Will the DS make 70% marketshare?

Let's just say Nintendo and Sony's next handhelds come out at roughly the same time. At that point, I'd expect PSP sales to nosedive and DS sales to remain pretty high a few years into the new cycle. Only winning consoles have ever had the momentum to last into new cycles.

So PSP will continue to gain marketshare on DS for the immediate future, but eventually DS will make marketshare back. Whether it makes it above 70% is anyone's guess.

Of course, if the next Nintendo handheld comes out a year or more before the next Sony one, DS might never start gaining marketshare again. But does anyone really see that happening? Outside of the Japan turnaround, PSP is running on steam. Every several months some publisher slams the system. I'm not saying they'll do it in the next 18 months, but Sony should be ready to reboot PSP before Nintendo moves on from DS.

It all depends on how Nintendos next handheld will be . Who knows , maybe if the pricetag will be less then 20$ different ( ex: 100$ vs. 120$ ) the DS2 could kill of sales fast . Especially if Nintendo will not push the older system IMO . But yeah , it will probably have longer sales then the PSP ...
