When someone mentiones DS passing PS2, people are getting defensive :D

Personally, I find it amusing that DS even reached that number, given how historically handhelds sell only fraction of what home consoles were selling.

Huh?  The NES sold ~62M, while the Gameboy sold almost twice that, ~119M.  The GBA sold ~82M, more than Gamecube's ~22M and Xbox's ~24M.  And the DS has outsold all home consoles from this gen.  So no, it's much more surprising that the PS2 reached >157M, as it has actually outsold both the handhelds that started in its gen, while being much more expensive.
