There were dozens of threads like these before on vgchartz, they all looked and ended the same. Hindsight is 20/20 but there was a rather large base of people who believed that the Wii didn't stand a chance to beat the PS2 lifetime and there was an equally large base that believed that it was assured to beat the PS2 lifetime.
Overall, I'm glad I've never been as blunt and dismissive with my opinions and "foresight" or claimed analytical superiority (with no grounds at all) when discussing certain topics, a lot of users come off as mean and belittling in debates but most of them are gone today when all their bravado bit them in the proverbial behind.
I missed hard at the beginning of the gen (and, indeed, before it even started) when I said and thought that Wii would not be a success but the generation has progressed more or less exactly like I thought it would after that. A few years ago, that would have put a huge smirk on my face, I might even have sent a bunch of PM's to torment some people who were very brash and certain about their predictions and who attempted to ridicule anyone and everyone who spoke differently, but today I find myself not taking it too seriously.
I think it might be simply because I largely don't care about console gaming any longer (its been well over a year since I bought a console game).
Anyway, these threads are always a good read after a few years! 
Edit; Turkish; the DS will more than likely catch and pass the PS2, it sold 25.000 units + last week and is still moving decently for an aging console. Its inevitable in my opinion, unless something dramatic and unexpected happens (full discontinuation and halted shipments).
