PS2 is the gaming GOD in sales!

Yup the PS2 is God. People that think the Wii will pass it soon need their heads checked IMO. Now I know the current sales are unlikely to continue at this rate forever but to base these outlandish predictions on the current sales is stupid:

Last week the Wii only outsold the PS2 by 184, 529 units...

So the Wii is now 96,889,940 units behind the PS2...

So at this rate it will take 525 weeks for the Wii to pass the PS2...

Or to put it a date on it: 2018.

HORRIBLE math

 you are assuming that the ps2 will continue to sell at its current rate for the next 525 weeks; ps2 only sells around 100k/week during the normal year; and it will stop selling before 525 weeks are up

 also, wii has been supply constrained and just upped production to 1.8mil/month this fall...it will increase production again in the future (next year) and it will reach 150 million within 5 years easily...if ps2 is at 130 now, then it won't hit 150 million ever

 also, when talking user base, there are <100 million ps2 unique owners out there...MANY MANY of them had to buy 2-3+ ps2s because they broke...that isn't happening with the wii, so it'll pass the unique base sooner
