I do not see any reason that Sony could not of just had a few million PS2's lying around , and that these numbers for shipments are simply them clearing out their backstock. You do not need to produce something to ship it, so it could very well be that both killer 7 and Carl2291 are correct.

Regardless,unlike those that think nintendo will just stop producing a system that is still printing them money, I assume the DS will be around for FAR FAR longer than the PS2 (not total years, just PS2 will be completeley gone before DS stops production) so this is all a moot point, when all is said and done DS WILL be the best selling console of all time, and will likely never lose its crown. (At least not in the foreseeable future.)

What? It's not an opinion, it's not up for debate, it's a simple fact that Sony still ship PS2's because it says so in their fiscal report and for the current fiscal year Sony have projected to ship more PS2's than Nintendo have projected to ship DS's. These are new PS2's being made for expanding markets.


"These are new PS2's being made for expanding markets" - There is no evidence of that. None. We have no idea how many PS2's soney has PRODUCED, only roughly how many are SHIPPED. So the thing is , it could still be discountinued, and still be shipping.  They have been making this console for over ten years, they very well could have a large stockpile by now, thats the thing, we dont know.
