The DS numbers include 3DS, and Nintendo may cut prices. Plus new Pokemon titles could boost sales in Japan.
The way I see it, 'old' DS model shipments will be 25m minimum, 28m max, with the remaining 2-5m being 3DS, depending on when/in what markets 3DS launches in this financial year.
Wii sales do seem to be low for me, but Nintendo are often conservative in their numbers. I personally see Wii sales being flat year over year, or even slightly up to around 21 million. Of course, there are numerous factors with effects that can't be anticipated yet. My prediction of Wii shipments of up to 21 million is based on current momentum generated by price cuts, NSMB Wii etc lasting till the September period (being augmented (particularly in North America) by Galaxy 2/Metroid releases), and the big HD hardware add ons/software line up for Q4 having little if any impact on Wii sales. I also believe Galaxy 2, Metroid, the new Wii series title, Zelda and Last Story in Japan to help maintain Wii momentum.
