Well the thing is there are still new DS games launching in 2013 and there may even be some new launches in 2014. Nintendo is still producing DS and it's selling good numbers in emerging market (probably as much if not more than what PS2 did in the past few years over there). DS is still selling decent in NA and Europe.
On the other hand, there is no new game release for PS2 anymore. Sony confirmed they have stopped producing it and the console is selling pretty marginal numbers (even in the emerging markets) as of now. Seriously I did not see a PS2 on shelf since at least 2 or 3 years ago and I spoke with people from South America (no fanboys) and they confirmed that PS2 is not selling anymore over there while DS is still seeling good.
I seriously don't see how it won't outsell PS2, unless you're in total delusion. lol
Anyway it does not really matter anymore since if you think about how many PS2 were bundled with phone contracts and how much phats died with the disk read error death it is clear that DS is #1 since at least 2 years. |
Oh my, this is the best one yet.
The DS hasnt outsold the PS2. Neither has the DS Lite. The DSi didnt either. The DSi XL? Nope.
Do you realise that the DS only sold 30,000 units outside of America during the holidays? Do you? About ~240k outside of America during the entire Year of 2012? Do you just choose to not understand that the PS2 outshipped the DS during the first 9 Months of 2012?
Nintendo shipped ~2.6 Million DS' in 2012.
Sony shipped ~3 Million PS2's in 2012.
Youre embarrasing Nintendo fans. The dream is over. Drop it. Pull your head out of the sand. Pull your fingers out of your ears. See sense. Youve been wrong on this for 3 Years. 3 Years! We all know how much this means to you. We all know how much you need the DS to pass the PS2. Just... Stop. Just... Save yourself.

You're making a fool of yourself again in completely ignoring my argument of DS STILL SELLING while PS2 DOES NOT.
Even a 5 years old kid would understand that the DS will sell a couple more millions in the upcoming 1 or 2 years while PS2 won't.
You're also completely irrelevant when talking about shipping figures and totally in delusion if you really think PS2 outsold DS last year. lol
It's been 3 years now that you are hysterical each time someone is saying DS has outsold PS2 or will eventually outsell it. 3 years! Get over it man, PS2 is now #2.
And to take your own words, why ''do you choose to not understand'' that it tooks 50% less time for the DS to reach PS2 LT sales or that DS were not given away with phone contract or replaced because of some DRE death...Does it really matter IF PS2 still 1 or two million ahead?
We are only talking about a console sales, don't get emotional like that, you're only looking ridiculous.

I think the only one making a fool of themselves is you. You're ignoring all the facts that people bring to you, just so you can live the dream that Nintendo holds the #1 spot for consoles. And to do it, you use VGC numbers, whch outdated. The DS is overtracked here by at least 600K, while ioi has admited the PS2's numbers are undertracked by a couple million. And shipment numbers are for from irrelevant, as they are the numbers the world will use to determine #1, not VGC numbers. And yes, for 2012, the PS2 at least tied the DS's shipment numbers. Though, it may have surpassed them by a few 100K. For the FY, however, Nintendo only project to ship 2.3M consoles, while Sony projects to ship 3M. And this late in their lifetimes, shipment numbers are only going to be ~250K-500K more than their sales numbers.
Of course, I just expect you to ignore all of these facts. But, that's ok. You continue living that dream.
