No it did not. Over the last several quarters, PS2 shipments have been half of what they were the previous corresponding quarters. Q1 2011 had 1.4 million shipped. At pace, that would suggest 700k shipped. Combined PS2/PS3 shipment data suggests it's even lower than that for PS2...unless PS3 had a really horrible quarter. Total expected shipments are 300-400k.
The previous quarter we have exact figures for both where the PS2 and DS each shipped between 500-600k. We won't have Q1 2012 figures for the DS until next week but the DS will have a spike in shipments because of Pokemon Black and White 2.
Nintendo is still projecting a further 2.5 million DS shipments over the next several months. Sony is not projecting that many

What the hell?? PS3+PS2 did 2.8m in the last fiscal quarter. People are saying 1.7-1.8m for PS3, that leaves the PS2 with 1m. So yes. PS2 DID ship around 1m. Tell me how much DS shipped when the last results were revealed?

I just told you the most recently known DS figures. I've bolded them above. Well get Q1 2012 figures next week.
Now, you want to explain to me how the PS2 goes from 500-600k in Q4 2011 to 1,000,000 in Q1 2012? Especially given that every previous quarter has seen a drop in half of the shipments form the previous FY. Shipments were dropping by half from quarter to corrsponding quarter and yet they jump from 500-600k to 1 million for no reason?
I'm using actual figures here. Comparing them against previous quarters and the corresponding quarters of previous fiscal years. You're getting 1 million from people that are just assuming based on the assumption of PS3 doing just 1.7-1.8 million of the 2.8 million shipped.
Now you tell me which figures are not only more realistic but based on actual trends and extrapolation and which figures are just hoping.
