I wonder if the Wii will reach that level?(PS2)

Right now, I'd say yes, but it won't be as successful as the DS in Japan.

Good job DS, and Nintendo most likely already has a redesign ready and are just waiting for the right time to launch it.

Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

A platform that launched in December 2004 has outsold the top selling console in Japan already. Even though the PS2 launched in March of 2000 in Japan. Granted, the two never really competed with one another directly, but:

Hold on there Mr. Afro-Cowboy. The top selling console in Japan is the PS2? No, in order for the DS to get that position, it's still got another 9 or so million to go methinks.

If you're saying that the DS beat the highest selling home console of all time, then that's just cherry picking (dangit Fishy has me saying it too!).

Huh? 9 million more for what? Really, I don't understand what you are saying.
