Anyone has the corresponding quarterly numbers of the PS2? After all, that console was also selling very late into it's life cycle, though in this case mostly due to the disastrous launch of the PS3

In cases like these you can always check my Historical Consoles Showdown.

The shipped numbers on the PS2 after it's second calendar quarter (ending June 2007, if you meant the same time on the market as Switch) was 120.5M so give it or take it ~20M behind. The quarter numbers were 2.66M. For reference the DS corresponding period (holiday aligned) was April to June 2012 quarter which was 530k, and it's lifetime to date were 152M.

That's the one I was looking for, I didn't know exactly which was the corresponding quarter, so I got a bit confused in that chart. Thanks a lot for the clarification.

So basically in the corresponding quarter to the Switch the PS2 not only outsold the Switch (which was a bit to be expected considering the PS2's extremely long tail), but also the PS5's current quarter, which was certainly not to be expected
