So, maybe DS can top PS2 now and become the best selling video game system ever. It's only 2.45 million units behind and it sold 3.53 million units this year. If it does okay, it should top PS2 within 2 years .

LEts see if Wii can top PS1 now.



What is with all the hate?

I bet ethomaz that GT5 will not sell over 8.5 million by March 31st 2012, and 9.5 million by 2013. I WON!!!! GT5 fell short by 1.14 million and 0.81 million respectively.

IF ANY GAME NEEDS UPDATED RELEASE DATE/REGION INFO, PLEASE PM ME AND PROVIDE A LINK!

This.  Plus, the PS2 has shipped AT LEAST 157M-158M by now, so the DS has more like 4.5M-5.5M to go to catch it.  That isn't going to happen.  I'd imagine the DS will be discontinued ~156M-157M.  By that time, the PS2 will have shipped ~160M or slightly more.

I don't think Nintendo will discontinue the DS. Not until they pass the PS2 at least. They want that record.

if they gotta ship another 4.5m-5.5m, than the DS will never pass the PS2.

Not trying to burst your bubble but he said Wii not Wii U, Even though im not sure wii can pull it off, maybe 103mil lifetime! Also, DS doesn't count? Seriously? Why? It probably wont but if it does that means its #1! Jus accept it if it happens which isnt likely!
