PS2's numbers shouldn't be that much of a surprise. The PS2 had years to build up its user base, so seeing it "win" the software sales wars makes perfect sense. The Wii has sold the most consoles this past year, sure, but the software selection is sad to say the least. The new consoles need more time to build decent libraries. Plus, let's face it, the PS2 consolde's hardware was excellent, and even rivals what the Wii can do today (not including the Wii's industry-changing Wiimote). I would predict that by this time next year, as the Xbox360 continues to fall behind in Japan, we'll see the Wii in 1st, PS3 in a solid second, and XBox 360 in 3rd. By year three, as prices drop further, the PS3 will move to 1st, followed by the Wii. It's a fluid marketplace. By the time a PS4 comes out, the Wii or PS3 software sales will likely still out-sell any PS4 games after the first year. It's called market saturation.
