Comparing the sales of the PS2 and the DS is like comparing the two fruits I have in my lunch today -- an apple and an orange.

While they both grow on trees (play games), and have many different types (models of machines). But one gives you vitamin C (oranges -- consoles) while the other gives you antioxidants (apples -- handhelds).

I would disagree. The both are meant to play videogame, so consumers will always buy them for key software titles. So I would say their sales are compairable since they have to have software to sell, and the software has to complement their own individual characteristics.

I'm not sure Nintendo would be ready to clear out all DS stock. The DS, like the PS2, can easily sell while the 3DS is out. The only X factor may be they fear the DS will hurt 3DS sales (much like how people were buying PS2s instead of PS3s).
