Will the Wii LTD sales ever top DS LTD sales?

It has a 10 million lead on DS for this point in its' life--I'd say it has a chance.

The interesting thing is that the Wii and the DS are following exactly the same path, but it's taking a bit longer for Wii because consoles are a 'bigger deal' in general.

-Both have always sold phenomenally
-Both had large droughts of quality software at the beginning (around a year for the DS, and it looks like Wii's will be slightly longer than two years), followed by tons of third-party support and lots of hits.
-Big third-party franchises have been pulled from other places to land on them, like Dragon Quest IX and X and Monster Hunter Tri
-While both did have one huge core Nintendo game at launch (Mario 64 DS/Zelda: Twilight Princess), both originally targetted more casual gamers (with Brain Age/Nintendogs/Wii Sports/Wii Fit) and then started getting tons of third-party support.

If this continues, Wii will not only be dominant saleswise, but the dominant console for quality games. Sure, you just chuckled a bit and called me a fanboy in your mind as you started reading this sentence, but just look at next year's list and the massive improvement from this year. Do you honestly think quality is going to drop back down?

The difference between the Wii and the DS' situation is that the Wii has competition that can sell some serious software. However, with the major costs of HD development becoming too much to bear (R.I.P. Midway, Free Radical, and Factor 5), new (currently-unannounced) efforts are surely going to be more focussed on the Wii very soon. It won't be extremely lopsided, as the DS' main competition sells hardly any software, but it'll be memorable indeed.
