Forums - Sales - When will the DS ever go below 400k units worldwide?

At the rate of how it is selling I bet it only will drop below when the new ds arrives

Summer 2010 with too many Europeans watching the World Cup on TV and forgetting the important things in life.
Like buying your 5th DS or something like that.

Respectivley, it will also see similar sale drops in 2014, 2018 and so on.

^ Most likely with Nintendos 15 years plan for the DS. ;)

Indeed.

"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."

Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.

It will go down only if a new Ds is released.



 

O-D-C on 05 September 2008

the DS is the perfect combination, casual appeal plus more then enough hardcore games, so it will keep selling for a good long time.

Eventually it has to go below that; it's in the nature of consoles to decline and eventually die out. But there's no way of telling when that will be.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
