And the All-Time Best Selling Console in Japan is...

the Nintendo DS. Yes the DS has just managed to push across the line that the PS2 had drawn in the Japanese soil. The DS has now sold almost 21 million units, edging the PS2 by 50,000 as of now. Now, remember this is only Japan, not worldwide. The PS2 is still the worldwide leader by a huge margin as it has sold 120 million units worldwide, and is still surprisingly doing decent. The DS, meanwhile, has sold about 55 million worldwide. Look for it to break the PS2's record in the coming years with the way its selling right now. You can literally not find a DS on the shelves at many stores even though it is a three year old console. That is a mindblowing fact in my opinion.
