Let's be honest, barring the last gen and current there have never been more than 2 viable platforms in the same gen. Oh and before anyone nit-picks the whole wanting 360 to die comment.

There are roughly 128 million people in Japan, so all nintendo needs to do is to finish up the last few hundred million or so and then release a new DS. That or they can just stick with DS and totally bust out the DS-micro! It's sorta nice to see that all of the companies did well this holiday season, but I'd like to see 360 die simply because I don't think that it's proper to have to buy 3 consoles to play all of the games that come out... and well let's be honest, if any of the companies can afford to take full loss in their gaming division it's microsoft. Sorry for being horribly off topic. I would assume that it would depend on whether Nintendo releases a DS2 (dare I say it… 3 screens! j/k.)

In 17 years, the GameBoy name (Regular, Color, Pocket, Advance) sold about 195 million units worldwide. 2 years in the run and the NDS name (Regular and Lite) has almost sold 15 millions units worldwide, and that is despite a shortage of NDS Lite in Japan. makes you wonder how many units the NDS will have sold in 15 years from now?
