I don't really care about shipping numbers. DS has already outsold PS2 LTD!

What? No.



call me crazy but i see 4 more yr's for PS2 (just for developing markets) and the GBA is king if i remember correctly.

its very possible for NDS to out ship PS2 and sales will slump if 3DS takes off and if they do they'll sale abut the same over the course of there perspective life cyces until NDS is discontinued.

i expect NDS to be discontinued before PS2 is.



I'm personally expecting it to outship the PS2 in late 2012. Maybe early 2013 if the 3DS really picks up




Does Sony even make money from PS2s sold in developing markets? I'm admittedly completely ignorant of the situation regarding this, but I can't imagine there being shops in countries like Brazil or India where you could just buy a legitimate (non-preowned/modded) PS2

The console is overpriced here ($350)... so Sony makes lots of money.



I dont know. I think the DS will die much more faster than the PS2... it's amazing how well the PS2 maintains its sales.

DS is still at what $130, they can drop that price to $99, Or go crazy just go 50 or 75 and pass PS2 numbers in a heatbeat.


...And Sony could still drop the price of the PS2 to 79 or even 49, which would mean the DS would never outship the PS2.
