You don't know the difference between sales and shipments. I see that now. shipments does not mean sold to consumer. it means it was stocked by the retailer. As I told you, I know where you got that number from.

(tried to post the direct links but it just won't work. you can go to best selling PS2 games on Wikipedia where it says they shipped 1.24B software and an additional 297 software and click the citation links)

The units SOLD were the additional ~300 units, not the 1.24B which are shipments.

I run numerous sales threads and have been following vgcharts since 2010 (despite my registraion being 2011) You really debate my knowledge in sales and shipments and sold units ?

Even if you was true and the actual number reported was 1.24B and 300 more shipped it is obvious those 300 more would be sold at sometime. Which would again lead to final number of 1537.

However, whereever you try to search for PS2 software sales u can see 1.5B. Here is just one of the many many articles about the official report of Sony SELLING, not shipping that 1.5B in software - https://web.archive.org/web/20110322001816/http://asia.gamespot.com/news/6298857.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=newstop&tag=newstop%3Bstory%3B17.

Also keep in mind that this is from February 2011. By the time PS2 games really stopped selling in the stores - sometime in 2014 I guess the PS2 software can have reached even 1.6B or more. I know very good the difference of sold and shipped. I know also that whatever is shipped is becoming sold at sometime. Again though, this is not the reason I answered to your original comment, but because it's not right to bash at the success of any of the consoles. And this is not because I like playstation, or the PS2. In fact my favourite one is PS3. But even if you deny the success of average console like the XB360, or even Nintendo one if you want like 3DS, I would not agree with you, cuz there is no matter the sales, if the console is good or have proven itself to be somewhat of a success, it's not okay to downplay or deny it's achievements. Or even hate at whichever console, even the lower selling ones.
