Wrong. That's in the title. The claim in the actual OP is that the Wii will stop selling and thus will not outsell the PS2 at all.

That's exactly my point isn't it!

WE know the Wii is gonna continue to sell beyond this gen (the OP creator is dellusional of course)... but at the end of this gen, it may still be behind (for which his/her prediction may still hold true).

how is it a fair comparison to give the PS2 12 years and give the wii only 6?  If you want to ask which will sell more in its respective generation then it is even more likely to be the wii. 

Yes, it is unfair comparing the PS2's two generation of sales with the Wii's single gen. What should have been compared is the PS2's lifespan against the Wii's lifespan. Even though the sales of the Wii is beastly, we can't expect it to overtake the the accumulated PS2's 12 year sales, given only half that time. Again the OP is flawed, but that is how the comparison and prediction is done.
