When you sell something...

When you sell something, then speak. Make a game system. Sell 200 of them TOTAL, let alone in a month. Perhaps people already have Xboxes and therefore have no need to buy another?
Is this supposed to be a surprise? Of course the Nintendo DS preorders are going to outsell the PS2! In Japan, the PS2 takes 80% of the market share. The only difference between the old PS2 and the new PS2 is that its smaller, weighs less, comes with integrated NIC/Modem and looks sleeker. On the other hand, The Nintendo DS is a completely new portable video game system that features technology never before offered by any other home console or hand-held game system. Again, I don't see what the big deal is here.
Clarification?

I think the poster meant to say that the new Nintendo DS is out selling the PSTwo not the PS2. The PSTwo is the slim down version of PS2 like the PSOne was a smaller version of the PS1. It's a small detail but it clarifies things.

Doesn't everyone already have a ps2?

Doesn't suprise me that they outsold the PS2 redesign, since most people in Japan already own an original PS2 with the network add-on.
The SP is unstoppable. I have no doubt Nintendo will have many wonderful years to come with the DS.

Whew! That bit of information is relatively difficult to find.
