There are (approximately) 100 Million households in North America and as a (rough) guestimate I would say that only 1/4 to 1/3 of households owned a console in the past generation; this would put the total number of households with gaming systems at (aproximately) 25 to 33 Million. The PS2 shipped 48 Million consoles to North America. Personally, I would put the failure rate of the PS2 at 50% after 5 years which (in electronics) is not that bad but it is not that great either ... If no PS2 ever broke, I'd put LTD sales at (roughly) 60 to 70 Million
(if no XBox or Gamecube broke I'd also have put their sales in the 12.5 to 17.5 Million range)
