This is what happens when you have one dominant system. The game library gets so saturated that the ceiling for game sales is lowered... basically, too much competition in one console ecosystem will hamper the potential for all games in that ecosystem.

Apparently that didn't happen to the DS.

Didn't it? Only 18 PS2 and 19 DS titles could reach 5 million units.

Only 37 DS titles could reach 3 million units, PS2 had nearly double of that reaching 3 million units.

And Mario Kart 7 had no real racing game competition on the DS, while there were a lot of good racing games on PS2 which splitted the racing fans and their money. If you wanted a racing game for the DS, MK7 was the obvious choice, at PS2 the choice was not that clear cut.
