That is anybody's guess, since there seems to be no concrete data. There are basically three camps; those that believe DS has ALREADY passed PS2 (hardcore Nintendo fans), those that believe it has not yet passed it, but will soon (logical assumption), and those that believe it NEVER will pass it (hardcore Sony fans). I count myself in the second category :P

First camp can easily be proved wrong, so I don't see why anyone would be there. Second camp is on the losing side and third camp on the winning side  .

So you think it's likely DS will not pass PS2, even though DS is 4 years younger, has more games yet to be released, and is still in production while PS2 is not? I think that's a long shot. Might take awhile, might even take 5 years or so, but I think DS passing PS2 is inevitable at this point. One important factor people forget is that Nintendo still has room for a pretty significant price drop, not to mention the holiday seasons to come, which tend to favor Nintendo.

PS2 is still in production, shipped more than DS in 2012 etc. So yeah. Nintendo aren't going to support DS for 5 more years, especially when it's already shipping less than PS2 is now.
Like has been said in this thread, the only place where DS even sells anymore is USA, and the sales there are dropping fast. The holiday season is largely irrelevant for such old hardware, and PS2 outships DS all year up to the holiday season.

I also don't get why PS2 is discontinued in Japan while DS is still there. PS2 was doubling its numbers there before it got discontinued if I remember right.
