Will the 3ds total sales reach those of the gba before a successor is released?

I just took a look at the gap charts to find that after 35 months, the DS had sold 52M and the 3DS 41M. At this point, the 3DS is at roughly 78% sales of the DS. If the 3DS follows the trend of the DS, the 3DS will have about 119M sales lifetime. I think that this is a stretch, but it certainly helps to support the argument of those who think the 3DS will top the GBA.
