Read carefully.  Those figures are for Q4 2011 from both Sony and Nintendo.

Q4 2011
DS - 520k
PS2 - 500-600k 600k

Q1 2012
DS - Numbers are to be released next week 540k
PS2 - Sony combined the PS2 and PS3 figures together.  Total is 2.8 million. PS2 > 1m using the % comparasion YoY for PS2 and PS3

Q2 2012
DS - Numbers are to be released next week
PS2 -  Numbers are to be released next month

I am asking how could the PS2 go from 500-600k in Q4 2011 to 1 million in Q1 2012?   How would it just double its shipments for no reason?

You make some mistakes... fixed for accuracy.

Now about you question... PS2 shipped 1.4 million in Q4 2011... so why is so hard it have sold 1.1 million in Q4 2012... 20% down fits with the Sony PD.
