The PS2 was sold at 69€99 at the end of its life lmao

$99 PS2 was competing with $49 Gamecube and $149 Xbox. Good times.

But those 3 cheap consoles combined could only barely top 200m.

Good point, it's amazing if you think about it.

PS2 managed to sell +160M in a market that could barely surpassed 200M consoles.

Same goes for PS1, +100M in a market of ~150M.

Imho, much more impressive than "theoretical" Switch 160M in a market of +300M (Switch+PS5+Series) consoles.
