DS software sales are around 70M in Japan only. Japan DS hardware sales account for about 40% of world-wide DS hardware sales. Assuming Japan accounts for 40% of world-wide software DS sales, the DS is at 176M software sales world-wide so far. DS software sales were 460K in Japan and 340K in North America this week. NA and Japan account for just under 70% of world-wide hardware sales so assuming they account for 70% of software sales, the DS sold 1.17M software this week. At this rate, the DS would need another 14 years to sell one billion units of software. Factoring in holidays, it might take only 12 years. As you can see, I made a ton of assumptions, so this won't be very accurate at all. Anyway, I definitely don't think the DS will last that long, so no, no system will sell one billion units of software this generation.
If we're only talking about consoles only, then definitely, definitely not. The Wii's lifespan is limited by it's lack of power and the other consoles... suck.
