It's 140 mil shipped, not sold.

"The PS2 is the best selling console to date, having reached over 140 million units in sales by July 2008."

Units sold 140 million (as of July 20, 2008)

I think this is a case of someone from Sony misspeaking (subsequent comments clarified it) ... but the citation took on a life of its own because of the Internet.

The high sales figure matched some people's perceptions ... so it stuck, even though it was a 10M unit misstatement.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
