I've said for a long time it will have shipped 100M by the end of the year. It will be in Nintendo's January earnings report.
Last year, people were saying 2007 would be DS's "peak" year in America and Europe, but it is slightly ahead of 2007 in America and obviously waaay ahead in Europe. It has already sold 8.28M this year in "others," while it "only" sold 11.69M all of last year, according to VGC.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
