Sony: 10 Million Satisfied customers...

People people ! please calm down !

Even if this is "Shipped" or Sold unit\'s it is still a Highly impressive figure for the first year.

FFS the Playstation took a full year to acheve 1 million units world wide.

Well Done SONY
This news has nothing to do with the X box when when you think that they are aimed at to seprate markets.

P.S.

i am Glad that i am one of those 10 million or so with one .

I am not sticking up for anyone here but If I everyone else is posting pro-Sony propaganda and I do not think they are as god-like as most make them out to be, I will voice my opposition. If I were to say something like "Sony\'s PS2 is not designed that well" in a thread that already has a pro-PS2 slant. I will be looked upon as a fanboy. Even if my statement has a little bit of truth to it. I guess its just the nature of the beast.

BTW, I don\'t know how you can say someone is anti-something if they purchase that same something.

I was talking to Docwiz er Dwarrior I mean not to Altered Beast.

 

Sony has not lied per se. They are saying shipped but many of you assume and still believe that means sold. All of the companies do that and it is hard for the gamer newbies to swallow.

Thanks for agreeing with me.Dwarrior said Sony lied.
Its not Sony\'s fault if people assume wrongly.

What I believe they were talking about is Sony telling stores to take Xbox displays down or they will not recieve any more PS2s. That is kind of a shady business tactic and I believe it is illegal. Nintendo recently did the same thing but they were telling companies to put the Xbox displays down and focus on what is available now, Mainly the PS2 and GBC.

This has nothing to do with Bill Gates\' or MS fame still.Is that the reason why some people hate MS and Bill Gates or call him an anti-christ?Nope.
Does anyone hate Sony or call Kutaragi an anti-christ after MS bribed Munch Odyssee\'s developers??

Yes Stanzo, you nailed it on the head.  Why he hasn\'t been banned again is beyond me.  Probably because he only appears when he has something negative to say in a way so he can somehow polish MS\' balls.  Still though, he\'s hilarious to keep around because he bashes brand names rather then anything else.  "I hate Sony because I played their games a LONG time ago at E3, but I refuse to try them again because there\'s no way they can get better."  If he went by that logic, then Gamestock would be the opitime of the X-Box\'s hardware and why he hasn\'t lost faith in them is beyond me.  Another double standard you can track there eh AlteredFeast?

I\'m just gonna add some small comments this this thread.

-There is a differenced between units shipped and units sold. There is definately not 10 million PS2 owners out there yet. I see a lot of PS2s still sitting on the shelves.

-Satisfied? A good percentage of the people who own a PS2 are not satisfied and have had major hardware problems with them. There is not 10 million satisfied PS2 owners.

-Docwiz, please leave. Don\'t you have a wife and kids( shrudders)? Spend some more time with them and leave us out of your pathetic life.

  You are totally right AlteredBeast.  Those numbers are the units shipped to the stores and not the numbers that were actually sold.  Out of the numbers that were sold, most of them were sold as DVD players.

  As much as you all hate Microsoft and say they lie.  Sony has blinded a lot of you into believing that they are sinless like Jesus Christ, when they are really like the Anti-Christ.

  I don\'t think there are as many compulsive liars in this industry like Sony.  They doctor most of almost every shot to either be Full Motion Video or to be renders (kind of like Microsoft is the only one that is supposed to be doing this) and they constantly outright lie about their numbers.

  Of course if Sony lies and such its gotta be okay right?  Its okay to be brainwashed, right?

  Am I bitter?  No way, but you know what?  I am no fool either and most of you that are loyal to sony are actually blinded by your love for this company and can\'t see the real truth of whats going on...

   Sony keeping Microsoft out of the retail market, sure thats fair right?  sure....  If it was Microsoft doing the same you all would be saying Monopoly, but yet Sony makes everything under the sun, from watches and to alarm clocks to gaming software, to music, but somehow people are silent... hmmmmm  gotta love double standards....

unbelievable, Not one thing in this quote matters. Its all about having fun playing videogames, and Sony has provided that in spades. Everything above has nothing to do with facts.


Its ok to be brainwashed, looks who talking open your eyes son just a tad, let just a little light in

Sony keeping MS out of the retail market?????  Lay off the crack man, Nintendo is the one that issued a letter regarding XBox advertising 10 months in adavanced .
As for 10 million units, SOny clearly said over 10 million shipped, the media and forums ran with it from there.



All I can say DWarrior, you need to shake your unhealthy obsession with hating Sony. Not like anything you will ever say will do anything to any PS2 fan but make them laugh hysterically at you.

Everyone join me in a group laugh

Actually Jumpman, I beg to differ. PS2 has had problems, which you can plainly see from the main forum, but I saw just as many problems with the DC on another BB I used to frequent. There have been problems with the sound on PS2 from what I have seen, there were also many problems with our DCs. But we only represent a small minority. Also, many of us purchased first generation, first out the door PS2s, which had the opportunity for problems.

I would say many people are satisfied with their PS2, mainly because I don\'t see many hardcore people own PS2. I actually see many hardcore reject it, for some strange reason, on UGTZ, and such. You got me.

Many casual gamers only demand good sports games, they have them. They demand a fighting game or two, well guess what, they have the most \'popular\' 3D fighter. They also got their Square game, crappy or not, it is there.

Ryu - I leave Double Standards go unpunished when they are obvious, and the idiot that states them is already being chastised enough. I only waste my time on the people who don\'t get there beatins from the other members.

ddaryl - what is it that I see in Dwarrior\'s post? Oh yeah, it is N-Player of old. Next Genner of old, etc. They all converted, I am guessing he will too.

Its funny. I completly understand if someone doesn\'t like or want a Sony PS2, but to go on crusades in PS2 forums with opinionated BS. It makes my belly ache from laughter.

• Japan (March 4, 2000) - 4.65 Million
  
  
• North America (October 26, 2000) - 2.76 Million
  
  
• Europe (November 24, 2000) - 2.63 Million
  

I was very busy this week-end...and I\'ve read these Great News only now!

...and I\'ve noticed how some pathetic people opened an "embedded" new Thread :"Shipped!...not sold units"

...I perfectly understand that some envious sega-fan or X-flop fan:D can\'t bear the fact PS2 is growing very well...but if you are true men you have to accept the defeat with dignity
Everybody here knows the difference between shipped and sold units...and everybody knows that 10 Millions shipped units in the first year is impressive...so...why are you proving each second of your "life" to be an X-Troll??  DocWiz

Yeaaahhh  

This thread is... interesting to say the least, and I don\'t feel like getting involved

N-Player, how can you only like Q3A on DC?  I mean there is UT, and other games that you could get.

JDY, I know I was just trying to sponn his words.

I understand your point Caspian, 10 million units have been sold albeit to customers AND retailers.

And I agree with 00seven that either way this still is an impressive number of units that Sony has moved.
