With all the recent threads on how awesome the sales of the new 360S are, i thought it be nice to spread the love, to a console which despite being tossed aside and marked as last gen, sure has had an awesome Next Gen!

wow ps2 has outsold 360? seriously shocking

Cool comparisons.....I never knew the PS2 has outsold the 360 this gen.

 Anyways by the end of the year 360 should be in front.  But still, dang good numbers for the PS2

ahah that's pretty awesome. It surely will stay the highest selling console for a very long time.

GO PLAYSTATION!

:o wow PS2! best console ever for a reason. 

Imagine if SONY waited releasing the PS3 for another year or two. It would be horrible for the PS3, but PS2 sales would be even higher.

I agree, quite shocking.. or atleast something you never really stop to think about. Everyone is so focused on "this gen" consoles.

Most likely.. the 360 has been closing the gap rapidly, for obvious reasons. And will take 2nd place this year :)

Sony probably cut the PS2's life short a year too soon. They probably ought to have released the PS3 in 2007!
