I've learnt over the years that when they lash out like that it's because the punishment is working. He's realised you're not going to give up easily so he's pushing you further in order for you to give in so he can get what he wants - in this case his DS.
It's very hard to hear the 'i hate yous' and 'you're means' but you're doing a great job! Keep going
I've just read other replies, I wouldn't talk to him about his behaviour just yet. When it's time to give his DS back have a chat to him about why he thinks he lost it and how hurtful what he says is and discuss strategies to avoid him losing it again etc.
