Sold!
Cuz Sony is producing around 2million PS2s/month.

Sweet!!!
Even if the PS2 doesnt win the console war, its still gonna have a large user base so its still gonna get a lot of top quality games

sorry to break the bubble but sony metioned a few days ago that they shipped 17 million unts worldwide, not all of them are sold

Yes this is good news. Still a long way to go (PSX sold 70 million).

But it took the PSX a year to sell 1 million consoles, and yet it took about 1 month for the PS2 to do that so its on track

no it sold far more, more like 75 - 80 million, sony hasn\'t released new figures for a while so who knows?
but its good to see ps2 diong well, I couldn\'t have Imagined that the same time last year, with all the shortages etc. Many people in europe (including me) will be picking up a ps2, here in holland ps2 got much more popular after the price drop which is a good thing since it was always flamed here
-
Kirk Owen said that XBOX, NGC and PS2 would sell about 150 million units alltogether and that PS2 would sell over 50% of those..
Around 75-80million PS2s then :)
Some say 90million.. But you can never be sure.
I cant wait for MGS2! (and about 20 others ;) )

80-90million in 6 years!
Not bad :)
-
I cant believe that ps2 ahs been out for a year already. (almost a year)
-
Impressive!:eek:
-
You guys are wrong, may I point out, it is indeed shipped.
Sony rarely, if ever, states a sale through number, as a shipped number sounds more impressive.
Good only SOny.

Sony has been paid for those systems, so regardless of whether of not they have been sold to a consumer, they are sold from Sony\'s point of view. I imagine that anywhere from 15-16 million of those units have been sold to consumers already anyway. The 17 million number(shipped/sold whatever) was as of August 1st.
-
More in america then japan eh?
I always thought japan was bigger on games, and the ps2 was out in japan for months before america.
-
Yeah, but it\'s on track to get 70 million without any competition. As soon as xbox and GC are released those numbers will slow.
My point was that people are short sighted. One year of sales isn\'t that much. It\'s what happens after that matters. The PS2 is looking good right now because it had no competition. Another thing, why do you think Sony released those numbers now? It\'s no coincidence that the GC and xbox are being released very shortly. Also, these number aren\'t reliable. In the 16bit era, Sega and Nintendo exaggerated all the time about their numbers.
The PS2 has undoubtedly sold millions of consoles, but I think 18 million is a little optimistic.
All we can say for sure is that the PS2 isn\'t going anywhere anytime soon.
Also, the point about it taking the PSX 1 year to sell 1 million means nothing because it is a vastly larger market now than it was 6 years ago.
Who the hell is Kurt Owen?
-
Even if the numbers are exaggerated and i seriously doubt they are too much if at all because what the big difference betwn a couple million when you are talking about 15-17
just kidding - well kinda just kidding
but anyway its impressive numbers and thats what makes it hard to believe
-
I got a question about the data. Why don\'t they count the sale from some eastern places like Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippine, etc? There are millions of people in those countries and if we include those countries as well, wouldn\'t the sale number reaches 20 mill? A lot of my friends who are living in those countries have got a PS2 too.
-
No clue on why. Maybe they are just not a big market for PS2s (if they do effect the numbers, they might add another half a million, instead of a million).
But, I seriously don\'t know.
Anyways, shipped or sold, these are still good numbers. Now, if they are shipped. not a s good as sold, but even then, I\'m expecting, 15 or so million sold through since I doubt there are 3 million-7 million sitting in store selves and warehouses (though, they probably are stacking up for the holidays though [which, unless things improve, its not going to be a very happy one for any company]).
-
These numbers ARE the number of consoles SOLD..
Sony is making 2million consoles/month so the number of shipped units would and is much higher..

hahahaha. how about a real link? You know, an established videogame magazine or site? Not this Swedish BS. it shouldn\'t be too hard.
It\'s no mystery that a Swedish journalist could mistranslate something from an AMERICAN site.

Whats up duck? You are getting more and more hostile for every new post you do. We don´t laugh at you so please dont laugh at us. You asked Fastson a question he answered and gave you a link, and still you laugh at him, why?

It\'s even more funny how you misinterpreted his words.

Ok well.... This is certainly turning a little strange...
I dunno... Lets just think with these being shipped..... Since we have no sources other than one.
But if this is true.... It\'s mighty impressive.Impressive!:eek:
Yes, past ajoh432.... Very.:D
-
What a certain village idiot does not realize is that ship does in-fact = sold.
Sony sells every single piece of hardware to retailers such as BestBuy for example...it\'s their job to sell the hardware.
Now, if said hardware sells, they will order more from Sony...
Get it yet? Shipped=Sold

Riiight.. LOL

Hey thats fine with me fastson, I am not trying to convert you into being intelligent about your arguments. Take MY link as you will, it is an established WORLD videogames site, while yours is not visited outside of Europe, and even then, probably not outside of Sweden.
Give me a break, don\'t start this stupid crap if you can\'t back it up, I was correct, you were undoubtedly incorrect, along with the scientist, Bossieman, gee imagine that.
Eric Jacob

boys boys...unless its with Jumpman, lets not fight amongst our own ranks
bleh...ok, we all know that its not going to happen :)
-
Ill let you have this one AlteredBeast.. I know it doesn’t happen to you very often.. ;)
(j/k)
Im not here to diss anyone..
Papa Bob has brought me up well.. No violence is the way to go :D
Right father Bob?
Btw.. August 2001?? Hmm.. Old news?
-
gah! it seams every thread i participate in goes off topic and turns to spam :(
but..uhh...yes, its right...i guess...i dunno
-
not off-topic, just correction in the main idea of the thread. Everyone was celebrating 17.9 million sold, while I corrected it.
You can still celebrate 17.9 million consoles shipped, don\'t let me stop you.
Yeah yeah!!! Sony!!! pump out those consoles! Good job!!
isn\'t that the main reason for this thread? to pat ourselves on the back for buying PS2s? thought so.
Eric Jacob
-
well, personally i agree with Altered...and as i pointed out in another thread on the same topic, i think it would be in the order of 15 - 17 million sold
its hard to keep track of every single one SOLD...otherwise thery would have exact number, not estimates
-

Nop..
Its to celebrate that PS2 is still selling very well..
If it wouldn’t the developers would desert it.. That wouldn’t be very good..
More units=more good games.. and more games overall. (Both chitty and good.. But hey.. No one is forcing you to buy em ;) )
Im sure if these news were about the Xbox or DC.. You\'d be celebrating as much as we are..
So.. Now.. More champagne anyone?? :eyemouth:
-
We don\'t need to post a thread of this type to inform developers that PS2 has shipped 17.9 million consoles. In fact, the whole idea of reporting a system sell-through number is designed in 2 ways.
1) To encourage people that believe \'x\' system will fail to purchase \'x\' system.
2) to make people think it is hopeless for all other consoles to beat it
3) to pat yuorself on the back for owning one.
Share My Excitement!!! yay!
This thread is as dumb as if I was to say "Microsoft has just built their 422,000 console, yippee!"
Eric Jacob
-
nope threads like these are only dumb if its a console you wish wasn\'t on top
Its self explanatory
-
huh? run that by me again?

Ddaryl is right. But things could change drastically. In a market that is expected to grow by 50 million gamers, 17 million consoles isn\'t that impressive. New and more people will be playing games and they won\'t be previous Sony console owners just as some of the PSX gamers weren\'t traditional console players. The majority of the PS2\'s have been sold to Sony fans not those 50 million new gamers. Those 50 million gamers are up for grabs.

Yeah your right by the Time the X box comes out, every PS2 in the World Will Be traded in all 17 million of them for X box\'s, and good old Billy will have the CEO of Sony Wipped naked through the streets of LA.............

-

So you only bought a PS2 because everyone else did? That\'s what it sounds like.

I don\'t think that was directed towards me, but I\'ll answer it anyways. I bought a PS2 because I was so happy with my PSX purchase. I had faith in Sony after their 32 bit generation success. I also like the games that were coming out to it. Some of them were dissapointing (The Bouncer), but for the most part I was very happy with my PS2 purchase. And this fall makes me even happier. :D
Why did you buy a PS2 DirectXbox?

I\'m starting to question the credibility of Sonyweb and Gamerweb. IGN posted these exact figures last week, yet they were consoles shipped. I think Sonyweb is just bending the truth a little to make its readers happy.
And I think they got that Jet Set Radio Future coming to the PS2 info from Magic Lamp (Err, Magic something. I can\'t quite remember the name.) More than half the PS2 sites out there have reported this news, but I won\'t believe it until it\'s posted on IGN.
