DS is closing in on PS1 software numbers. Will be over 800m units of sw by the end of the year, should get to near 900m by the end of 2011. Wii is actually catching up to DS pretty quickly now - had been 200m units of sw behind it less than two years ago. By the end of the year DS will be at 815m or something and Wii perhaps at 680m. I still expect both to beat PS1 sw figures (962m) but fall short of whatever ltd PS2 ends up at (probably 1550m or so). I don't think PSP is ever going to be a top-ten system for sw now - its still 100m behind the stagnant GBA which would be the easiest to pass for entry. PS3 / X360 will likely top NES in 2012 for SW - question is whether they get much beyond 650m or so for sw. I think one of them may get to 800m or so while the other stops at 600m-700m.
