However, realistically there won't be a huge difference from Shipped-Sold ratios between PS2 and DS. However if we see an instance where PS2 ships 50,000 more units then DS, it really isn't correct to say PS2 is outselling DS because we simply don't know that.

Those shipped consoles will be sold eventually.

Yes, that's true, eventually, where DS might be selling them now. Do you not understand why shipped =/= sold?

And that is relevant on a discussion about which console will eventually sell more? Do you not understand?

Yes, but if PS2 sells what it ships now in the future, and DS sells what it ships now, leaving room to ship more in the future, then DS will sell more in the future.

If DS runs out of stock because shipments do not meet demand, but PS2 is discontinued because the system is stocked up to meet demand for an extensive period of time, then DS will sell more in the end.
