In order to sell 100M total, they have to sell 33 million more units, and they have only 11 months (counting out January)......3 million DS's per month? Currently they are seling at half of that pace. IMHO, 100million is doubtable...unless they will release new good games for DS to boost up the sales.

But for now, I'll say 95 million maximum.

u can't look at this week and say "well it's 50% of the pace it needs, so no" because of several factors

a) it is still supply constrained in many places

b) it's january, so lower sales than average week

Hmm....you do have the point. However..I looked up on sales from chosen weeks of 2007 and the DS sales went up only on several random occasion and in Holidays season which seriously boosted it up. In avarage weeks, they looked like now.

 

I am not saying that 100 million by 31/12/2008 is impossible but...highly unlikely.

We'll see what will happen in upcoming months.
