If your kids are fighting then either, teach them how to share, set rules, or take away the object, its called parenting people. If kids fight over a computer, ok kid 1 gets 1 hour on the computer and then kid 2 gets the next hour, if you guys don't cooperate and start fighting then neither of you get to use the computer for a week.
I have seen first hand how games cause frustration in children, especially in this age group, and I am not clear on whether the frustration was because she bought them 1 DS and there were multiple kids fighting over it (which will happen with any object that you bring one of into the house with multiple kids) or if the frustration was based on the fact that the game was difficult and too hard to play. My cousins don't have a problem with sharing the games and that does not cause argument but what causes argument is the actual gameplay, because its frustrating and difficult which leads to outbursts and one kid blaming another because the kid who was playing failed the level. They will randomly outburst in frustration even if one is sitting alone with the DS and something goes wrong in the game.
