@Joelcool7:
In fact I wrote that 200M is possible if Ninty does all that's possible to give it a long lifecycle, that is making it available at least until XMas 2013 included. But obviously, to decide for a life so long, they'll have to evaluate how much the last cuts will boost sales first, only then they'll be able to tell whether it's feasible (and advisable).
I wouldn't be surprised though, we can be almost sure that, given the already huge and still fastly growing user base, 3rd parties will support DS still for a long time, whatever Nintendo decides, so one of the conditions to keep it alive is already very likely to happen.
Edit @HappySqurriel:
Yes, I totally agree.
