DS says, "WTF is market saturation?"

 

 The DS is nowhere near market saturation.

If you say half the people in a family with Ps2 played it, that means you have over 70M potential DS owners in western Europe, and then perhaps 20M in the rest of the world (save for Americas + Japan).

More realistically though, 50M in western Europe. So the possible range for the DS varies from 60-90M I guess (Others).

 

Milestones:

X360 passes 3M in the United Kingdom! ~ 1/6 families now own it!

 

This isn't even taking into consideration the fact that the DS will eventually break over time in a lot of cases and simply be replaced by an upgraded model in others.

Again (as in the other thread) a very strong and valid point. It may be even more than 60-90M.

In Others, the DS could outsell all 3 consoles combined. I don't think it will happen, but it won't be far away from it, at least if DSi sticks for a few years before a new machine.
