Anyway, going on current sales, I reckon the total sales for each handheld will be at the end of the year. Nintendo DS - 58m More like 65million, I'd say. They had only shipped 40 million units through the end of March, and now sit at 43 million. That's a rate of 30 million units a year, based on doing half their business in Nov/Dec. So they should reach 50 million before the holidays, and then sell 15 million during the holidays.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
