This is the most arrogant post I've seen all day, you speak in absolutes as though you have travelled to the future and back and know the outcome of sales...I guess fanboys will always be fanboys.

How is it? exactlly. The guy asked of if anything will beat the PS2. I responded. I just added the last part. To tell you how
sure I am.

That was post arrogant because you mentioned fanboy meltdowns, and you would probably enjoy them too.

Seriously, after seeing you on the forums enough, you're starting to really annoy me. Stop kissing Nintendo's butt and try some more things. You might enjoy them.

I only did this once :/ Fine I'll be more lenant. I'll edit it

Speaking of annoying my posts http://www.vgchartz.com/profiles/posthistory.php?id=35692&page=1
I don't seem annoying. Have you only seen my early posts only? That's when I was annoying

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

Didnt know that. Actually I am little surprised but nevertheless Interesting. I think Wii will be slightly under PS2 somewhere in the 120 million range but PS3 and Xbox will be probably 50 Million over GC and Xbox so the market still expanded quite a bit.



The stars aligned for the PS2 to last as long as it has.

PS3 was a flop (don't deny it) at launch. NOBODY except the extreme loyalists would pay $600 for the machine. So the fanbase stuck to the PS2.

Wii being a weaker machine allowed developers to maintain development for PS2 since they could easily be ported to Wii and be considered satisfactory.

On top of that Sony knocked out PS2 backwards compatibility, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of current PS2 sales are rebuys of previous owners whose systems are crapping out and since there is no way to play PS2 games other than a PS2 they buy another.

If PS3 was cheaper, and the Wii more powerful, PS2 probably would have died 2 years ago.

Since Wii is the only console to be drastically behind graphically, I don't see it lasting long into next generation. especially since Nintendo is going to make a 2-generation leap in power and also have the latest and greatest in motion control. 3rd party developers have completely ignored the Wii (and have payed the price) so it's library isn't nearly as strong as the PS2 which helped it maintain its sales.

All of that being said, the DS will outsell it with ease most likely by the end of the year. It doesn't look like Wii is going to make it though, (probably only 120 million) Since the software just isn't there to drive the hardware outside of Nintendo games.



Home consoles? No

No, no and No; Wii will fall short.

Hand held? Yes

DS

The PS2 is probably going to remain ahead of the Wii in terms of LTD sales as the thing just keeps selling. However if we discuss them as phenomenoms in the market, Nintendo has arguable achieved more against far heavier opposition and they have done so almost solely on the backs of their first party software efforts which may remain unparrelled as far as first party exclusive system sellers are concerned.

Oh and the DS is sure to pass the PS2, that much you can count on.

I'm actually curious as to how much of the Wii's success is attributable to the hardware as opposed to the software.  It's software is quite a bit weaker than the PS2's at this point, at least in quantity of great games.  It's interesting, if the Wii hadn't had a new control scheme, the consoles scenario would probably mimic the Gamecubes.



Hasn't the DS already passed ps2 sales? As for the wii, can't say yet. Depends on how long nintendo leaves it on the market

DS will outsell it in only 5 years. Amazing!

As for the Wii, I'm not too sure about that but it will be tight.

I hope you're not saying that you approve of flamebait posts like that of killeryoshis 

But anyway getting back to the OP, the DS will definitely pass the PS2 in sales while I doubt that the wii will have the sufficient longevity required to do the same.
