| LethalP said: Jesus Christ (our saviour), there are still people who pedal the notion that the PS2 sold so well because of it's DVD player. The thing reached 100 million units in 2005, by then Blu-ray players were out and DVD players were $40. It went on to sell another 55 million units after that, was that because it played DVD's or because it had by far the best game library of any console to date for cheap? I'd say the latter. |
Price and library were a factor for that last $50 Million, as you said.
In 
March 31, 2006 the PS2 was at 103.69 Million total WW.
In April 2006 the PS2 price was cut to $129.
With Price and library the PS2 outsold the PS3 for a few quarters in hardware (and sometimes software too).
