If you do not belive this, here is another source, INDEPENDENT of this twitter thing. The Sony online store in the US says PS2 including acsessoirs (sorry grammar) is "no longer awailible"- here you are:

http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&categoryId=8198552921644813522&N=4294948078

An Austrian newspaper, "Der Standard" wich is well knowen and international accepted as a reliable high quality newspaper also says so:

http://derstandard.at/1355459654148/Nintendo-DS-ueberholt-PlayStation-2-Bestverkaufte-Konsole-aller-Zeiten

(..)

If you'd read the article, they mention VGChartz as their source in the first paragraph:

"Nintendos Handheld-Konsole DS ist das meistverkaufte Videospielsystem aller Zeiten. Dies berichten die Marktbeobachter von VGChartz."*

That means they didn't do their own research, and copied what VGChartz reported about their own numbers.

The only interesting thing you bring to the table right now is the fact that Sony apparently doesn't sell PS2 consoles and accesoiries themselves anymore. This doesn't mean they've discontinued it however. It's not discontinued until they themselves make this known through a press-release. The fact that Sony doesn't sell anymore can however be regarded as evidence for the rumour (that it will be discontinued 'soon').

 

EDIT: *For Non-German speaking/reading people here: "Nintendo's handheld console 'DS' has become the best selling video-game system of all time. This reports market observer 'VGChartz'."
