The article should be retracted if the comparison is suspect. The reality is that if one of the products in question isn't actively being tracked. Then the margin of error isn't even the real issue. The issue is that the data is incomplete. The best thing to do is to acknowledge a honest mistake, and wait until the margin is great enough that it could be said with certainty that one has truly surpassed the other.

Or Nintendo itself says the DS shipped more units than PS2... I think that will happen sometime in 2014.

Nintendo will probably end the production of the DS before that even happens.  Nintendo isn't going to support it much longer, especially since its eating into the 3DS sales outside of Japan.  Plus, they don't have a record of supporting their older systems for very long after the release of their new HW.  Besides, with the info we do have, the PS2 had outshipped the DS for most of this year.  I don't see that changing much next year.  Maybe they will be even with one another next year, but before the DS starts making any significant ground, I see Nintendo dropping it.
