The front page tracks the current generation of consoles and handhelds. If you were to put the PS2 there, then you need to put the GameCube there too, as I can still find it in some stores. So no, the PS2 shouldn't be there, as it is from the last generation. Besides, you can find the PS2 sales on the weekly pages.

 

 I thought the PS2 was still being manafactured where as the GameCube is not. Correct me if I am wrong. (I realize you can still find the GameCube, but only if stores have held on to old inventory)

you are correct. Nintendo doesn't ship any more units.

@pc sales

the site doesn't even track PC sales, so that won't happen.

Nope, it will only remind people how poorly the PS3 does which will cause the creation of tons of "Why is the PS3 doing so poorly?" threads. Every single week.

I could also remind some freaks that Wii isn't even close to being the best selling standard definintion console of all time and that wouldn't be good for those who seem to derive their entire sense of self esteem from that fact. How's Resident evil 4 doing? Still as fun as it was on Gamecube?

I thought this thread was about PS2 numbers?

I say put them up on the main page since it is still being manafactured. While you are it please add the Dreamcast and let's pretend it is around again....

oh, but the Wii is the fastest selling console ever, and is being produced at numbers higher than any other console ever. So I wouldn't really call them freaks.

Also, no I'm not enjoying RE4, but I am enjoying quite a few games like Mario Kart and Tales of Symphonia. Thanks for showing concern about my entertainment from the system.

Anyways, for fun

Japan is the only location that the Wii is behind (by 1m), but both America and Others more than make up for that. If we look at the All aligned launch it gets even worse

The PS2 is the Wii's primary competitor in the casual market. It should definately be on the main page.

The HD consoles almost deserve to be removed.  They're fighting for the consolation prize at this point... okay that may be going a bit too far, but the PS2 should definately be up there.  It's presense, and continued growth, has a major influence.

Well Sony are still shipping PS2's and they are still selling relativley well which gives a strong case for it's front page apearance.

 

However I think the PS2 shouldn't be on the main page as it isn't really relevant anymore , it would be funny to see the Wii-boys responses though.
