As it stands, the DS alone has the second most sales of any console, at over 100 million sales (if you include both the DS and DS Lite, and now the DSi), where as PS2 is number one at around 120 million. I'm not sure what the sales are of any system carrying the "Gameboy" label on it though.
Either way that timeline is pretty cool. It's pretty impressive to look at the speed at which the technology advanced over the last 20 years! My old school Gameboy is a tank though. It sits on my desk at home, and I'm fairly sure it still works!
Edit: Got it!
Gameboy + Gameboy color - 119M units
GBA + SP + Micro - 81M units
DS + DS Lite + DSi = 101M units
PS2 - 136M units
