Never heard of that. Maybe it was for a specific year or region.

Strange, I distinctly remember it being a big deal that the Wii outsold the PS2 at some point.

I figured the 2004 release as the PS2 slim turned the tables again, but that was still before the Wii came out in 2006. It’s possible that story only counted the original PS2 and this chart counts both, though.

I don’t remember that. Maybe you’re thinking of something like “if the Wii keeps selling at its current pace it will pustell the PS2”?
They said that about the Switch as well and it didn’t happen.

It might’ve had higher sales at its peak, but PS2 had a lot of longevity.
