Since Crazzy got banned, and I missed the weekly updates, I decided to go back and check the numbers (since adjustments have been made) and post them. No need to thank me Crazzy!

For the first time this year, the PS2 has sold more than the PS3 has. Depending on how the PS3 does from now until GTA4 launch, the PS3 might overtake the PS2 again the week of and after GTA4, but then after that I'm expecting the PS2 to stay ahead of the PS3 from then on, with the PS2 ending the year with 16 million sales, and the PS3 ending with around 12 million for the year.
For reference here is the table for cumulative sales for the PS2, and here for the PS3 (in 2001 and 2008 respectively, Jan through March only). The difference between those numbers is 85k or so, and its missing Japan data for the current week, which should be about 20k, which makes the numbers very close (meaning hopefully they are all right).
