The PS2 hasn't sold 140 million, and it probably never will.

The Wii will have beaten it in 2012.

 

If Japan is any indication, I think not(slowing demand for wii).  Firstly if memory serves me corretly, is the ps2 "still" selling or does my local gamestop, bestbuy, and walmart have some sort of monoply?  As long as there are sales of ps2 and sony does not stop making them it will be "imposssible" for the wii to catch the ps2 this gen or any.  Lets not get delusional about this, I love the wii like the rest of you guys but come on.

This isn't an infinately halving race.... as long as the Wii is outselling the PS2 weekly, it is catching up.

Lets say Wii sells 25 million in 2009.... puts it at 75 million by the end of the year. The PS2 sells 4 million and ends the year at about 130 million.

2010 sees 30 million Wii sales, ending the year at 105 million. The PS2 sells a further 2 million, ending at 132 million

2011 sees 25 million Wiis, ending at 130 million.... 1 million more PS2s makes 133 million.

----

The PS2 is still selling all through 2011 in this situation, but the Wii is only 3 million behind it going into 2012.

 

What remains to be seen is whether the Wii can continue to sell 25-30 million consoles a year. Should do.
