Sony sold 140 million PS2s

Sony has revealed that more than 140 million PlayStation 2s have been sold worldwide, as the console marks its ninth anniversary.

First unleashed on the world on 26 October 2000, one in every three US households now owns one of the consoles while 485 development studios have produced almost 10,000 titles for the format.

500 million games have been sold on PS2, while SOCOM has been one of its most successful franchises, racking up 530 million hours of online play - that's 60,000 years of online play.

Happy Birthday, old friend. Try not to gather too much dust.

Sony destroyed everything with the PS2, they got cocky about the PS3. But you know they're starting to build up again.

People still put up with RRODs and YLODs, some things never change.

Same with the 3-6-OH

Ah, Sony's last great console; the PS2!

And it continues to sell... should be a safe enough lead to keep the Wii from stealing its position as the top-selling home console system.

All hail the KING!!! even though the NES, and SNES were awesome console nothing compares to the PS2.

So, the new 'wait til,...' for the PS3 is 'wait til year 9 for great sales'?

And pretty much no one is making software for it anymore. It would be nice if it got the same support now that it did during its mid-life.

Though honestly, I thought the PS2/Wii multiplat strategy would last a bit longer than it actually did.

Sure. Just like a crap load of the PS3's sales were for a cheap blu-ray player.

It depends on how much you like JRPGs and don't play the Xbox/PC. If you don't like JRPGS and have another console then the PS2's benefits are greatly diminished.

The PS2 was the worst console I owned. PS3 may top it.

Ps2 = 1 or 2 for a household

Ds= piece of crap that everyone in a household will have, its a handheld not a console. Its not meant to be shared
