DS is only 1.6 million units behind, and they stopped shipping PS2's.

DS probably won't surpass PS2 by the end of 2012, but it should pass at some point in 2013. Sony hasn't shipped very many PS2's this year, and it's only selling about 1,000-3,000 units a week. That's only going to last until inventory clears, which is 154.4 million according to Sony.

The DS is selling 40,000 a week, and is looking to finish the year at 2.5-3 million. So the DS only needs 1 million sales for 2013 to top PS2, and even if it doesn't do it in 2013, it will do it by 2014.

 

Also 3DS is tracking significantly above the DS, so 3DS could top both the PS2 and the DS.

Sony shipped 800k-1m PS2s just last quarter though. That's almost twice the amount Nintendo shipped of DS. That's way more than 1k-3k a week as well. Sony predicted 3m for the whole year, Nintendo 2.5m DS's iirc.

The fact that you put a range lol, is proof of you making that up. Why not the exact shipments? Maybe because that 800k - 1m is speculation.
