Forums - Sales - When/Will NDS outship PS2?

Currently:

DS - 147.86
PS2 - 155.19

Both shipped around 1.4 this Q but that isn't indicative of what's espected over next 3 Q's, Nintendo expect another 7.6M DS up to March 2012 (but they did just adjust it down 2 million) and Sony expect only 2.6 million PS2s

The gap is around 7.3 and Nintendo expect to get that down to 2.3 end of March 2012.

Even though PS2 is showing incredible legs Sony only expect 4 mill this entire FY, which indicates it's going to be 1-3 mill FY13. DS has gone from shipping 17 million last FY to an expected 9 this year, that's almost half. If 3DS really takes off will DS sales plummet enough for PS2 to maintain the lead, and both die at a similar time?

might never happen is also possible



Sony are mindless with their PS2 projections. They always beat them. With how much they shipped this quarter they'll probably ship over 5 million for the FY. And I'm starting to think the DS might never pass the PS2.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

155.19m? I guess the number was 152.3m shipped for PS2.

Do Sony ever adjust? Or do they wait till the end of the FY to reveal if they've made/surpassed forecasts?

They adjusted down the PSP projection last year I guess.



Well, considering 3DS price gap to the DS is going down, it might never happen.



Possibly august-octuber 2012... And ds>160 million FY2013

So the PS2 does have a shot at maintaining the lead? My god that thing is an animal.
