It's very probable that the PS2 still has the higher amount of sales, but 2.4 million PS2s in stores and warehouses worldwide doesn't sound that impossible. Perhaps it sold a million or so more than what VGChartz is reporting but only somebody with priority issues would freak out about it. DS will outsell the PS2 within a few months anyway.

But you're right about VGChartz not being very credible. It's all guesstimating and there is no transparency in the data whatsoever.

The problem with the ~2.4M number is that when a system is as old as and sells as slowly as the PS2 on a weekly basis, there isn't going to be a huge difference between shipment numbers and sold.  Realistically the gap would be closer to ~500K.  Most likely VGC needs to adjust their PS2 numbers up by ~2M for the end of last quarter, probably up ~2.5M-3M for the end of this year.  So, at the end of 2012, sold should be more in the line of ~156.2M-156.7M.
