How long will the PS2 hold the WW sales record?

As long as the PS2 is still on the charts

Oh, I'm not trying to deny the PS2 its place in history. It DOES have the highest sales numbers ever (so far) and it did so as the LEAST powerful system of its generation. (Well, I'm not sure about the Dreamcast.)

I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to baseball trivia, but I doubt that Mickey Mantle still has any records on the books. But we (in the USA anyway) still know his name, because he's a freaking legend.

Something that a lot of people overlook when looking at the history of consoles is that the most powerful console has NEVER won.  You can go all the way back to the days of the Atari and there has always been something more powerful but the additional cost has never been worth it to the general public.

I think the DS might outsell the PS2 but I doubt any of the set top consoles will be able to this generation.  They all just have too many negatives that drive people towards the other consoles.  Its still possible and a year from now I might change my mind.
