And the PS2 is undertracked on VGChartz so it really didn't happened yet :P |
Sony counts all their SHIPPED units as sales. Not from stores to consumers.

Yea, and so does every company on their financial reports. Your point?

We're on VGChartz. They track from stores to consumers. I don't care about what companies say.

ioi himself said that the PS2 is undertracked because it's harder for him to track some of the countries that the PS2 is selling well in so he simply doesn't track them at all.

As for the DS outselling the ps2, I think its a great achievement, but we also have to consider the growth of the market since then, and the great amount of marketshare the ps2 had against 2 other consoles. For this to not turn into a fanboy war its necesary to admit the merits of both system which have sold amazing for their respective times. |
By "I know" I was talking about RL, because on the internetz I've heard of lots of people who still have their first PS2 with them, without buying a second one. I even knew of someone who still had their first gen (and by "first gen" I mean "DVD player software in the memory card") PS2 in working condition.
I wasn't trying to downplay the PS2 as a massive seller, but the DS catching up to the best selling video game system is quite a feat no matter what anyone says.

OOOkkay... So for example company says 140M shipped VGC says 141M sold then VGC is right? Cool, your world is awesome. And think a bit before posting, 9M console on shelves is simply not possible. And even ioi admits it's undertracked so yes you lost and your intention was to troll. =P
the whole confussion regarding Units shipped or sold and undertracking is really irrelevant because The DS WILL pass the PS2, even after the release of 3DS the Ds will still have strong numbers just like the PS2 did after the ps3 release, so It wouldn't surprise me that the DS ends up doing over 160 million LT, and to whether you accept if the DS is the best selling GAMING CONSOLE of all time is up to you but It is.

No. Sony officially announced months ago the PS2 breaking the 150m. http://playstationlifestyle.net/2010/05/19/playstation-2-surpasses-unimaginable-150-million-units-milestone/ |

Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses
"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.

it's a great milestone mind you but unprecedented...please. |
Except that GameBoy and GameBoy Colour sold 118M TOGETHER. So you're comparing 2 vs. 1.
