Analyst fail.

Great, they propose doing what most systems already allow informed parents to do. Nice job flogging an industry that has already responded to the 'threat' to children for some political posturing points, however. Maybe someday somewhere there will be a legislator who actually uses technology created in this century.

I don't know if this "analyst" should be trusted. Did WiiWare (or any of the other digital distribution services on the other consoles) cut noticeably into console software sales? It seems a bit specious to say that just because some users will be able to buy Brain Age online that Best Buy's sales are doomed. The percentage of people who are even able to get their existing DS online is probably a small fraction of overall DS owners. And if this online store is only accessible with a new DSi, then that's an even ~smaller~ number of potential lost sales to Best Buy. I'm thinking the battered stock market is responsible for the downturn in BB stocks, and this 'analyst' needs to look at some numbers regarding connectivity and online sales to back his assertions up when he's shooting off at the mouth.
