PlayStation 2: Worldwide shipments of PlayStation 2 have hit the impressive tem million mark.

The original PlayStation took three years to reach this milestone, and Sony now expects to double PS2 shipments during fiscal 2002.

Here\'s the regional breakdown:


Japan: 4.65 million – from March 4, 2000 launch
North America: 2.76 million - from October 26, 2000 launch
Europe: 2.63 million - November 24, 2000 launch
Kazuo Hirai, president and COO at Sony America, beamed, "We\'re pleased to announce that five months after the introduction of PlayStation 2 in North America the company is on target to meet the three million unit shipment projection for this market by March 31, the end of our fiscal year."

He added, "Vigorous sales of PlayStation 2 hardware and software further demonstrate the mass market appeal of the PlayStation brand and illustrates the company\'s ongoing dominance in this highly competitive category."

I noticed that too. What the hell does that mean? Shipped? WTF?

"Shipped" is way for the company to sound like they \'sold\' lots of units. Instead they are simply filling requests by stores and companies that will try to sell them themselves (ie. Fry\'s, E.B., Circuit City etc.). "Shipped" isn\'t a reliable source for the number of units sold.

hah hah hah I got a few friends like that.
Do all kinds of stoopid drunken mischef,and don\'t remember a thing about it the next day.
Last weekend a friend of mine went to a party and got REALLY drunk he decied he like a table in the house he as in and attemted to steal it.The table was a whole lot bigger than and he hurt himself not seriously though.
But for the rest of the evening he wouldn\'t leave the table,he had to make sure nobody would take it from him

Actually Sony does have 10 million sold. THey sold htem to retailers. Its up to retailers to sell them. Which im sure they are doing. None of the stores around here have any and when the do get some they sell withen a half hour.

10 Millon!!! ::
I was one of the first 500,000!!

Ultimately I think what counts is that the customers buy the units, not the retailers. So just because Sony has \'shipped\' 10 million units, doesn\'t mean there has been a customer demand for 10 million units.

In California I NEVER see PS2\'s sitting around on store shelves, but I have seen many posts where people elsewhere see them on shelves in abundance.

We shouldn\'t consider this 10 million units \'sold\' since 10 million customers haven\'t bought them. Sure, sometime soon there will be 10 million sold, but for now this is just the usual business jargon.

I love Sony, yes I do.

Why is it unsurprising to read another negative remark from you regarding Sony? Every company does this, they show-off their shipped numbers and pass them off as units sold.. like someone said, technically they are sold, and they will be sold. It\'s nothing new. I love Sega and my Dreamcast as much as the next guy man, but if you\'re here and dislike Sony, why bother?

- what\'s in the f\'cking box?

it took months for the PS2 to destroy the pathetic user-base the DC took years to reach...that\'s what it\'s all about eh beast?

Sega fanboys are now the worst of them all, they are bitter and mad at everyone from nintendo to EA...they just can\' face the fact that sega SUCKS...their hardware sucks and finally got killed..


10million in a couple of months?...well done sony:D

N-player,

The DC died because of the ignorant f\'ckheads that fill this world. The DC is a great system, has a ton of great games, and still has games coming. And for the record, SEGA doesn\'t suck. I bet everyone here will be real happy when SEGA games start popping out for the PS2.

I love my PS2, and it has nothing but potential, but I\'ve been enjoying great DC games since 9-9-99. Also, if the DC hardware \'sucked\' it wouldn\'t have any games that could compare to PS2, and it sure does have quite a few.

Lastly, it didn\'t take a few months, while Sony did surpass DC sales quickly, you gotta remember it\'s been out in Japan for a year already.

one thing I don\'t understand, japan, usa and europe altogether have buyed 10 million, but what about other countries like for instance australia, wouldn\'t the number4 be higher if those countries where included?

On topic: Good job Sony

Off topic: DC\'s Sales
Why does this not suprise me coming from Nplayer-2? DC was the best selling (in its timeframe, compared to every other systems 1st yr or 2) system ever, until PS2. Second best selling console in history isn\'t bad, and its mainly Japan (those ****ers) and SOJ that killed DC. Not lack of sales in the US or Europe.
