The Wii and DS are right on track to do that. It will really come down to how long they last for.

They are tracking well above the PS2 on a lifecycle basis. It depends on lifespan. Remember, doubling the installed base from 60m to 120m doesn't net you much more in terms of software sales due to userbase diversity, so Nintendo will likely replace them when software, not hardware, sales drop.

Huh? That sounds like nonsense. Explain what you mean better.

I think what he means is that at one point, game sales will slope off . This being due to such a diverse user base that not everyone will buy the game. Or, that every game has a glass ceiling. Of course, it's impossible to say for sure.
