O wow this thread is still going? It is a FACT that Vgchartz has stopped updating the PS2 numbers a long time ago so their PS2 numbers are VERY out of date. It is also a FACT that the PS2 is still being sold because Sony still ship PS2's and it is shown on their fiscal financial reports, with the only difference in the past two quarters that Sony now show it as PS3+PS2 sales combined.
If the PS2 has stopped selling like some ridiculous people want to claim then why do Sony continue to ship more PS2's? How does that make any logical sense? Are people going to tell me that not a single PS2 is ever sold anymore but retailers continue to order millions more of them just for the fun of it, lol?
Since Vgchartz stopped updating their PS2 numbers we've had sony ship:
1.2 million between July-September 2011
900,000 between October-December 2011
600,000 between January-March 2012
As of March 2012 it is official that the PS2 has shipped 155.1 million.
Beyond that for the past two quarters Sony have combined PS2 and PS3 shipments, and Sony's Fiscal projection for the next financial year is to ship a combined total of 16 million PS2'S+PS3'S. Sony cannot lie about these shipments to their shareholders so they are an irrefutable fact, so if Sony were shipping zero PS2's they would not be allowed to state that their numbers are PS2+PS3 combined.
Beyond that, last fiscal year Sony shipped 13.9 million PS3's, yet like i've said previously Sony expect to ship a combined total of 16 million PS2's+PS3's and if some deluded people want to claim that Sony no longer ship PS2's then that has to mean that Sony will be shipping 16 million PS3's.... during the end of the generation when all console sales are significantly down.... which is 2.1 million more than they shipped the previous year.... which doesn't make any logical sense. The only thing that makes logical sense is if several million of those 16 million consoles sold are PS2 consoles.
Stating it is a fact that the DS has outsold the PS2 based on Vgchartz's numbers which are out of date as well as an article on the front page of this website which in itself is also completely based on these out of date numbers is completely and utterly asinine and deluded.
The PS2 has sold more than the DS, no amount of lying or moaning from other posters will change this fact.
