The PlayStation 2 (PS2) stands as a singularly iconic achievement in the realm of video game hardware. The company’s gross sales figures stand firm in supporting this claim, particularly given the console’s reputation for being the best-selling of all time, with ongoing updates further solidifying its position.
Until recently, the PS2’s officially reported global sales figures stood at around 155 million units, but in an earlier statement this year, former PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan revealed that the console had actually sold 160 million units worldwide. According to a newly launched PlayStation timeline website, Sony has officially confirmed the milestone, revealing the impressive sales figures in the section dedicated to the PS2 on their online platform.
The PlayStation 2 (PS2) remains the best-selling video game console of all time, solidifying its position as a gaming powerhouse by selling an additional five million units compared to previously reported official figures. As of September’s end, the Nintendo DS ranks second with more than 154 million units sold, followed closely by the Nintendo Switch, which has exceeded 146 million units sold to date.
While The Swap’s momentum might plateau temporarily, it’s intriguing to speculate whether or not it will eventually surpass the PS2’s impressive sales record.
