Is that 160.6M even confirmed? As far as I know, the only real and confirmed thing about PS2's sales is the vague information that it sold more than 160M units.

According to Shawn Layden that PS2 picture is real with 160,636,885 units produced. Sold wise Sony has stated over 160 million, so the final total is somewhere between those two figures.

Shawn Layden confirmed this picture of what was "the last PS2 production unit" is legit

Now we know it produced 160.6M. Not all units in production will be shipped and Sony only confirmed 160.0M on their website. We know the PS3 had a production total of +88M yet only shipped 87.4M

I missed this back in December 2024. Geez, no wonder people mock Sony for taking PS2 numbers out of theirs sleeves every now and then. If this image was  true after all, why did they take so long to confirm it, then? Well, in the end, Shawn Layden is not working at Sony anymore so this information is not actually official.


Edit: Well one can make a point that VGChartz' numbers are also not official and we use it to discussion anyway..
