Chalk me up for a DSi when they launch, That'll be my household's 4th DS.
(I dropped my DS Lite and the hinge cracked. It's still intact, but it won't be long until it rips in two. Double Dip excuse 4TW.)

Wiki attributes it to Financial Times. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/1c46ad2e-5678-11dd-8686-000077b07658.html
But they at a glance atleast seem to talk about 140 million PS2.
I'm still pondering whether to buy a DSi or not. If I did it would be my fourth DS. My launch-week Phat was given to a friend when I picked up my launch-week Lite. That first Lite developed the hinge-crack problem after a year and a half so I bought a red-and-black Lite. It still works OK except two months ago I dropped it on pavement and the Power/Low Battery LED on the right side of the hinge doesn't work anymore.

I could have sworn I saw a press release that said the PS2 was at 140 million.

For the record, the PSP was launched just 1 month after the DS in Japan.
And on Feb 13, 2009, SCEE announced that the PSP reached the 50 million "sell-in" mark. (Does that mean shipped or sold, I can't tell with the ambiguous phrasing)
So basically 2 DS's sold for every PSP, worldwide.

From the article:
The article is from July 2008. So it's probably from E3 you remember it.

Xbox vs PS2 when both were shown together
"Xbox with pwn PS2"
"Next gen graphics are here, PS2 will suffer now"
DS vs PSP when both were shown together
"DS is LOL"
"PSP is going to slaughter DS with its graphics"
Wii vs PS360 when both were shown together
"360 will pwn Wii"
"Wii??? wtf? did they seriously name is 'WIII?' what in the world were they thinking'
"PS3 will destroy Wii, which gamer wants to play last gen graphics on a gimicky control scheme"
.... I see a pattern here

Personally, I always go to look at chairmansteve since apparently he has access to these numbers. Someone already posted the approximate sales of PS2 as of December 2008, which was 136.32m.
Also, not too far above is an article that seems reliable enough. I guess we'll have to wait until E3 again to see how many units Sony has shipped. Sales should see a slight boost since Sony started selling PS2 in Latin America, correct?

GAF doesn't know shit about shit?
Wasn't PS2 at approx. 130M in June, 2008? It sold 20 million in 8 months?Cdammen said:Wow. Just 51M more to go to beat the PS2 line
Did you pull that 51M number out of an orifice down under or am I mistaken?

Someone I trust clarify please.
We've got
garaph.info @ 120 million
chairmansteve(?) @ 136,2 million shipped (Dec 08)
Sony PR @ 140 million sold (July 08)
wiki (lol) @ 151 million
It's also kinda sad that I know some of the authors in Stump's post. I read too much classic GAF. >_<

Well deserved 100 million for being the most awesome platform this generation.
And assuming a very conservative 5 m sell through in NA in just the 3 Xmas months in North America, 2 m in Japan and 5 m in Europe, that's 12 million in 3 months, not including April to to September sales. Including those you're looking at easily 125m installed based by Dec 31, 2009.

* 151m is just wrong. The Wiki article's source on that number even says 140m in Jul-08.
* garaph.info only has the "production shipments" number for PS2. My guess is that without a way to translate the previous tracking method to the more reasonable "retailer shipments" method, JoshuaJSlone just left the PS2 number unupdated.
Go DS!
The problem stems from the fact that Sony stopped giving LTD shipment numbers for PS2 (and PSP) in their quarterly reports when they switched their reporting method from production shipments to regular shipments (and you can't really add the old production shipment numbers to the new shipment numbers) and the only way to get this data nowadays afaik is from the occasional PR or interview.Haunted said:

This isn't perfect, but the last time they reported a separate number for both DS as a whole and DSL was the end of March 2008. That should give us a pretty good idea of where original model DS ended.
70.6 million (DS total) - 51.78 million (DSL) = 18.82 million original model DS?
DSi shipments were 1.66 million at the end of 2008; obviously they're up somewhat since then.
donny2112 said:
This. So for now the PS2 (and PSP) shipment numbers on Garaph go through March 2007 and then cut off. PS3 was still new enough that we have its entire history in the current shipment reporting method.Jokeropia said:
