The best thing is 5 years down the line those people who are buying PS2's now will most probably get a Ps3 as an ideal upgrade.

This PS2's prolonged success is only going to help the Ps3 later on

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

I think that they should announce a special version of PS2.

Like, "Playstation 2 Spirit". Make a way to increase hardware power and be able to upscale all games in 720p through a HDMI port. Also a XMB menu would be nice, with HDD support(maybe included).

If they manage to make a hardware able to upscale PS2 like PC emulators do(the results are pretty good actually) then it will be a success.



this should give people an idea about the future ps3 sales. They will keep going for a loooooooooooong time even after the start of the next gen

It's called making a backwards compatible PS3



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

Probably, these numbers were known a few months ago.  So it might even be inching toward 151 million lol. 

No worries though.  It'll pass it soon enough.  Good effort by PS2 to stay in the lead though, it's a tough little guy!



Luke has combined production shipments with shipment shipments (the former is produced PS2s in factories). The shipment shipments are 149.7m - I base this on press releases BKK2 found showing that as of March 2009, PS2 shipments were lower than production shipments by several million units. In other words adding production shipments to shipments counts 2-3m PS2s twice.

Either way, with PS2 shipping 1m plus per quarter still, it likely has topped 150m as of the end of January. That said - Sony will have a press release when its official. They had one at 120m and at 100m - no reason not to at 150m.

If Sony had data showing 150m PS2s it'd be here - http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/index_e.html

Moreover, we have 136.3m units sell in as of Dec 2008 (note at the bottom)

Since then (Jan 2009 - Dec 2010): 13.9m

So I get about 150.1m from this as of the end of Dec 2010, and I had 149.7m. Hmm I must have a mistake somewhere
