Is the grass greener on the other side? Having put up with the Xbox for many years now, I’m starting to wonder whether I should have kept my temper, and my patience, in check and held out for the arrival of the Playstation 3.
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.

How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?
There is no wrong horse, they all have their ups and ups.
Going to have to pick up a coke habit to dispose of all your disposable income?
...Or you could just buy the Playstation you've been kicking yourself for not buying over the course of 5 years...
I love the part where he writes that he isn't a long term planner and he is more like a guns blazing burn the bridges kind of guy and yet he wrote that he doesn't like "mindless" games like Gears of War and Halo.
I think he doesn't know what he likes :D
i agree with Halo being over-hyped but so is killzone. i can't stand neither.
Its good to have both. Not everyone can but if ur lucky or can afford both Id go for it. My 360 is mostly for online play as most of my friends own a 360 and its eaiser to connect with them thru it. MY PS3 is for the wide genre of exclusives it has. However I cannot back the wii cause there is just too few games I want to play on it so I borrow it from my friend or just play at their house.
