Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) President and CEO Jim Ryan has confirmed that PlayStation 2 sales reached a staggering 160 million units sold worldwide.
The soon-to-be-retired gaming boss offered an updated figure during a chat on a recent episode of the Official PlayStation Podcast. The conversation saw him covering his time at Sony while talking about the company’s direction for the future.
When asked about what the 2000s brought to mind, Ryan responded with, “The 2000s? That would be, I would say, 160 million, which is the number of PS2s that we sold. A high watermark.”
The ps2/ps3 era so many dam good games and then you got the online im sure i am not the only one with a ps2 network disc that still works and the modem/lan deal for the ps2.
Great consoles all around
The game library of the PS2 speaks for itself. These sales are absolutely well deserved. PS2 is still arguably the best game console of all time.
So odd that the number is suddenly higher than previously thought right as the Switch is closing in on the long standing record.
The PS2 had a phenomenal library of games for every genre. It’s unfortunate we’re never going to witness something like that again.
So he just came up with this fact all these years later??? I wonder if it has to do with the Switch closing in on the PS2 lifetime sales? How convenient.
The Nerd Stash: "After a decade, Aurum Vale is still regarded as the worst dungeon in FFXIV. Still, it is a rite of passage for new players."
Deadly Premonition is a pretty weird game, but all of these absolute oddities are even weirder.
Reach to save 360.
