From a vendor point of view, I can assure you that DS sells 2:1 or better over poser. I release products (not here at renderosity) and DS hands down beats poser in sales. Now, if Poser had a free version for people to pick up on, maybe a limited "render" only version without all the bells and whistles, Poser might pick up a larger share of the market as I firmly believe it is way easier to use than DS and with Firefly renders, you don't have to wait hours and hours for a final render.
