At the rate the DS is selling its going to over take the PS2 later this year in Japan. I find that unbelievable. I mean the PS2 was beyond dominate in Japan for the last 6+ years and for the DS to over take it in less than 3 years just doesn't seem possible.
Do you think they can sell another 8 Mio systems this year? The 2006 holidays were weaker for the DS than the 2005 holidays. Nintendo needs some more megahits with the caliber of Brain Training and Animal Crossing. Maybe they think it's time to let 3rd parties have a go on the DS and concentrate on Wii innovation? Would sure love to see that. The DS is banked to cross the 20 Mio bar of ubiquitousness in Japan this year either way, so Nintendo can play it a little safer.
What I would still expect to see from Nintendo on the DS is some meaningful interaction with the Wii. This could be ten times better then the failed GC-GBA connection (because it's wireless and both devices are more powerful) and really give some extra fun.
You do realize that Dragon's Quest 9 hits the DS this year right?
