According to the WW figures on this site, DS is actually around 10M beyond PS2 at the same point in its life.
Although I will admit that the PS2 launched in EU and NA almost 1 year after Japan, whereas DS launch in NA and Japan in Nov-Dec 2004 and in EU in March 2005.

EDIT: It would be really cool to have PS2 (and other previous gen consoles) Other Region sales added to the Hardware Comparison Charts. It makes it really hard to compare this gen to last World wide.
