Very recently, the DS became the fastest-selling console ever in the UK. Yet the handheld has already managed to obtain another achievement in the same country. Data from GfK Chart-Track shows that at the end of week 27 this year, the DS sold 10.05 units in total. This means that the portable surpassed the PS2 in sales, which stood at 10.02 total units sold. Of course, the DS has accomplished this in a much shorter period of time at a little less than five years.
