Will Nintendo Eventually Ship 1 Billion DS Games? 2B Wii games?

No way. 2 billion is just too much. Also I expect YOY sales of the Wii to decrease because of increased competion from Sony and MICROSOFT as they start targeting more casuals.

 

 That doesn't really make sense. Even if the Wii slowed down a lot HW wise (unlikely), its software sales would still increase. The installbase would be increasing still.

Look at the Ps2's sales.

Year 0: 24.9M

Year 1: 100.3M

Year 2: 183M

Year 3: 221M

Year 4: 246M

Year 5: 227M

Year 6: 203M

 

So even though its HW sales drastically dropped, years 2-6 were generally on about the same lvl for software

 

PS: My previous ~ 1.3B for software was meant to be ~ 1.4B for software.

 

Edit: And after reading TWRoO's post, even that seems low.
