You might find this chart illustrative:

Some people don't like this chart because of the PS2's staggered launch in different regions. Personally, I disagree because a staggered launch is a just a way of managing limited supplies. But if you want to adopt that tactic, here's the chart broken down by region (Japan, Americas, Others):

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS2&reg2=Japan&cons3=PS3&reg3=Japan&weeks=156

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=America&cons2=PS2&reg2=America&cons3=PS3&reg3=America&weeks=156

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=Total+Other&cons2=PS2&reg2=Total+Other&cons3=PS3&reg3=Total+Other&weeks=156

As you can see, the only region where the Wii is losing out to the PS2 is Japan, largely because handhelds are crushing the console market in that region. Growth in the other markets completely offsets that.
