I find your schedule for the DS to be extremely flawed.

First of all, there's no way it will hit 100 million so quickly.

It's currently on 72 million, it has another 28 million to go.

If it's going to hit 100 mill it will mid-late 09.

Also, 5 mill in 2013? I'm sorry but there's no way.

The original Gameboy and the GBA had great legs (but they still didn't reach PS2 sales mind you) but they had virtually no competition.

The DS will be pretty much non-existant by 2013.


Well, the ~ represents 'approximately' and I am willing to accept that early on my total prediction can be off by as much as 5 Million units, and up to 15 Million units later in the systems life. On top of that the Gameboy Advance was never as popular as the Nintendo DS is, and it still sold over 20 Million units after the Nintendo DS launched.

Beyond that you still haven't provided an alternative schedule where the Nintendo DS doesn't make 140 Million units before the end of its life.
