After 8 years on the market, the Nintendo DS finally outsold the PS2 in global sales and thus became the #1 video game system in sales.

Do I even need to say it?

It's incorrect.

Why?

It's not official until Nintendo says otherwise.

VGChartz has stopped tracking PS2 sales since last year, so it doesn't take into account the fact that PS2 is still selling (particularly in emerging markets).

- VGC stopped to track PS2 sales
- PS2 is still in production
 - Sony shipped 155.1 million at March, 2012
- Sony shipped more PS2 after March, 2012

Whether you think PS2 still holds the crown or not, there's no denying the DS got where it is MUCH more quickly.

Wrong.

The DS was already outselling PS2 in global sales here on VGChartz last year and a lot of people were complaining that the PS2 was undertracked.

VGChartz has updated PS2 numbers since then.

Anyway, don't want to start a sales vs. shipping figures debate. But there is no way that the PS2 is selling higher in emerging countries than what DS does in NA, Europe and Japan combined.

Shipped =/= sales

my friend i'm from Colombia here ps2 doesn't sell anymore... a year ago i see one in an electronic store but it was  a second hand system, in contrast  much people have a DS it is a chrismast gift very often too.
