Depends if they can get it all together, If their next hardware is a hybrid Home and Handheld unit it could sell more then the original DS did knocking of a good 157 million right there. If marketing is right that could happen by 2020. The it would take another iteration of this hybrid in the future to move them to the next level which might take another seven years or so putting them at around 2027. If the next console is not a hybrid and still remains a two tier system ,then the handheld market will be a lot stronger then the Home console market for them. In the home console only market Nintendo won't ever gain the momentum they had with Wii .. And with the 3DS at nearly the end of it's cycle and only hitting 60 million or so. I can not see Nintendo hitting DS numbers with anew handheld only. They will probably only get similar figures to 3DS as it's those owners who will upgrade. But i reckon the 3DS and Wii U have another 10 million sales left in them between them so that brings the number ever closer. But without a hybrid Handheld / Console system Nintendo may have to wait for a very long time to see the 1 BILLION MARK. With the hybrid system they could change gaming forever and surpass the 1 Billion Mark by a mile.. It's in your court Nintendo.
