Has DS passed PS2 yet?

No it wouldn't. The results I get say DS passed PS2, but people here said a  month or so back, that this was wrong because PS2 was no longer tracked and was still selling.

So now that PS2 is discontinued, I wanted to know if things were different now.

I don't think PS2 is even discontinued. Sony haven't mentioned that and they didn't say anything about it in the recent quarterly release. If they still combine PS3+PS2 shipments next quarter we will know they are still shipping them. They predicted 3m for the year, which would give us around 158m iirc. Will reach 160m eventually if they keep shipping them. DS should reach 157m or so.

That's my thinking, too.  I would imagine if they were to discontinue it in FY 2012, it would be at the end of Q4, not 3.  Plus, they just recently launched the PS2 in some regions, so it doesn't seem like a wise decision to just discontinue it so shortly after.
