So now it is ahead of PS2 finally. Well as long as Ps2 doesn't keep selling forever! It still has its own section at walmart and kmart! That system is a beast I will say that! Anyways, if the PS2 keeps selling like this what will happen when the 3DS comes and takes the DS thunder? I hope games like brain age can make it to 20 million still before that happens! I know it doesnt matter since it has made close to a billion dollars lifetime with download sales.


ioi said PS2 is undertracked, possibly by millions.  The DS will pass it soon, but it will be a bit longer until then.  Both systems are absolute monsters!

It can't be a lot.

By Sony numbers, the Ps2 had shipped 117 million by end of Q1 2007. (http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps2_e.html)

By VGChartz numbers, it has sold 24.8 million since then. Now, the expected "sold" numbers from ioi at end of Q1 2007 seems to be 113.8 million (current number minus the amount of sold since then).

Now, the 113.8 million number is clearly about spot on. So it's only the 24.8 million that can be over- or undertracked.

How largely would you expect that to be overtracked? By 2 million (8%)? 3 million (12%)? I doubt it's near 10% myself, but I guess  it's possible.



Goddd, handhelds vs home console. It may be the best selling device (because several people have more than 2/3 DS? But sames goes for PS2) but the best selling home console will be and always be the PS2, that's what matters.

Nevertheless the PS2 is undertracked, but DS might pass the PS2 by April/May.

Same goes for the DS .. well, except is the 7th gen.



Lol @ people saying it's unfair to compare DS to PS2. Come on, how many people do you think bought several PS2's due to new versions and breakdowns? A lot, I can tell you that.
