Wii is the new PS2

Not quite.  In the March of '08, the PS2 sold 216K, more than twice the Wii's numbers.

And let's not even mention numbers outside of America

and that was 2008. Should've been much higher in March 2006, which is the better comparison, but there seem to be no official numbers.

Actually, I made a mistake.  The real year should have been '07, not '08, as that would be the corresponding year in the PS2's life.  So, the number is actually 280K.  More than 3x the Wii's numbers.  Oh, and the PS2 sold 273K in March of '06 according to this forum post.
