the ps2 is king :) greatest console of all time it was truely the time where playstation ruled the world i hope sony can regain it's top spot on the console throne because they deserve it the most

This

How does a company "deserve" to be on top?

Especially a company that force fed you proprietary formats that you did not even want (Cell, BluRay), made you pay for them with an outrageous price point, lost all of your information to hackers not once, but possibly twice, blatantly ripped off the competition, failed to even care about one of its platforms (PSP), and who is now, finally starting to get things right with the Vita, when they announce you will not even be able to boot up some games if you did not buy one of their overpriced proprietary formats all over again.

This was all in the span of 5 years too

Im sure you know this, because its been said hundreds of times.

The PS2 is massively undertracked here. By something like 8 Million.

Last time I checked the PS2 was ahead in shipments so technically it's still ahead in both categories.

Here's a link.

PS2 software saless and total home consuls will likley be never beat.

It's overtracked.

September NPD, Nintendo and NPD announced the DS sold 50 million and became the best selling video game platform in America, ever.

VGC lists the PS2 at 56 million in the US.

Haha, look at world population growth and the growth in GDP of China and India. Not all that far in the future, all 1st place consoles will outsell the PS2

I hope you realise that NPD covers only the United states of America. The Americas include many other markets including Canada, Mexico, Brazil etc.

VGChartz numbers are for North and South America. NPD is just the United States.
