I can't believe people are still buying PS2s :O

OT: I predict 145 million at best.

At E3 in July 2008 Sony revealed the PS2 had passed 140 million worldwide, it sold 28 million the last two fiscal years, that's well more than for example the 360 sold in over 3 years. It also outsold the PS3 and 360 to retail the last reported quarter.

I think 145 million would be at the very low end of expectations, I think there's still a lot of sales potential in weaker and emerging economies (huge library of budget games for example).

The 140m was a mistake, it should've been 130m. Anyway, PS2 was at 133.8m through last quarter.

Unbelievable.
I have yet to meet a person in my life who hasn't played a PS2.

 lol, true.



 

 

 

 

It already shipped 140 million so it's definitely gonna sell more then 140. So I'd say the PS2 has 2 years left of being in production so they'll probably ship another 15 million in that 2 years.

So 155 million sounds reasonable.
