Here's what the 50th selling game of each of the currently sold consoles did last week according to VGCharts...
DS---- 36,283
Wii---- 29,852
X360- 29,102
PS3--- 18,967
PS2--- 5,619
PSP--- 3,509
IMO, I think this elimates the distortion caused by pack-ins & new releases on the charts and is a real measure of a console's ability to sell a breadth of software. That's what publishers look at (since very few games have a chance of being best selling) and what retailers go by in allocating shelf space.
It looks like 2009 is going to be the last year of PS2 & PSP viability. Sony is going to have to work hard to protect it's retail turf.
