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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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!"
