Ummm wasn't dragon quest 8 on PS2. Doesn't PS2 have a bigger install base than the DS. hell isn't the PS2 the highest selling single console to date.

Yes, this is true. However:

1) We're only talking about Japan. That's the only place Dragon Quest matters.

2) The DS is currently at 85 percent of the PS2's install base there. It will absolutely blow past the PS2's install base by the end of the year

3) The DS has a larger install base in Japan now than the PS2 did when DQ VIII was released

So DQ IX actually does have a better environment (install base + projected base growth) than DQ VIII did, but that doesn't detract from the PS2's overall dominance. You are correct -- worldwide, the PS2 is the best selling system in history, be it home console or handheld.
