The DS already beat the PS2 in my mind anyway, PS2 needed several extra years to sell just a few million more units, DS hit 100 million and 150 million way faster than the PS2, it's not even close actually. The fact that Sony let the system hang around in budget markets for $99.99 for several years on end because the PS3 was selling like a turd to start with made the PS2 a phony champ to begin with IMO.
Nintendo could've kept the DS on storeshelves for an extra 3-4 years too and crawled to 165 million or whatever too, that would've proved nothing.
The DS should be the measuring stick for sales excellence, not the PS2, the DS smokes the PS2 in average sales per year.
