I imagine that in Japan the DS will once again destroy all competition in its path the moment Dragon Quest IX is unleashed.

I don't think the drop in DS hardware demand has anything to do with PSP or any other console. The fact of the matter is, the DS lite has reached its maturity stage and is approaching its decline stage. This is why they're coming up with limited edition packages and new colors (Europe) - to try and boost their sales by attracting new customers or to get existing customers to buy more.

I don't know about hardware sales, but software sales depends on the quality of the games more than any saturation point analysis IMO.
If everything is shovelware, like Hell's Kitchen DS, then yes, software sales will decline. OTOH, if the games are good, they will sell. For example, if Nintendo ever found a way to sucessfully port Smash Bros. Brawl to the DS (which will never happen IMO), it would sell like hotcakes (irregardless of any saturation point for software). Ditto for Pokemon Platinum (which I will buy).
IMO, the higher gas prices has a bigger effect on sales, here in North America, than any "saturation point". Higher gas prices cut into disposable income, which effects all consumer buying.
Peace.
