Will the Wii ever surpass the Ps2 in sales?

DVD was an emerging format in 1997, not 2001. By 2001 it had transitioned out of emerging and was transitioning into dominance over the long-time video format overlord, VHS. In that light, the PS2 having DVD playback support was an excellent move.

well according to a few things i've read, DVD did not overtake VHS until well after 2001. VHS had more marketshare for a fair time after the ps2 came out.

Nonetheless, i think DVD integration was something that really pushed the PS2 forward. A system that exclusively plays video games seems like a smaller demographic, but the Wii could very well prove that wrong but i definately have my doubts.
