The PS2, which sells for about $130 US, moved 280,000 units, leading 259,000 units of Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s current generation offering, the Wii, which has a motion sensitive controller.
The PS2 sales bring lifetime sales for the device to 38 million.
The relatively low-end devices eclipsed sales of high-end offerings from Microsoft Corp. and Sony, which respectively sold 199,000 Xbox 360s and 130,000 PlayStation 3 consoles.

Not bad I guess. It is a good console, the PS3 isn't that amazing, yet, to buy so I can see why people would buy it.

The Wii is out of stock in most places, which is why it hasn't sold alot and the PS3 is an over-glorfied, over-stuffed, over-priced media centre sold as a console to confure people. Which is why people don't want to buy one immediately.

it's cheap and it still has games coming out for it pretty regurlarly, so this was pretty much expected.

Wii's are hard to find in the UK right now though, so that might be part of the reason why they haven't sold as many. Overall I think the PS2 has prooven itself as a success though, so it's not suprise to me when I see those figures.
