The advertising for the DS has been very heavy, in comparison :D.
Another thing, the DS has had these very... well to me they are still mentally offensive "Go on, touch me, it's okay." things, but for some reason I think it'll actually get people buying them...
And the GBA, well, thanks to Square-Enix, that'll be selling pretty well this season as well. I've been seeing Kingdom Hearts commercials EVERY SINGLE COMMERCIAL BREAK. Now, it seems it actually supports custom borders when played on the Gameboy Player from the commericals... I've also seen a lot of Final Fantasy 1&2 commercials. They are classic "who are you?" affair, as opposed to some aloof person in the background talking about "the legend" while showing off the story aspects of the game (with some dramatic music in the background) like we expect from Final Fantasy commercials. I'm sure Square's advertising people will yell at Nintendo's guys for that :D.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
