When regular peasant like me want to do a thread as such, I don't have the chartz tool on hand for that.



Nintendo have hugely downward revised their DS fiscal year forecast to just 6 million. Most likely they'll be scrapping it next year and it will probably never beat the PS2 in terms of HW shipments.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Goddamit people the PS2 is still #1 in hardware. DS is not.



Yes first Chinese - indian Console will be number one software and hardware.



Switch!!!

"That's unpossible. Piracy is rampant on PS2 and it killed the software sales."


Well the total software shipments is double compared to anything else, if the system was as secure as the new ones it would have sold 2 billion.



It's a handheld so it'll never have the same attach ratio as a home console

Anyways, congrats DS on becoming #1 - I hope 3DS does just as well

How does a company "deserve" to be on top?

Especially a company that force fed you proprietary formats that you did not even want (Cell, BluRay), made you pay for them with an outrageous price point, lost all of your information to hackers not once, but possibly twice, blatantly ripped off the competition, failed to even care about one of its platforms (PSP), and who is now, finally starting to get things right with the Vita, when they announce you will not even be able to boot up some games if you did not buy one of their overpriced proprietary formats all over again.

This was all in the span of 5 years too

sony always has the leading format on there system the ps2 sold so well because it was a cheap dvd player and sony had to push blu ray so they put it in the ps3 and look now? blu ray and hd is everywhere and all because of sony.

Giving Sony credit for HD is ridiculous.

rofl I was about to reply to that but I was just too blown away by the fact that someone actually thought that

I mean wow



I'm pretty sure PS2 is heavily undertracked.



Not yet it hasn't, (HW) it's actually touch and go as to whether it'll beat the PS2 lifetime.
