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.


How on Earth is the DS going to sell 15 million units in 2 years when it's struggling to sell 25k a week?

It is selling under 25K a week in April. It will sell several million during the holiday season as it did last year. This holiday season will also include a Pokemon game and likely a price drop. A cheap enough videogame console makes a very good Christmas gift; especially a Nintendo one with a Pokemon game.

I will note that DS software is currently doubling PS2, PSP, and PSP Vita sales combined on a weekly basis. It clearly has more buyer's eyes on it than those three consoles do presently.

 

All the DS has to do is sell another 1.8 million consoles to surpass the PS2. This it will easily do during the next holiday season; it is inevitable.

The wii is selling three times the DS and it's highly doubtful it'll do 15 million in 2 years....

Like I said the DS has no more system sellers, as much as Pokemon B/W2 sells its not going to move any systems. Software means shit if it doesn't bring in new buyers. Same games, sequels, remakes at this point on the DS won't move hardware. The PS2 is still being shipped and doing well.
