| Soundwave said: The PS2 is a paper champion anyway, it doesn't deserve the title it has. The only reason is has the record is because Sony bungled the PS3 and kept shipping PS2s in developing countries for years afterwards. It took PS2 11 years to hit 150 million (Feb 14, 2011 according to Sony), the DS and Switch are both way above that, the PS2 isn't able to match prime for prime DS or Switch 1 sales, that's simply a fact, it needed to be dragged across the finish line with several extra years of sales. The Switch hit 150 million at its 8th year anniversary, 8 years vs 11 years is a laughable gap, that's not even close. |
"It doesn't deserve it", says who, you? It's one of the most beloved consoles ever made with one of the best gaming libraries of all time. It absolutely deserves the title it has.
You can argue all day about made up scenarios of what Nintendo didn't do with the DS or what they're going to do with the Switch, but none of that is relevant. The DS felt short of the 160m milestone. The Switch is not there yet. Like it or not, the PS2 is still the best selling console ever made, and deservedly so.
