I think they can if they...

1. Lower the price

2. Introduce a new way of using the DS

3. Focus on releasing new major titles

What do you guys think?

Yes. They could probably sell more if they lowered the price. The real question is would they make more money? At this point having a larger install base isn't going to have a large effect on software sales. If the DS averaged 40k/week sales in Japan this year I think that would still be very healthy. For such a mature market most of the action is going on in the software side.

I don't think DS will have a price cut, Simply because it doesn't call for such desperate measure, every penny cut is a penny of profit Nintendo will lose

They will probably bring out a few new colours and it will sell like hotcakes again.

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