Very soon, that little flip-screened gaming console hidden in your draw or under your bed is going to break all kinds of crazy records. Currently, the PlayStation 2 is king of the best-selling console hill, but come October...


According to NPD analysts who've been tracking gaming sales, "The NDS is approaching the PS2 as the best-selling hardware system of all time...and by October or November of this year, it should meet or exceed the install base of the PS2."

With PSP sales sliding and Nintendo DS sales tallying up to 129 million units so far, Sony had better pull its finger from its triangle button and start producing a proper successor to the PSP. [Kotaku]
