Why?

VGChartz has stopped tracking PS2 sales since last year, so it doesn't take into account the fact that PS2 is still selling (particularly in emerging markets).

Wrong.

The DS was already outselling PS2 in global sales here on VGChartz last year and a lot of people were complaining that the PS2 was undertracked.

VGChartz has updated PS2 numbers since then.

Anyway, don't want to start a sales vs. shipping figures debate. But there is no way that the PS2 is selling higher in emerging countries than what DS does in NA, Europe and Japan combined.

I want to agree, but I think the DS still has a little bit to go. Without confirmation from Sony (for all we know, PS2 is on its last shipment) or Nintendo about where figures actually stand, I think this is "VGChartz official" and little else.
