Forums - Sales Discussion - NINTENDO DS Outsells PS2!!!

fwap said:

I'm not sure it's a fair comparison anyway. I mean is the PS2 really a console?

After all, it isn't handheld.

There is some truth in this, but it's still good for the industry. Sales should go up each gen, so it can't be a bad thing.

It is easy with a combination with many PORTABLE!!! Nintendo DS is not a home console, is a PORTABLE!!!

PS2 still remaining the best selling HOME Console of all time!

Lol just because Vgchartz has the DS numbers above the PS2's doesnt mean its actually right, this site isnt all that accurate. i'll wait till Nintendo announces something.

Even though he has admited he's just trolling the site, he's right. VGC PS2's numbers are not correct. There's no way there's 9 million PS2's on shelves and that Sony keeps on shipping and stuffing the channel. I mean, it's just common sense.

Besides, shipment numbers hold the major importance. Everytime there's a comparison made people use shipped numbers for older consoles, why not follow the same rule in this case? It's a case of DS fans being a bit desperate about it happening NOW. It will happen, just wait.

Exactly.  Why is a hollow victory so important when it'll happen in a few months anyway?  Even though it makes me sad, I remind myself of the great pains all the companies have taken to make this happen.  PS2, like the PS1, SNES, NES and Atari before it, are just stepping stones to a bigger and (hopefully) better industry, where consumer bases are widened and more desires are fulfilled.  I guess a sign of a healthy industry WOULD BE a new record every gen, yeah? 



All hail DS! if it is now great, later? Still great, I dont really care if it now or later, but the fact that the DS deserve all those sells and more, the best game "machine" I ve ever have...

why are you comparing a handheld device to a console? well I can say PC's sold millions and outsold DS since PC's are also used for gaming. PS2 is still the king of consoles all time.
