This is not a troll thread. It has been put forth by several posters that this is more or less fated not to happen, and I want to see what other people make of the situation.
Personally I have no clue how it's going to play out, and am chiefly curious to see how close the Wii will be to the DS' current number at the end of 2010.

A master of parsing unnecessary words.
Would you kindly share your reasoning? I'm curious, and actually want to get a discussion going.
Hmmm, well its interesting cause the DS is obviously doing much better than the wii in Japan, but the Wii is doing better in America and will only improve as time goes on.
So I guess my answer is that it needs to do better in Japan to have a definitive chance at it.
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."
I don't think so. The ds just has so much more potential because it is a handheld and sells to individuals whereas the wii sells to households.

...That
That is some reasoning there
I do not think it will.
The DS is the biggest thing to hit handheld gaming ever, and in the end I believe that handheld gaming has a much bigger arena to play on than console gaming. It's cheaper, more portable and doesn't really require as much emotional investment. The Wii will do outstandingly good numbers, but I think that the DS will do even better, and keep doing even better.
Yes, the Wii is tracking over the DS since launch, but I think that's partly due to a shift in attitude. Before the DS, people didn't know you could play differently. After the DS became a success, they not only knew, they wanted more. So the Wii's success is partly due to the DS already paving the way, so to speak.
This is invisible text!

Nope, handhelds usually do better, and there's that 50 million lead thing...
