PS2 kicking butts and taking names

The latest NPD figures for system sales in the US, in February, show the PS2 is more popular than many other, more powerful systems.

As expected, Nintendo still dominates, with the DS and Wii occupying the first two places, but what’s really impressive is that the PS2, Sony’s last generation console, a system that should be updated, sold a lot better than both next generation consoles, the PS3 and Xbox 360.

While the PS3 is making quite a comeback, there are clouds on the horizon for the 360, which manages to barely avoid being the worst selling system.

Here is the complete chart:
