How can Nintendo gamers even talk about other system failing?

2. PS2 shipped more, maybe. That doesn't mean it sold more. Even if it had, though, he didn't say the system with the largest number of sales, he said best-selling. The DS sold better than the PS2 did, as demonstrated by the fact that, after 8 years, the PS2 had sold, at best, 130 million units, whereas the DS, having been out for just over 8 years, is now over 153 million. And the PS2 has stopped production, while the DS continues to sell.

So, around 150 m shipments and 130 m sales at best? Yup. Seems right.

I recommend that you re-read what I said, as I never said what you suggest I did. If you still don't see it, I'll explain, but at this point, I'm not particularly inclined to explain basic comprehension to you.

Typical internet response. Insult the other person, by making a remark about their inteligence, instead of explaining your point of you. Thanks but I rather stay away from this type of discussion. Good day to you, sir.

Oh, didn't you actually re-read what I said? I was insulting your intelligence because you didn't do the courtesy of properly reading what I said before responding. I don't ask for much, but I do ask that, if you're going to criticise something I say, actually make sure it's something I said before doing so.

I said that it had sold, at best, 130 million units... after 8 years. It's pretty clear, the sentence fragment right before the part you bolded. I didn't say current sales. I said after 8 years. In other words, as of 2007. The DS has sold more in its 8 year life than the PS2 sold in its first 8 years, by over 20 million. It took another 4 years for the PS2 to make it to its current sales figure. The DS has at least a 20 million unit head start going into year 9.
