DS crowned UK's favourite console
Sales surpass 10m units
Over 10m Nintendo DS handhelds have been sold in the UK, making the gadget Blighty’s favourite console of all time.
Newly released figures from market watcher GfK Chart-Track have revealed that 10.05m DSs have crossed the counter since the console first went on sale in the UK almost five years ago.
Sony’s PlayStation 2 was, until now, the UK’s most popular console, notching up sales of 10.02m units since the year 2000.
In excess of 5700 DS consoles are sold in the UK each day, Chart-Track added, and almost one in six Britons now owns one.
The PlayStation Portable’s UK sales stand at somewhere in the region of 3.2m units, while Brits have snapped up roughly 2.5m PS3s, 3.9m Xbox 360s and 6m Wiis to date. ®

I'm sure the PS2 figure includes all varieties of that machine, just as the DS total includes all types of the Nintendo consoles.

Sneaky maths
Add up all the types of DS and claim it's sold a few more than one type of Playstation. By the same logic as Nintendo use, lets add up PS1, PSone, PS2, PS2Slim, PS3, PS3Slim, PSP, PSPGo and see if Playstation has outsold DS shall we?
