The DS just cannot be stopped.  I cannot believe the numbers this thing is selling even now.  It sold 1.3 mil last week worldwide, and now it is over .5 mil before USA and Japan numbers come in.  This thing is a monster that cannot be stopped.  I thought it would start slowing down, but it seems to be steam rolling Christmas and will probably take the Christmas crown again this year.  Is there any stopping this machine.  I read some articles last week saying that the PSP could take the top spot, I think it was on CNET.  What a joke, the PSP will NEVER take the #1 spot from the DS.  Just thought I would get this off my chest for today.

"probably"? what planet are you on? DS will have sold at least 7.5 million in Nov/Dec [last 9 weeks] just like last year, there is no 'probably' about it. In fact if you scale it the same as last year it would mean over 9.5 million in the last 9 weeks. Last year for week ending Nov5 to Nov26 the DS sold 2.25million, and between w/e Nov5 and Dec30 it totalled 7.65 million. That is a multiplier of 3.4 [2.25 X 3.4= 7.65] This year DS has sold 2.85 between w/e Nov4 and Nov25. 2.85 X 3.4 = 9.69 million. I doubt it will manage that myself, but it should easily sell 8.5 million.
