There’s no doubt that Sony had a full head of steam coming in to this generation, we just didn’t expect that same steam to keep billowing long after the PS3 hit shelves. According to Eurogamer, Sony has now shipped over 150 million units to retailers worldwide. Equally as impressive is the lineup of games that is nearing 11,000 titles and the 1.52 billion units of software sold. The PS2’s three best selling games are Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Gran Turismo 3: A Spec and Gran Turismo 4. Those hit titles have moved 17.33, 14.89 and 10.76 million units, respectively.

It was a great console, still have so many found memories of it.

I think the Ps2 had a great selection of game and managed to cater for everyone. So many good games on the PS2. I would of thought MGS3 would be in the top 3. So many good memories of it.*goes off remebering the good old days*

150,000,000 is a huge achivemeant.
but it makes me wonder if sony is ever going to stop making games for the PS2, i mean i know it won the last console war (considering its the only one that survived) and that is a great reason to keep it alive, but for how long can/will it live?

So if Sony really was planning to withhold backwards compatibility because the PS2 was still selling then their plan worked a treat.
