The PS2 sold about 6.5 million from the end of October till the end of December in 2004(5th holiday season), and i think Wii will do about similair numbers this year.
However the PS2 didn't have the whole motion control advantage however(you can't really count eye-toy since it wasn't the main control sheme). So that made it possible to be in higher demand at a higher price point because it was more unique. Now even with competing products from Sony and Microsoft the Wii at $199 still has a price advantage, but sales are declining non the less. And i certainly don't hope you're thinking Wii might outsell PS2 eventainly because that's never going to happen, Wii is still only at about half the PS2 current total.
