Apparently Call of Duty 4 has done almost 500,000 on DS after debuting to sales 36,000 in month one (November 2007)
GTA: DS did 89,000 in a single month. Now for a DS game it could be relatively front loaded, but if it gets to anything close to reaching a lifetime total 14 times higher than its launch month total, it has to be considered a slow burning, long term hit.
It could easily do something like this in the Americas in 2009:
Mar ~ 100k
April ~ 80k
May ~ 60k
June ~ 40k
July ~ 30k
Aug ~ 25k
Sept ~ 25k
Oct ~ 20k
Nov ~ 30k
Dec ~ 50k
