Impressive.
Can I ask where you got the figures for PS1 and 2 though? Pretty sure the PS1 stopped at 102.49 million... while I actually thought the PS2 was above what you have (something like 156m+)


He's using the VGChartz figures (http://www.vgchartz.com/analysis/platform_totals/)

Since we all hang out here, I guess they're as good numbers to use as any! :P

On topic: Hooray Playstation.

Hmm, well I am pretty sure that's a mistake (unless Sony started selling new PS1s in the last 2 years) Sony's own websites ended PS2 shipments at 102.49m in FY2005 (they took the info down a couple of years ago though, and annoyingly PS1 is not in their historical figures)

Not sure on the PS2 figure but the shipment figure is actually just short of 158 million... I am not certain if that is a mixture of sales (read shipments to retailers) and "production shipments" though, which would warp the numbers a little around 2000 and 2007 when Sony switched reporting figures (ie a couple of million consoles may be counted twice in the number... still should be over 154m though)
