According to analysts from NPD, the should have outsold the by this coming October.

If Nintendo's all-conquering handheld passes the PS2's record of 140 million units it will become the biggest selling console of all time.

The DS is currently sitting at almost 129 million units sold so it doesn't have that far to go.
