I believe the number of PS2s (worldwide) has increased by about 23-24 million worldwide since the XBox360s release. I don't think VGChartz data actually goes back that far (with hardware), and I don't know for certain.

 

And what does this have to do with anything?

I was responding to a question about it, and frankly, its a statement about how much day-to-day new marketshare Sony actually commands -- its pretty much on par with Nintendo's, until only very recently.  The PS2 is still a serious competitor, and can't be discounted until Sony discontinues it.  

To the contrary (of discontinuing it), they released a new slimline last year in Japan (and a couple months back in the EU/US) which has an internal power supply, and a further parts reduction.  It's still goin' strong -- Sony has 3 players on the field, not 1( MS), or 2 (Nintendo).  If your aim is to analyze marketshare, rather than cheer on your favorite "modern" console, this is pretty important.

 

Let the J man ask you this , why isnt nds sales included in the wii's marketshare? Because they are completely different hardware and as such get completely different games. Same thing with the ps2 and why it isnt included in sonys marketshare in the whatever generation this is.
