Today's pricing for the lifetime stock (about 10,600DKP or about 106 million units worldwide) is a buy because of the price dropping today.
As I have posted before, Nintendo's own estimates for lifetime sales of the DS by the end of March 2008 is about 81 million units with about 28 million sold in their 2007 financial year. Nintendo tends to usually underestimate the hardware sales of their units (as they have revised estimates higher for both the Wii and DS multiple times during both consoles lifetimes thus far). I would say that it is easily conceiveable that the DS will go on with sales into at least 2009 and probably into 2010 - even if another model is announced during that time (though I am not speculating on the possibility of this). The DS will easily be able to sell another 30 million units at least during this time leading to the lifetime stock being at least around 11,000DKP or 110 million units worldwide.
