At the start of the current fiscal year Nintendo expected to ship 28 million DS consoles, while they shipped just over 70 million up until then. Considering they managed to ship almost 7 million units in Q1 the 28 million seems a bit low for the whole fiscal year. But even if they eventually end up shipping 30-32 million units this fiscal year they'll only end up shipping 100-102 million at the end of March 2009. This causes me to expect DS to reach 100 million sellthrough somewhere in March-April 2009 and for the end of 2008 it will probably be close to 95 million.
