Could someone explain it to me ? (Ps2 sales)

But where is all the innovation that has lead to large amounts of sales of new and interesting games for DS? It also matters that 6 of the top selling games are more or less the same game but with slight variations (Pokemon). And many of those Mario games are merely continuations of franchises from previous generations (mario kart, NSMB DS, Super Mario 64). And there's DQ IX, which if I'm not mistaken is the 9th game in the franchise.

There's really no evidence to show that new and innovative games fared all that well on DS, apart from a handful of exceptions, compared to how PS2 games sold. The vast majority of great and excellent games sold <3 million on DS and PS2. So there's no real difference and DS isn't a special snowflake because it has a large number of amazing innovative games that sold 10s of millions of copies, or even a large number of amazing innovative games that sold over 5 million.

The innovation is in the games you label as exceptions in order to arrive at no evidence

Right so the exceptions that prove innovative games typically don't equal sales.
