Sony Ships 150m PS2s Worldwide as of early 2011

VGC: "Sony has assuredly topped 150m PS2s through January 2011. This makes PS2 the first system to top 150m units of hardware worldwide. DS will be there by the end of 2011, but for now, Sony's dominant system of the 2000-2006 is still rather easily the biggest system of all time. With PS1 at only 102.5m units and Wii just at 85m, no home console should touch PS2 figures for years. Moreover, as Sony is still shipping 1-2m units per quarter in developing markets, the system has not only topped 150m, but can still top 160m units if the modest declines from the current 6-7m level can continue for at least another half year. In fact if PS2 is at 153m or more by the end of June 2011, 160m is going to be passed rather easily."

Amazing and at the price they have it rite now i don't see it dying off so soon.

PS2 = most successful console ever

Istanbull4878d ago (Edited 4878d ago )

PS2 is far from dead, after 10 f*cking years, it still manages to sell 6 million consoles a year.

Expect this number to grow as PS2 is being introduced to emerging markets at a cheap price.

I think Sony underestimated the lifetime of the PS2, they need to extent it to atleast 15 years.

siyrobbo4878d ago (Edited 4878d ago )

11 years, first released march 2000

insane

BattleAxe4878d ago

CONGRADULATIONS SONY!! I have such great memories from my PS2 days.

malandra4878d ago

but how many are sold? hum?

because if we use the same logic that xbots use to downplay PS3's sales then this must really be around 60-70 million

Masterchef20074878d ago

Sony only ships to retailers when retailers demand consoles from sony. And that only happens when the stocks are low. So yes the PS2s are still selling cause sony is still shipping them. Its buisness logic

klado4878d ago

Xbobs are delusionals, there is ur answer mate.

Convas4878d ago

Glad I was one of those sales. Truly one of the best gaming experiences of my life.

Rage_S904878d ago

the statement above me is true

ugo4878d ago (Edited 4878d ago )

"greatest console ever made" even Mario and patcher can testify to this

Dark_Charizard4878d ago

Sorry but you're talking about NES

SuperKing4878d ago

NES was good but PS2 is better.

Kon4878d ago

Nintendo fanboy opinions don't count

Istanbull4878d ago

Why would you say NES? PS2 is the most sold console ever, it has also the best games ever made.

BattleAxe4878d ago

My most favorite consoles to this day are the NES, PS2 and PS3. These are the platforms that define what gaming really is.

Anime Games Need A Break From Arena Fighters

With so many anime games these past couple of years, there's a growing, noticeable pattern in these games that are growing stale — the Arena Fighter.

Huey_My_D_Long1d 15h ago

I think Arena Fighters are the worst fighting subgenre to go to. Why havent the west gotten Shonen Jump games in the style of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2? Or Anime fighter like DBZ Fighterz but not just dragon ball? Arena Fighters just arent very good fighter imo. Even the best Arena Fighter series Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm I feel is pretty mediocre as a fighting game

Nasty_Neeeks39m ago

The best Arena Fighter was Tenkaichi 3 and now it’s about to be Sparking Zero. Other Anime series just can’t pull it off as well as Dragonball can

Skuletor8m ago

Have you seen Hunter×Hunter Nen×Impact yet? It sounds exactly like what you're looking for.

-Foxtrot1d 13h ago

We need more AAA anime games that are single player story driven, like you are experiencing another arc or something within that show. It's either fighting games or games that feel shallow with not much going for them, the kind which are made for the sake of it because the fanbase will eat it up anyway.

I want to see a proper well made game by great studios of Cowboy Bebop, Tenchi Muyo, Sailor Moon, Dirty Pair Flash etc

blackblades10h ago

One piece is that one of the anime thats not Pokemon and digimon that ive seen that has plenty of games outside of fighting.

Michiel19895h ago

dragon ball, naruto had some pretty good ones although a lot of them are still fighters and I think there are plenty of games from lesser known animes that aren't that, but I haven't really kept up with anime so maybe I'm completely wrong.

S2Killinit14h ago

I would like a pokemon smash style anime inspired games.

Flewid63812h ago

The entire fighting game genre needs a break from anime.

Why I Can't Get Enough Of Shadow Of The Colossus

PRIMORDUS1d 2h ago

Shadow of the Colossus and Ico should be remade in UE5. I know Shadow of the Colossus was in 2018 but I say remake both of them for PS5 and PC.

isarai22h ago

The remake and Blupoints in house engine is more impressive as a whole than anything ive seen from UE5 so far. Id rather they stick to their own engine.

Cacabunga5h ago

SoTC doesn’t need another remake.. last one was awesome

PRIMORDUS3h ago

Fine let it be Bluepoints engine. The whole point I was trying to make was I would love them both to be remade for PC since the PC never had them to begin with (I threw in PS5) and now that Sony is bringing over their games it would be awesome.

FinalFantasyFanatic17h ago

I wouldn't mind a PC port even though I own it on PS4, it really doesn't need a remake though.

DarXyde1d 2h ago

Shadow of the Colossus is kind of a perfect game, at least to me.

Man, this has me nostalgic. I know how I'm spending my Sunday evening.

robtion18h ago

It's really timeless. Put SOTC together with The Last Guardian and ICO and you have one amazing trilogy. I think Fumito Ueda is a genuine auteur.

chicken_in_the_corn1d 2h ago

I tried the remake but couldn't get into it. Time to give it another go.

Elda1d 2h ago

I tried both versions of the game & I can never get past the 4th boss.

Inverno1d ago

Well if anyone else can't get enough of this game you should check out Project Tribute. Basically a fan remake with all the cut colossi for PC.

isarai22h ago

HOLY CRAP!!! why have i mever heard of this?! They even got the worm! Of all the cut ones the worm was the most fascinating to me

Why Metal Gear Solid 3 is the Best Prequel Ever Made

With Metal Gear Solid Delta on its way, we look back to see how the original Snake Eater is the foundation on which the entire Metal Gear series is built and is without doubt the greatest prequel ever made.

just_looken2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

The fact you can kill the end by either changing your console clock or my way when he is on the dock is such a cool Easter egg.

My video/play through i time coded the part of end getting killed at the dock
https://www.youtube.com/liv...

The river scene with ocelot's dad will also change depending on your kill count
https://www.youtube.com/liv...

So many things that can change on each playthrough

Oh also the iconic ladder scene always a classic
https://www.youtube.com/liv...

just_looken2d ago

wait are people upset i gave out spoilers on a 20 year old ps2 game?

Like for real this was on top of alot of charts for sales with so many different versions

SimpleDad2d ago

There are many people (new) that didn't experience the game dude.

just_looken2d ago

It's 20 years old man these new "gamers" are weak

No one here ever turn on a history channel or go to school there are scary spoilers there too.

Getting hate for talking about a 20year old game on a comment section with a article that talks about the 20year old game with spoilers in the article

" original Snake, aka Big Boss, whose DNA was used to create the clones Solid, Liquid and Solidus"

Quick call 911 IGN spoiled the game

Chard1d 23h ago

Wait til he realises there are people born years after MGS3 released who are now getting into mature gaming

just_looken1d 21h ago

@chard

I was watching robocop before i grew chest hair are you seriously saying people only play M rated games after they turn 17?

Chard1d 21h ago (Edited 1d 21h ago )

@just_looken
That’s not what I’m saying at all.
Im referring to the weird conclusion you jumped to, which is that anyone who hasn’t played MGS3 by now took too long and are also weak for being bothered by spoilers this long after the original release.

Plenty of people without chest hair will try this remake as their first exposure to MGS3. It’s not somebody’s fault or weakness if they were born in 2010 and had better things to do than play MGS3 prior to this remake. The world doesn’t revolve around you

Aphrodia1d 10h ago

And no one who hasn't played this game yet will know what the hell he's referring too. sensitive, delicate, snowflake.....

Have an agree, if people haven't bothered playing a 20 year old game and get mad at spoilers then they should stay out of enthusiast posts.

just_looken1d 21h ago

Right and this article has series/game spoilers

Yui_Suzumiya2d ago

I'll call the WHAMBULANCE for the down voters, lol

just_looken1d 21h ago

Right? like wow perhaps i should post about the gta 3 story in the next article get hate there for spoiling that game.

SimpleDad1d 23h ago (Edited 1d 23h ago )

You really are something. Not only does a world turn around you, but you also are sensitive to 5 dislikes.
Who is weak now?
All remakes are done to bring in a new audience and make new money.
Why would you spoil a game or any kind of media for whatever reason If You experienced it?

Ohhh for your Youtube channel... there it is.

Jesus... imagine if someone commented your gameplay. Badly...

My boys will experience this remake for the first time.

just_looken1d 22h ago

1. Its not the dislikes its many post's on this site and other's always the haters or like you mad about spoilers on old old games.

2. My youtube channel is older that most "gamers" today i lost alot of vids do too youtube bots and yourself has no proof even playing any of the games so go ahead post away on stuff you have no idea how to play.

3. My header is real i used to make a few k or more a month or more with mahcinima when bf/gta/halo/world of tanks were in there prime.Now there is just few vids here there

MeteorPanda1d 22h ago

love it.

Just remember while this game came out years ago, theres a whole generation f gamers who would have never played it. it wasn't current for them.

So the remasters are aimed at bringing in new fans of the franchise, posting these may spoil it for some.

just_looken1d 21h ago

The article literally has spoilers in it who the boss's kid is the eva relationship and entire series information you only get by playing the games.

VersusDMC2d ago

Personally DMC3 is my favorite prequel. MGS3 is top 3 though next to Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.

Kinda surprised Red Dead 2 isn't IGN's pick for best prequel.

just_looken2d ago

Its red dead revolver red dead redemption red dead redemption 2

I am still waiting for a way to turn off kingdom hearts looping music but the collection is cheap on amazon for those wanting 2 play the games.

franwex2d ago

My favorite prequel is Yoshi’s Island.

Yui_Suzumiya2d ago

Dan Salvato's favorite game to speed run

purple1011d 6h ago

thats a real gamer there, someone who plays a hack'n'slash, a stealth, and an aRPG. * claps hands *

Yui_Suzumiya2d ago

Definitely not arguing that 😁

mastershredder1d 21h ago

Ever? So much nopes to this. Also, IGN licks feat for $.
