Market report says Nintendo’s handheld has been selling more than Sony's console for three consecutive months.

According to the latest sales report by Famitsu publisher Enterbrain, hardware shipments of the Nintendo DS outpaced the PlayStation 2 for the month of June in Japan, selling 130,000 units and 100,00 units, respectively. Sony's PSP trailed behind the two consoles with 80,000 units sold during the month. This will be the third consecutive month that the DS has beaten the PlayStation 2 and PSP in hardware sales in Japan. Overall hardware sales for the month of June were up by 62.5 percent compared to last year.

According to Famitsu, June's best-selling game was Sega's Mushiking for the Game Boy Advance, which sold 220,000 copies. Square Enix's Drag On Dragoon 2 (Drakengard II) for the PS2 followed in second place with 170,000 copies, while Nintendo's Kahashima Ryuuta Kyouju no Nou o Kitaeru Otona DS Training came in third with 120,000 copies.

Man it is a close 1, 2, 3 right now:

In the hardware sector, the PlayStation 2 continued to be the top-selling machine with 1,286,882 units, complemented by the release of its slimline model. Though it has outsold the PS2 during the last three months, the DS ranked in second place in game hardware sales at 1,236,268 units, followed closely by the PSP with 1,137,597 units. The Game Boy Advance SP ranked in fourth place with 497,931 units, as the GameCube struggled behind with 159,559 units, trailed behind by the original GBA, which had sales that dwindled to 16,040 units due to the popularity of the GBA SP and the appearance of the DS. The Xbox sold a total of 9,045 units in the six-month period. No figures are available for the PSOne.

It is old actually, I made the thread with it actually, and it was trolled by MAF and then locked by Drinky Cow. I guess I was one of the few that found it interesting.

OH noes, a relatively new new handheld is outselling a 6 year old console! This news is more shocking than the time Dewey won the presidential race!
