers to the PS3.

Nielsen: PS2 is trending down, card games dominate PC gaming: The newest Nielsen report about gaming habits shows that PC card games are huge time-sinks, and PS3 gamers aren't very interested in television. More trends, including the surprising PC game with most minutes played a week, are explored in our breakdown.

More overview at source.
