Wait what!?! PS2 has been shipping until April 1, 2023? 
Why does this unironically end on April Fools Day? lol

Ok, that is a long lifetime, have they been producing?
Sony said they stopped production and discontinued the PS2 as of January 4th, 2013.
How have they been shipping for the past 10 years?

Relax. He obviously meant April 1, 2013. Just a typo.

And yes it was officially discountinued January, however it was shipped and officially included (or counted at least internally by Sony) in the fiscal report for the quarter ending on 31.03.2013, That's why he is saying April 1st. So yeah You can tell that shipments of PS2 officially ended in the first calendar quarter of 2013.

An unwanted April's fool. Thank you XtremeBG for the correction of the typo. Still, 2013 was the year the PS4 launched! I call that very impressive for the PS2!
