3DS will win, even if Nintendo have to stop manufacturing DS's, and lower the price of the 3DS drastically.

They won't stop selling the DS anytime soon.  Not with how well it continues to sell, even with the 3DS out.  I say there will be at least another 1 1/2 - 2 years with the DS on the market.  I also think Nintendo will at least wait til after the holiday season to lower the price of the 3DS, just to see how well it sells at max profit and how well the NGP does.

Agreed on price, but they've already stopped producing the DS lite, so I wouldn't put it past them.

Well, Nintendo stopped producing the DS Lite for the same reason Sony stopped production on the PSPGo, it wasn't selling well.  If you look at Media Create's numbers for Week 4/18-4/24, the PSPGo sold only 265 units, while the DS Lite only sold 283 units.  Both Sony and Nintendo decided both consoles weren't worth the extra hassle and money to produce and ship them.
