Sony shipped 133.8m PS2s through September 2008. Through December, the total should be approaching 140m shipped.
Kaz said 140m in an interview in August - but I think he was misquoted or mispeaking. Sony's financial report for March 2008 said they were at almost 130m PS2s shipped. So in the quarter ending June 2008 they topped 130 million - and Kaz would have been referencing that for August figures which means he should have been reported/cited as saying 130m not 140m.
PS2 is available in far more countries than Wii/PS3/PSP/DS/360 are at the moment as well, and it has been available far longer as well, so the build up in retail inventory is greater than for the other systems.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
When there are more laws, there are more criminals.
