In its fiscal year report released earlier today, Nintendo withheld a forecast for DS unit sales through March 31, 2014. Considering that even the Wii received a new yearly target, the logical assumption would be that Nintendo is about ready to send the feisty portable off into the sunset.  

While no one expects the DS to continue for all that much longer, especially since the software well has all but dried up, Nintendo does not have any immediate intention of retiring the device. In speaking with Destructoid, a Nintendo rep stated, "Nintendo will continue to sell Nintendo DS Hardware but is not revealing a unit sales forecast at this time." Sounds pretty straightforward to me, but you never know.  

Besides, the DS still has one last score to settle. According to the FY13 report, the portable's current worldwide total is 153.87 million units. The last number we had for the PS2 when Sony finally ceased production hovered around 155 million. All DS has to do is sell another 2 million and it will achieve complete game hardware godhood. Is such a feat possible!?

Did not DS already outsold PS2?
Anyway its selling 20k every week, how in the hell would they stop production?

why stop selling somthing that sells without any marketing back up? i say keep it.... it doesnt hurt the 3ds those people will buy 3ds anyways before the end of the 3ds cycle... they are the super late adopters

Makes sense, theyve got to be making a ton of profit off each unit sold

Shut up, pezus. It's over.

As a quiet observer of the many many threads and arguments this references, you sir play4fun just made me actually laugh out loud. 

I would say 150 million is enough to be recognized a game hardware godhood. Seeing as only two consoles have managed it.

Lol!

I believe that the DS outsold the PS2. And that is the only right way. You must believe too or you will be sent to Gaming Hell.

(I'd imagine that dropping down production, but still making them, is probably a good idea.)

I think with no figures we could finally have the DS higher than PS2.
