Do you think any of this generation of video game consoles will surpass the PS2? My guess is the Nintendo DS and Wii will come close but I dought they'll sell more then the PS2.

Seem's to be unbeatable.

(Playstation 2 Hardware sales at 127 million)

 

 DS maybe but I doubt that the wii will because it isn't future proof. Before I'm crucified about the graphic, my reasons are because: (1) Small memory (2) Major titles alredy released (3) Use of old technology (when HD adoption increases, wii will be left behind), hence, I think wii 2 will be released before the next xbox or ps iteration.

 The PS2 wasn't future proof either.  Both the GameCube and XBox were way more powerful, AND NOBODY CARED.  At least, over 120 million people didn't care.  Same thing's happening with the Wii and DS.  PS3, 360, and PSP are way more powerful and possibly more "future proof," but nobody cares.

1) Has never mattered before

2) Nintendo is the world's biggest publisher and developer and has a whole mess of games left, and if anything, releasing a whole bunch of major titles early will help them have a better more diverse library faster, Wii owners aren't still waiting for MGS4 and FF13 for years and years, but more great games will come, Nintendo's not just gonna stop making games any day now

3) Old technology?  The Game Boy used old technology and opted out of color in 1989.  Old technology doesn't hurt a console.
