I agree with the Source that this is either some very fancy rounding up or a typo - PS2 shipments shouldn't be much over 130m by now.

Also 150m PS3s is insane, 60-70m is my target and that is if things pick up after price drops and 360 fades and so on so even that may be ambitious.

 

You are incorrect, these numbers are 100% legit coming from sony themselves, jack tretton announced the ps2 had sold 143 million consoles since its launch to this date, at there press conference, also he added that 140 million of those ps2 sales, are from consumers, Therefore, you are incorrect, and are NO ONE to question these numbers

 

Hmmm. The only other hit I get with a google search for the term 143 Million, Tretton and PS2 is a gametrailers forum post by Leo-J. That's an odd coincedence...

Again with leo-j you can track my ip for all I care, its a FACT I am not leo-j, Anyhow, Watch the conference, and watch the gametrailers, interview with jack tretton, he announces that the playstation 2 has sold 143 million consoles world wide to date(I believe its shipped), then he is questioned on the interview as to why the ps3 will win this gen, and he states that he has an army of nearly 140 million ps2 consumers. This indicates, that not only have they reached the shipping number of 143 million, but consumer sales are near 140 million.  You can spin it however you'd like, but the FACT remains, the ps2 has shipped 143 consoles, coming from the company itself
