You read that headline right! It's not a typo, as Sony has released PS3 update 4.91 this Feb. 27 2024, and it does what players might expect.
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.
There are many worlds out there brimming with wondrous creatures ready to help you on your adventure beyond Pokemon.
Temtem is actually really good as a single player experience or as a co-op game. Played the shit out of it when it released
The PlayStation 4 features an array of variations and limited editions that have taken the gaming world by storm, delivering a diverse range of options to suit all preferences.
I am missing a couple NA variants. Namely the 500m Pro and the Last of Us 2 Pro. There are a few EU variants I would love to import. Namely the GT Sport slim, Spider-Man slim and the Star Wars Battlefront slim.
Of the ones i do have, I'd say my favorite design in each type is the MGS V original (although Batman and Battlefront come close), Days of Play 2018 slim and then the Death Stranding Pro.

Had the Battlefront 1 PS4 and the Death Stranding one.
Wish I snagged a 500m variant as its just 😍 but any second hand ones I've found are absolutely covered in scratches.
I almost ordered a 20th anniversary PS4, but held off... I did managed to score one of those 500 million PS4 Pros in 2018 and kept it until I used the money I made selling it to pay for my PS5 preorder in 2020
It says it is for an updated Blueray key but we all know its to also try and patch the exploits that were found in 4.90. And soon this one will be exploited and released as CFW 4.91
One day the PS3 is gonna be the most STABLE OS every created.
I think I might as well look into some Homebrew at this point. There's probably a cool scene on it.
I play my PS3 on a CRT @576i. There is a clear bug that Trophies aren't popping up once earned, you hear the noise, but they do not appear at the top right.
They are still supporting the PS3 that's one reason why people prefer Sony gaming.
I only finished Xenogears on it in January, nice to see it's still getting the ocassional update.
