How many units has playstation 2 sold(not shiped)Do the numbers mean war is over

After some heavy searching I was able find numbers on the amount of unit sony has sold. To come up with some rough figures on how many units are sold and not shiped. (If you have any number please add them)


Bye October 14 2001 sony had sold 20million ps2 units

During the holiday season sony pushed 1.5million units in the USA

2002 Japan sells for ps2 are about 600,000

The total number of units sold I would say is roughly 25million(or could be more)When you even begin to think of that many sold since the ps2 first hit shelves in japan on 3/2000 the console war seems to be over before it even begins. And the only real contender seems to be xbox.

Which in order for it to surpase ps2. PS2 console sales would have to do a 180. Which you never know ps2 could have reached it\'s peak. I doubt that is going to happen. With this being the beginning of 2002 and with ps2 hear to at least 2005 I don\'t see no console stoping it this generation.

yes, weve been thru this before
and ive stated repeatedly that the PS2 has ALREADY won the "console race".  xbox anc gamecube can never hope to match PS2 installed userbase.  hell, the PS2 is still selling more than the xbox and GC combined

its gonna be a knock down, drag out fight for 2nd place [1st loser]

my money\'s on xbox

hmm let me see the PS2 is selling faster than the PSX did over the same amount of time since launch.

and not only that

the PSX managed to see off

the Sega Saturn
The Nintendo 64
and the Dreamcast

Despite being seen as the weaker system....

 so yeah i guess that PS2 had already won the "CONSOLE WAR" before it even started..

I think Sony said 28million sold back in January.

Yes, the last official chart is about 27,8 millions of PS2 sold in the world. Sony said one year ago that they hoped to sell about 30 million of units before 31th March 2002, and it seems it\'s so close. Many people say the war is not won yet, but not for me. PS2 has won, and that\'s this way.

NGC is not doing well in Japan, the last chart says it has about 17% of the market, and PS2 about 52%. All we know that XBOX won\'t do it very well out of America... I can\'t forget the price of M$´s console in Europe... more than 500€ Bill is silly if he thinks his console are going to beat Sony.

Anyway, the games do big a console, and at the moment, I enjoy a lot with my "black". Sony has won again, and Nintendo and M$ can only fight for the 2nd position.

Congrats Sony

PSM puts the PS2 stateside number, Thanksgiving to the end of Dec, at 2.5 million. In excess of 5 million worldwide for that period.

More fun facts to know and tell.

For November and December the the lowley PSone sold 1.1 million units. Chew on that you 128 bit rivals.

# of games playable on NA PS2s- 1400+ (PS2 + 1)

# of games for Japan- 4200 :eek:


I see the GC xbox race as a tortise hare affair (xbox=fuzzy bunny). A ton of fence sitters for Nintendo waiting for the right games before they take the plunge, with the xbox basically having shot its wad until next holiday season. Yeah, yeah, a dump truck load of titles on the road but no monster system sellers.

BTW, Nintendo needs to fire their advertising  agency. What they\'re running now is a waste of money.

I still don\'t think it\'s fair to compare a new contender with the PS2.

I think we will have to see how the next generation fairs.

I will agree that the PS2 will be in the lead for a very long time with those kind of numbers with the current crop of consoles.

I can\'t wait to see how Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft try to out do each other in the next round.

It should be good for all of us.

sony will win the next round as well

ps1 - second best selling console of ALL time behind the atari 2600

ps2 - 28 million worldwide in under two years and growing exponentially?

after the satisfied user base of ps1 + ps2, the ps3 will be a guaranteed winner

aside from merely giving thier units away, they cant hope to beat sony

Shouldn\'t "1st Loser" mean the first one to lose?

In this case, DC?

dc didnt lose, danmit!!!!!!!!

the others cheated!!!!!  

/me hugs my DC

Hmmm, can I borrow your crystal ball mm?

Big, bad Sony huffed and puffed and blew Sega\'s house down.

MS\' house is made of brick but it seems more like sheet rock with their sales figures compared to the big, bad wolf.

:nut:

Come on Ace, you needn\'t a crystal ball to know that PS3 will be another winner system. Sony is working hard with the best developers. People know that Sony systems have got the best games, and the best companies work for it. People will buy PS3, and you know, and Nintendo will launch another system 2 years later, when PS3 or whatever is called has sold more than 20 million of systems. And if you read the last news about the processor of PS3... amazing!

Well, I just don\'t know what will happen. Can I take an educated guess as to what will happen? Yes.

I am just trying to point out that anything can happen. I remember when the Playstation came out, there were many people who stated that how could Sony, a company that knows nothing about video games, put out a console.

Do I think that Sony has the best shot to win? Yup!

And if you read the last news about the processor of PS3...

I hope it lives up to the hype it will generate.
