Add Mario Bros and Pokemon already.
What else?
Zelda and Final Fantasy? Not sure at all.

I think DS software sales will slow down once PS3 and Wii are launched. Money will be diluted in too many platforms.

Exactly. Noone can deny that the DS has been an amzing success but it launched at the perfect time. It came in at the end of the consoles' lifespan. It will have had 2 years without any real console taking its money. The real test will be when the costly systems come in and people have other games to buy.

then again, if nintendo has succeeded in selling the DS to non-gamers, the ps3 launch won't have any affect on them. If anything, they will purchase a Wii AND a DS, which I don't think Nintendo will complain about one bit.

Whats amazing about the DS, and its unreal level of success in Japan(Worldwide for that matter) is that in the Super Nintendo's(Famicom) entire lifespan, Nintendo themselves had 10million sellers.

Were talking about the Super Nintendo in Japan. How long was the SFC viable in Japan? Has Nintendo almost tied that number in Japan within a 1.5 yers of the DS lifespan?

This truly is getting to insano perportions.

Nintendo had 5million sellers with the GBA
Nintendo had 10million sellers with the SFC
Nintendo had 11 million sellers with the N64
Nintendo had 18million selllers with the GB
Nintendo had 20million sellers with the FC

Can Nintendo top all of these with the DS?

So far they have;
Nintendo has 9million sellers with the DS.

JUST INSANITY.

Does Nintendo have a chnace to beat all of thierprevious records people? Do they?

They definitely have a very good chance.


And this is a nice chart for million sellers per year per system:
