I'm feeling like he was a stealth-troll, look at how many times he said he was wrong. And he seemed happy about it! (Using exclamation points always is a sign of happiness.)
I don't think it really matters. Considering the many different variables such as Ps2 launching way before DS but the DS was pretty much half the price of the Ps2, ect. Let's just say Ps2 and Ds are kings of consoles and handhelds respectively.

Did you read this thread? Did you read the thread I linked?
The PS2 sold more than the DS in the first 9 Months of 2012.
Do we really need to keep having these threads? Every time we have one, Sony fans and reasonable people point out that the gap is still ~3M+. With declines the DS is facing, it would take ~3 years for the DS to outship/outsell the PS2. The DS WILL NOT be on the market for another 2 years, let alone 3+. Of course, as in the other threads, Nintendo fans will ignore this and just claim the DS will either stop declining, or be on the market long enough.

I don't think PS2 is even discontinued. Sony haven't mentioned that and they didn't say anything about it in the recent quarterly release. If they still combine PS3+PS2 shipments next quarter we will know they are still shipping them. They predicted 3m for the year, which would give us around 158m iirc. Will reach 160m eventually if they keep shipping them. DS should reach 157m or so. |
That's my thinking, too. I would imagine if they were to discontinue it in FY 2012, it would be at the end of Q4, not 3. Plus, they just recently launched the PS2 in some regions, so it doesn't seem like a wise decision to just discontinue it so shortly after.
Didn't Sony stop producing PS2's a while ago? I don't rightly recall, but I think I remember reading about that. DS is still being produced (well, apart from the Phat and Lite models, I think, but the DSi and DSiXL are), and should sell well for a while yet.
It's already a budget choice for people who don't want the latest stuff (and their kids), plus it has an insanely large library of games still readily available everywhere. Plus, new games are still coming out, here and there.
PS2 stuff isn't as readily and visibly available anymore, really.
They'll probably do some more pricedrops eventually too. Should sell a few million more. We'll see. As long as it's making Nintendo money, they'll continue selling 'em.

Too rational, this obviously has to be a fanboy battle to the death. lol

So do you think PS3 sold more than 12.6m last year? |
Please not again with this, not going to happen everone just needs to accept this.
Why are people suddenly comparing consoles with handhelds?
