I'm waiting for DS to gain momentum, as it's definitely a far cry from GBA outside Japan, though to be fair, GBC had faded more than GBA has. This year should be a lot stronger than last, though. As for Japan, I wouldn't be surprised if it starts to fade (to some extent) within the next year. The simple issue of market saturation prevents it from selling at this pace for much longer. Its total sales are impossible to predict. No telling what Nintendo will do. They could release a DS2 in 3 years, or they could stretch the current one for another 10. Agreed that PSP has no chance of taking the portable market, nor should it have been expected to, but they've cracked into it nicely. If Sony can get 35-40% from what used to be a monopoly in 5 years, that's a major success. Microsoft needs to start thinking about Xbox Portable soon.
