 Why? What did it ever do to you?

I love my old ps2... Ah the memories... Oh Wait! I still use it :P

ALL INCORRECT

the confusion Sony causes with the Bullshit that comes out of their mouths almost causes me pain.... I have had to repeat this so many fucking times. (I am not aiming this outrage at you directly, it is not your fault I have to repeat this it is Sonys)

All three of those sources you stated took their information from the same interview/quote from the same Sony empolyee.... what thet employee said was incorrect.

Go here: http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps2_e.html

The very bottom right number is how many PS2s were "shipped" (this was Sony's old method, so it includes consoles that were sent as replacements and not sold to retailers... what we here on VGC refer to as shipped, is what Sony calls "sold", which means sold to retailers.).

That number is 117.89 million which is up to March 2007.

To find the numbers for sold to retail go here: http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps2_sale_e.html

On that page you can see the number of PS2s sold to retail fo the last 2 1/4 years, ignore the 2006 data because the other number already includes that. The 13.73 is what was sold to retail in the year ending March 31st 2008. then the 1.51 is what was sold to retail in the last quarter.

Add all three numbers together and you get 133.13 (I was wrong about it being just under 132)

but like I said.... that 117.89 million figure includes all PS2s produced from launch to March 2007.... and because the early model PS2s were so unreliable, I think a minimum of 5 million of that number will be replacements, possibly near 10 million.... it's basically as if Microsoft added any replacement RROD machines onto their figures (they don't btw).

Don't trust vg charts to be exact. The ps2 has already passed 140 million... VG chartz does not track EVERY STORE in the world.

Yes, PS2 is a beast, enough sales after nearly 8 years to keep Sony's gaming division from being a disaster. I love that console still, so many people are going to remember the PS1 and 2 as the console that got them into gaming.

Oh my god I want to hit you.

Read my post above yours.

SONY THEMSELVES HAVE ONLY REPORTED 133 MILLION SHIPMENTS..... AND THAT HAPPENS TO INCLUDE REPLACEMENT CONSOLES FOR FAULTY EARLY MODELS.

And you are correct, VGC does not track every store in the world... in fact they don't directly track very many at all (I believe about 5% in Japan... not sure about other regions) the rest are extrapolated.

@TWRoO -- It does NOT include replacements ...
SONY used to track manufactured PS2's sitting warehouses that retailers had ordered. Now they the track PS2's that that have left the warehouses and are headed to retailers.

Over 133 million PS2's have been shipped to retail. Therefore PS2 should be around 129 - 130 million sold worldwide.

The 140 million figure was an estimate / based on internal data -- SONY plan on shipping 9 million PS2's this year -> which means they are aiming for 140 million PS2's shipped as of March 2009... the SCE guy made a mistake saying it was for now...

 I guess gamedaily slept through the entire RRoD period, forgot about disk read errors, and the other various problems.

Best selling last and current generation console.
