DS will still sell another 15 millions in 2 years. PS2 at best will sell another 1-1.25 million total.

The major reason DS sales went down quicker than PS2 is because PS2 didn't have a worthy successor, and DS did.

DS is only 2 million behind PS2 at this moment (probably already past it in shipments); after a probable price drop and Pome on Black and White 2 this holiday seasons, DS will be ahead of PS2 easily and probably extend the lead to 10 million within 3 years.

Even Nintendo themself doesn't expect that?! DS shipped about 500K last quarter and Nintendo expects to ship 250K this quarter how can sales be higher next year?? and dont say pokemon, I already explained that.

The DS would be lucky to do 5 million in 2 years.

Of course, there's also the chance that Nintendo may take the DS off the market before 2 years is up.  I would imagine Sony is going to discontinue PS2 sales, except for maybe in smaller regions, within a year or two, as well.  Nintendo to help push sales of the 3DS, and Sony to sway people to purchase the PS4 if it has PS2 B/C (God, I hope it does.)  For now, it seems the two are shipping similar numbers, with the DS having maybe a few 100K more than the PS2.  Heck, Q3 2011, the PS2 outshipped the DS.
