Well, DS is going to get extremely close to 100m this holidays. I'll stand by my prediction that it will reach 100m shipments in the current quarter.
And that would be the comparable timeframe to Wii selling 100m by the end of 2010.
Even if DS only reaches 100m by the end of March, I still think that proves 100m by the prior holiday season is entirely possible.
Wii did take off faster than DS early on, so it could peak earlier, but it shouldn't matter. If it gets close to 80m by the end of 2009, it will reach 100m in 2010.
