April NPD: DS breaks a million, PS2 beats PS3
Everything old is new again. The DS makes a resurgence thanks to camera-enhanced DSi, while the PS2 makes substantial gains thanks to its price drop. Pfft? Current gen hardware? That's so passé. We can't wait until the N64 and Dreamcast surge back onto the NPD lists.

477K (+85%)
- Wii: 340K
261K (-43%)
