"These are new PS2's being made for expanding markets" - There is no evidence of that. None. We have no idea how many PS2's soney has PRODUCED, only roughly how many are SHIPPED. So the thing is , it could still be discountinued, and still be shipping.  They have been making this console for over ten years, they very well could have a large stockpile by now, thats the thing, we dont know.

That's impossible.


No it is not. I am sorry but it seems you fail to realize that shipping and production are not the same thing. 

Hypothetical example: I  rent a pizza oven and make 100 pizzas then freeze them, I sell and ship one pizza a week for one hundred weeks. My pizza has not been in production since day one, however I am still shipping them one hundred weeks later.I Have discotinued production of pizza but am still happy to sell you those that have already been produced.

Thats the way it could be! But that is something some fanatics try to deny!
@cookingyourmama
You really belive some source that does not even post exact PS2 numbers but you do not even want to inform yourself on the phone?? For me that sounds like you are afraid that i am right!

This is no fight! Can´t you see that people here are insanly trying to defend a dead console, just because they can´t get over the Fact the DS will be number one in a few months? I remember an insane dictator in the 1945 who tried to convince people that "the war was not lost"! We know how it ended! You know what i am speaking about!

Does someone know how much did the PS2 SOLD until TODAY?



killer7 on 22 December 2012

The PS2 cannot be UP YOY in 2012 when everything else is down! We would know that!

@killer7

Well then I guess the PS2 is about 155m by now.OF COURSE the PS2 would never be up YOY in 2012.That's impossible for 12 years old console.BTW was the PS2 already discontinued this year?

Don't you think that comparison is a bit off? You're discussing the sales of two consoles, bringing Hitler into the game really isn't necessary.

Let them do Carl, let them emberass themselves when Sony announces 160m ps2s shipped next year or the year after.

Well, if he's saying he is like Hitler when he said the war is not lost, then his comparison works.  The PS2 will most likely outship the DS this year, which when dealing with consoles that are this old and have low demand is almost like sell-through to customer.  Max each one would have on shelves is ~500K, most likely lower, though.  Next year, the max DS could do is tie the PS2.  And the following year, either the DS will be discontinued or they both will, I'm guessing the latter.  Basically, the PS2 will remain the #1 selling console of all time, even if it hurts some people to admit it.
