So maybe your right then. I didn't realize DS sales have crashed so hard lately. I still find it hard to believe that PS2 is selling/shipping this well over 10 years after its release, but you did make a good point.

I still think DS has a chance at passing PS2. I just feel DS is selling a larger portion of its shipped figure. Still.....

Guess 3DS will have to take top spot, it's outpacing the DS so far.

DS can't pull it off, Sony sells to more markets and Ninty isn't concerned with passing the PS2. Just concerned with killing Sony's future plats. On the handheld side its working. We will find out if it worked on the home console side when the PS4 releases.

Maybe. Nintendo cut GBA's life real short because of the PSP, and really hurt Sony's PSV with the hefty price drop on 3DS units. If Nintendo can eliminate Sony from the hand-held market (which might happen if Monster Hunter stays Nintendo, and Square Enix stops supporting Sony handhelds), then the 3DS successor will rake in A LOT of sales.

Precisely, thats what Ninty knows as well. Ninty probably knows the 3DS can't expand any further than the DS since it has it's sequels. Same with WiiU. Expand into red territory, while still catering to the blue ocean created last gen. That's Ninty's motto with 3DS and WiiU I think. Next gen we will see Ninty creating new brands to expand farther than what the DS and Wii carved out.
