DS sales are likely to be down slightly year over year but by almost nothing.
DS should be at ~95 million by the end of this year, then 117 million by the end of 2009.
Best case scenario after that would be maybe 133 million by the end of 2010, then 144 million by the end of 2011, 150 million by the end of 2012, 153 million by the end of 2013, and then ~154 million by the end of 2014.
PS2 can probably reach 130 million in sell through, but you have to remember Sony shipped 100 million PS2s in 5 years 9 months, while DS will be at 100 million shipped in a little over 4 years. DS has had the higher peak, but it remains to be seen how well it will handle the long-tail...
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
When there are more laws, there are more criminals.
