DS isn't a console? Does this mean DS games technically aren't games?

I think it would be safer to call it once the ds tops ps2´s shipment numbers. but it´s amazing that the ds has sold so much. I didn´t think it would at first



DS and Wii will outsell PS2

Yeah, back in late 2004, I think no one would have predicted that the DS would outsells the PS2 someday. Amazing!

Now Wii VS PS2 is much more interesting.

It's hard to know whether the Wii will outsell the PS2 or not. It depends when the Wii 2 will arrive and how many more years they intend on supporting the Wii.

And it's amazing the fact that it is doing it in only 6 years.

In the broadest sense of the word, the DS would be a console, but so would a pc, and there are far more of them than ds's.

Lol we all know PS2 is heavily undertracked at VGC, DS won't be king this year.


But it will have narrowed the gap by a good 6M.


Good for it, it'll have another 3-4 million to go.

Btw everyone, when does 3DS come out, won't that just kill off DS and bring the PS2 back on top? Not bashing on DS, I have one, thinking about getting a second for Wifi.

But a PC is made into a console. As in until you buy games for it, and a controller which not many people do. But in that sense. A cell phone is also a conosole. OMG
