Cool story.

It’s very possible that it did between 160-162m.

Final number without confirmation will very almost impossible to know.

We still seeing the usual “it sold because it was the cheapest DVD available” or the “it sold that well due to piracy” statements.

All in all, huge success for Sony with its 1.5+ Billion games sold.

Well it will only be the best selling console for a few years more, since Switch will most likely beat it

It's wild Switch still has no price cut 7 years later

I think vgchartz knows PS2's numbers better than Sony themself

Yesterday 158
Today 160
Tomorrow 162

Her post doesn't bring anything of substance to the table and she even says as much herself. Every sentence in her first paragraph contains either "I could very well be wrong" or an "I think." It's guessing based on hearsay.

Jim rayn isn't a credible source either, because otherwise people would care to spell his name correctly.

Well deserved - one of the best game consoles of all time.
