We all know the Nintendo DS was eventually going to take over the PS2 numbers in Japan. Because the DS appeals to the mass consumer and its cheaper than what the PS2 was back then and also its a portable with a new control scheme.

So you are saying the PS2 did NOT appeal to the mass consumer? Are you certain?

While they are different things, it's still extremely newsworthy how the currently leading handheld has passed last gen's leading home console in sales.

The GBA didn't sell as well as the PS2, and the original GB is so high in the stats only because our numbers bundle up the sales of a zillion different models released during a time period of 10 years. If this happened every gen I wouldn't care, but the DS is the first gaming device to beat the PS2's record in such a short time.

If you are comparing consoles to handhelds why not throw PC in there? PC beats all.

PC is a computer, not a video game console, or handheld, and it doesn't beat all.

So your saying that you should compare a hand held device to a home console system?

Its equally stupid. Wake me up when the DS gets over 120 million sold and I'll at least give it a little respect.

It's already more than halfway there. :)

You can argue that the DS is not competing with the PS2, and that's correct. But that doesn't mean that the DS outselling the PS2, something no gaming system other than the original Game Boy has done, is not significant.
