Forums - Nintendo - Will Ds break amazing 90million this year?

kingofwale on 12 March 2008

I've learned to never bet against DS. In one hand, it's very possible it will hit 90 million, on the other hand, you see places like Japan where it looks like DS has hit saturation point already.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

My prediction is 91 million. Next year, it will surpass the GameBoy and PS2 to become the best-selling console of all time.

True dat.

Last year it managed an astounding 29 million.

This year it should have slowed down (mostly in Japan) but it isn't unreasonable to expect 25 million, which would put it over 90 million LTD.

I suppose it mostly depends on what numbers Japan can manage for a single platform, after all DS is arguably the most owned platform there now (200k behind by VGC... but I think MC has it past already) that is if you split GB from GBC (which you should really, considering one couldn't play the games of the predecessor)
