Aww yea, DS managed to stay on top of PSP every year including 2012 with the latest adjustment. Was worried PSP could have topped the DS for a year, but looks like Vita has cut it's sales like 3DS cut DS's.

Now lets see if DS can top PS2.

Last year fall, just a bit before the Vita released. It killed the Vita before Vita was born.
