who cares
consoles are gay
New PS2 sales figures just dropped
You do realize it only hit that number for being a cheap DVD player, right?
one of the biggest
Even they know it's happening kek
Only ps2 game i had was some crash bandicoot game which took forever to load.
other than that it was my first dvd player. Only thing it was ever used for.
whats stopping sony from just bullshitting the ps2 numbers? it's not like they sell it anymore so stock holders wouldn't care about peofit lies
Another updated PS2 autopsy report from Sony?
I convinced my parents that this was a win win for everyone only reason they and likely many others purchased it plus it was piss easy to mod chip so the games were basically free.
Weird how they updated the number over a decade after they last gave it out. Only when Switch was getting close to it that they decided to do it. The numbers could be true but the action to update it a decade later, when they had any number of time to update it within those years, just makes it look suspicious.
Even if it gets topped the Swords of Sony will remain devote. Sony Players are not just people who buy playstations. They are elite. They are a breed above the rest, with a desire not just to sit and mindlessly play games, but to enjoy artistic masterpieces brought to life in a digital media unknown to our ancestors. Playstation users are pioneers. And in a thousand years history will long remember the glory added to humanities collective consciousness by the Playstation
They also say “one of the biggest-selling” consoles, not “THE biggest” as though they’re aware of their lie and are afraid of having to walk back their claim if they have to concede that the Switch actually sold more.
keep seething faggot
Bad goyim, it was actually 160 gorillion
That's not true. Many people had to buy two or three of them because of poor build quality and bad lasers.
Why did the switch sell so much bros? It didn't even have a dvd player.
Switch is only 8 mil behind and it still has probably 2 years before production ends
Yeah, I think the record is going to get broken
They'll have their work cut out to beat 200 million
Sony forgot to factor in the 20 million ps2's sold to Heard Island and McDonald Island
sorry japs but I just delivered another 6 million ps2's, maybe next time you might break the record
For about one more year. Tick, tock, Snoy
one of the
Hmmm, a very suspicious choice of words
Breaking News: New studies reveal as many as 30 million previously unknown PS2 sales
I bet that Sony could re-release the PS2 with nothing else but a HD output and an inbuilt memory card and it'd sell gangbusters.
And several homes bought multiple switch units because they're handhelds, like they do with every other Nintendo handheld that came out. Your point?
To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if the actual number was much higher than that.
Sony will magic up another 20 million sales in time
Trust
not so fast sony just found out that 30 million ps2 were sold in wakanda.
stich about to break the record
UM ACTUALLY GOYIM PS2 SOLD OVER 6 MORBILLION MORE SINCE WE FOUND MORE RECIPTS IN AN ARBY'S BATHROOM
sure
buying because you want more and buying because it broke is very different
The number 160,000,000 causes immense seethe to a certain group of people.
Switch is only 8 mil behind
Really? I had no idea, I've never seen anyone IRL with a Switch, literally zero, never heard anyone talk about it either.
PS2 on the other hand, everyone and their grandma had it back then.
The only time I see this console being owned by someone is on internet when some basedboy post a picture of himself with it, if it wasn't for this this console might aswell not exist at all.
It's weird though that the Switch doesn't "feel" as big as the PS2 was, culturally speaking. Or maybe it's not part of a larger cultural trend, if that makes sense?
I've never seen anyone IRL with a Switch
That's because you don't have any friends and you don't go outside
buying to watch movies
buying to play video games
hmmm
test
stop ban evading
The PS2 (or really just "Playstation", to put the PS1 and PS2 together) were just part of the zeitgeist of the time. It was the "Video Game wing" of the culture of the millennium.
The Switch can sell double, but it's sorta just a console.
That's because you grew up during the PS2 era
is one of the
It's the biggest one isn't it? Man what the fuck happened to SONY, it used to be THE japanese brand.
a cheap DVD player
A DVD player was 40€ and you could find cheap one for 20€.
A PS2 was 140€ (which was cheap btw, which is why everyone had one).
I don't know what the fuck was the price of a "cheap DVD player" in your country but you are either full of shit or got fucked by the people selling them.
In 2000 in the USA you could not find a DVD player as cheap as a PS2
Projection.
Nope. I'm an turbo oldfag who was already all growed up by then.
It's kinda like Pokemon. EVERYONE knew what it was.
I really doubt Switch catches it. 1.26 mil switch were shipped last quarter. We can expect that to go down with Switch 2 racketing up. people compare the PS2's late sales with the PS3, but they found new regions to sell the PS2 like in India. Switch is everywhere it's ever going to be and its demand is going to tank with the Switch 2's release. I'm thinking it taps out at 157-158 million.
the 160 million number is a lie anyway, that's just how many they manufactured. 155 is much more likely to be the real sales total.
Here's what the tendies don't want to admit: most of the switch's owners are japs.
and the main reason the switch is so successful is because it takes up very, very little space in "console" mode and can detach into being a handheld, which caters to japan's shitty living space and obsession with mobile gaming. It's also why they preferred the psvita to the wii u, ps4, and xbox back when.
Snoy and Xshit are primarily sold to burgers and yuros.
PC outsold the ps2.
got outdone in the same timeframe by a console that saw not a single price cut
The absolute state of play(station)
Also the PS3 was expensive as fuck and there was still a lot of reasons to buy a PS2 even late in its life. I remember still buying even PS1 games (pre-owned, obviously) in 2007. I think the last PS2 game I bought was Rogue Galaxy around 2012.
don't forget the 20 million+ downloads PCSX2 probably has, that's like... Digital PS2 sales.
Got all the sales for supporting DVDs
Got all the multi-plats for supporting DVDs
Got all the exclusives for supporting DVDs
Damn, maybe the Dreamcasket could of had a molecule of success if they just supported DVDs
I saw a grow-ass man carrying a switch around in a store the other day. Seen plenty of kids do that but never an adult. He was black.
Here's what the tendies don't want to admit: most of the switch's owners are japs.
Unlike actual sharts selling millions in CHINA like MH wilds, wukong , tsushima that's just false info. Wouldn't even be surprised if the Chinese were the ones who boughted asscreed shadows
The switch is THE European/American/Japanese console. The PS5 is quickly turning into the chinese one.
statista.com
Feel free to shit and pissyourself schizo, get that ass flushed.
Mobile phone outsold the PC. Mobile gamers won.
I would expect Switch's legs to perform more like the Nintendo DS after the 3Ds launched. 3DS launched in 2011. See how the DS's sales tumbled down. The one thing the Switch has is that it hasn't been discounted.
this is also why the gamecube and n64 suffered btw; they used proprietary storage that bloated the cost of production and distribution of software compared to the ps2
nintendo even almost learned this lesson with the wii, since while wii discs were proprietary technically speaking, they were derived from HD DVD's as a base
Sony are going to make a ps2 mini and count its sales (+round up to the closest million) towards ps2s total, aren't they?
150M+ consoles sold
35M in Japan
that's not even 1/3, on what planet is that "most"?
Is this true for you guys as well? A refurbished Wii U costs more here than a refurbished Switch
zero gameplay shown
doesn't look fun
no shit
I've seen a bunch but i actually travel around... now that i think about it i've never seen a kid with one, just teenagers but it's mostly young adults and adults.
You're the one schizoposting, and I'm not going to deign your inane babble with a response since you apparently can't even read your own chart
contrary to popular belief a lot of their demographics are 20-30 somethings AND older
As it should. It's by far the best console with a close second being the 360 imo. It's fun. Everything else is CHYNAAAA tier or for posers & manchildren. Simple as.
immediately caused seethe
sou.....
more 40 year olds are playing the Switch than 10 year olds
hmm didn't expect that.

more 45 year olds playing bing bing than 15 year olds
kids want to play hardcore games for hardcore gamers, time is a flat circle.

please let me pay to use my internet microsoft-sama!
Switch hits 159mil
Sony: OH DAMN WHOOPS WE -JUST- FOUND OUT 10 MILLION MORE PS2s SOLD THAT WE DIDN'T COUNT TEEHE
every time
Thirdies pirated the shit out of this thing so the software sales where nowhere as good.
nintendies mad they will never be #1
Sega literally couldn't afford to price the Dreamcast competitively with the licensing costs for DVD playback on top of it. Sony had an unfair advantage because a portion of what they were paying to license DVD was just going back into their own pockets, meaning they had a lower effective cost to implement. The same thing would have killed the Xbox 360 if it wasn't for the fact that the PS3 was so hideously expensive despite their pricing advantage that the Xbox 360 still seemed viable. It also didn't help that most third-parties didn't want to touch the fucking Cell with a ten foot pole for quite a while, either.
How can there be new sales figures when all the manufactured consoles were sold off?
as big as the PS2 was
I know plenty of people who owned a gamecube, but only 2 people who owned a PS2. The PS2 numbers are 100% fake and gay.
That's because you were in special ed, my man.
okay zoomer
Based
They are not, gaming was a global phenomena.
but gaming is bigger than ever
In a really gay homo corpo way, shit sux
Not true at all. Were you even alive back then?
Best post itt
The PS2 came out in 2000, not 2007, zoomer
PS2 sales have said more than 155 million on their sites for forever. Anyone who is surprised it's actually at 160 million is a retard. they were selling that shit in Walmart up to the PS4's launch.
The Pele of consoles
Ironically the Switch2 flopping will push Switch numbers over 160 mil
This system has 99 problems, but fillrate ain't one.
There will never be a console that can do regular transparency effects like the PS2, if you take in account the output resolution scale.
48GB/s to fill a tiny ass 512x448 picture is just too much.
sold
*produced
It would be really fucking funny if Sony started manufacturing the PS2 again for the 25th anniversary or some bullshit, I'd buy one desu.
I'd buy a new production PS2, too. Especially if they bundled some games in with it.
I don't get it
The only people I know who had a PS2 were low IQ browns. All the university graduates like me had a gamecube or xbox.
They were straight retarded for removing the ability to change the UI sounds and visuals they added last year.
That got permanently added back in an update not long ago
wow they found another ten million huh? crazy how that happens.
You live in a shithole and are out of touch
implying sonybros ever lost a gen
I have fond memories with all of them :")
- Hi spec games becoming too expensive and time consuming to make resulting in barren schedules
- Genre homogenisation where every game became The Last of Us
- Moving to California and focus on Westernisation
- Switch reclaiming Nintendo's throne in Japan
- Switch reclaiming Nintendo's throne in Japan
my nana says im handsome
Imagine not knowing that PlayStation barely exists in Japan anymore
If I lie enough it will become true
No wonder journos love Sony.

7th gen vs 6th gen
the wiimote started as an accessory for the gamecube. calling the wii a 7th gen console was a literal scam by nintendo.
this has to be one of the stupidest copes I've ever read
Sony always wins, sony chads rise up!
zero arguments
whats there to argue? your post is just denying reality
I still have my working PS2 in the original blue box. I installed a flip-top years ago.
bingbangwahoo shit for literal children
Doesn't count
7th gen vs 6th gen
calling the wii as 7th gen console was a nintendo scam. there is absolutely nothing controversial about this.
Those are the same thing to a Playstation owner
The GBA, DS, and 3DS even had three or four revamps as well.
ps2 is still current gen in brazil
other than the fact that literally everybody calls wii 7th gen?
Sony is so absolutely pathetic now, the ps2 was their last victory. The ps3 and ps4 still had some good games but the ps5 is a fucking joke.
kek
meanwhile, on PS5
True, but I'll always love PS1
calls wii 7th gen?
the first HD generation. the wii is not HD. it's an absolutely confirmed fact that the wii is a rebranded Gamecube. has been for 20 years. im sorry if you are just learning about this. this is not even controversial.
I'm sorry youre so vehement in denying reality because your nogames machine got outsold by the kiddie toy
Every time Switch gets close Sony conveniently "finds" more sales. It's just like the 2020 election.
the first HD generation. the wii is not HD.
That cope isn't valid.
It's like saying the N64 isn't a 5th generation console because its competitors were using CDs.
Wii won the 7th generation, seethe + cope.
So the PS3 was competing with the WiiU?
And the PS4 was competing and lost to the Switch? And the PS5 will be competing with the Switch2?
the ps5 is a fucking joke.
the console that ended console wars is a joke because some losers on an irrelevant internet forum says so based on retard tier rules that no one cares about.
Every night in my dreams
I see you
I feeeeeeel you
Why are the tendies itt pretending they were even alive when the ps2 came out? Every proceeding snoy product has been varying degrees of bad but the ps2 was a goat console that shat all over the GC which was trash.
Seethe a little harder and you finally might bend reality to reflect your words.
why do you think people werent alive when the PS2 came out?
reality
the Wii is a gamecube. you can't refute that. this has been a known fact literally since the Wii launched. you can't shitpost your way around it.
It's like saying the N64 isn't a 5th generation console because its competitors were using CDs.
no it's not.
I wouldn't even say Sony is competing anymore
but the ps2 was a goat console that shat all over the GC which was trash
The PS2 was an inferior console just like the Switch is.
They both won, even with inferior graphical power.
We need a ban on salesfagging threads
the Wii is a gamecube. you can't refute that
I can, because its not a gamecube. I dont know how you can even be stupid enough to call it one
Sony desperate to keep the PS2 as the #1 sold console ever
Will never rerelease it to further solidify it because then nobody would buy their shitty PS5
Because no one born over 25 years ago is a console warrior or probably even owns one
Glad we agree, Wii is a 7th gen console.
bro Sony literally killed two consoles.
One was the Vita, what's the other?
It's a shame they fucked up so bad with the PSone mini because it probably discouraged them from ever attempting a sequel
nonsensical post
Imagine unironically acting like the PS2 was this untouchable gem while ignoring how much of its library was shovelware and bargain bin junk. Yeah, it had classics, but so did the GameCube — Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime, F-Zero GX, etc. Just admit you never played anything beyond GTA and Madden and move on, grandpa.
you responded to my posts 4 times now, repeating the same thing like a butthurt autist. the Wii in not an HD console. under the plastic case it's literally the same hardware as a Gamecube.
I wish there was a way to get an unused PS2.
I only responded to you twice, the N64 comparison and the quoted post.
I miss IP counter too.
can the gamecube do motion control?
lol do you really want me to remind you that Nintendo always used to have both a homeconsole and a handheld in the market. now it's only one. what happened?
sony also used to release games, what happened to that?
I miss IP counter too.
you are two stubborn idiots then. doesn't change the fact that the Wii is a gamecube with a different controller. calling it a 7th gen is a scam.
Nintendo always used to have both a homeconsole and a handheld in the market. now it's only one. what happened?
WiiU showed them how time consuming HD development is and they reached an answer that allowed them to compete on both markets.
I remember Walmart were selling these for $20 each and still no one was buying them
WiiU showed them how time consuming HD development
OH YOU MEAN SOMETHING THAT EVERYONE ELSE REALIZED IN THE 7TH HD GENERATION
its not a gamecube though, objectively. Your only argument is that it started with the same architecture. you very conveniently ignored my question
Your only argument is that it started with the same architecture
my good brother im sorry this is a shock to you and this is how you learn about it but you are factually wrong. it's not just the same architecture. the Wii has the very same CPU and GPU as the gamecube. welcome to 20 years ago.
that still didnt answer my question. Can the gamecube process motion control, yes or no
WHERES THE FUCKING PRICE DROP NINTENDO YOU CUNTS. I'm not buying an OLED unless its $100+ cheaper
and switch only because of covid, your point?
it was already selling well before and after covid, try again
These things skyrocketed in price once everyone figured out how easy it was to mod
The switch was selling well before and continues to sell well even now. Cry more bitch nigga
Can the gamecube process motion control, yes or no
i literally told you that the wiimote started as a gamecube accessory. and yes that is also a fact. at this point you are being stubborn. go watch some videos about the the creation of the Wii.
nitendo literally repackaged the gamecube with a gimmick controller. fact. the wii is absolutely not an HD console. not even an HD ready console.
that's why the Wii brand tanked in the early 2010s and nintendo lost money for the first time ever when everyone -the normies that trusted nintendo- realized that.
theverge.com
he still refuses to answer the question
I accept your concession, dumbass
Nips are slow with technology, plz understandu.
Fax machine slow.
Can't really compare the switch to the ps2, gaming in general was way smaller back then, if you adjusted it to today numbers that would be more like 230m+
Lil zoom zoom the world existed before 2008
i did. dont pretend you came up with some mental gymnastics when i humiliated you and no one tried to defend you. i can repeat it as many times as i need to: the wii has the same hardware as the gamecube.
gaming in general was way smaller back then
Correct, but it also didn't have to compete with smarphone and a stronger PC market.
the architechture is the exact same
the GC literally cant process motion control
so its not the same
>the GC literally cant process motion control
brooo you are just making shit up now.
show me a motion control game for the GC
>the architechture is the exact same
architecture is one thing. hardware is another.
yea I guess they both sold a lot for the same reason, they have no real competitors plus good games
so theyre different. Objectively. Thanks for wasting my time
so theyre different.
haha this is just sad. you had to make me dig up my 10 year old woojack folder. the PS2 and PS3 have the same architecture, that's a Risc CPU but obviously they have different hardware.
the nintendo Wii and the GC have the same hardware which means they must have the same architecture! also there is no special motion control processor on the Wii that makes it capable of motion controls. there is no special motion control magic. you are both a sore loser and a clueless nitnendo fan.
wrong! even at $220 full price this was $80 cheaper than a ps2 in 2000.
has a wojak folder
his only argument is that they started from the same architecture
yep, Im arguing with a 13 year old
they started from the same architecture
he insists
"starting from the same architecture" is not even a sentence that makes sense. but once again, i can repeat it as many times as i need: they don't just share the same architecture, the have the very same CPU and GPU.
A emulated version of PS1 games on the SNES classic ran better than the PSone mini.
dude the problem with the PSone mini is that it didn't have a dualshock. that was beyond retarded. yes i know it was supposed to represent the early phase of the PS1 but that's also dumb.
using the PS One logo for the original PlayStation
Since they were going to make up numbers anyway they should've went for 170m, because even with the fake numbers the Switch is going to take it in a year
carefully selecting wojacks so that janner doesn't ban by ass
all you had to do is google:
do the gamecube and the wii have the same cpu and gpu.
they do
is there some special motion control chip
there is not
is the Wii an HD console
it's not
and you would have saved yourself the humiliation. the PS3 won fair the square the first HD generation.
Have you ever seen talk pages on Wikipedia about console generations? There's one admin named Masem that's absolutely autistic about putting Nintendo consoles a gen behind just because he says so
en.wikipedia.org
Another 5 million sales to the PS2
autistic
the Switch is admittedly a different case because console + handheld. but there is absolutely no discussion about the Wii, it's the definition of fraud. it's the SAME HARDWARE as the gamecube with absolutely no HD capabilities and no software overlap with the PS360 gen. are you seriously implying the console that got PS2 games (yes literally) well into the 7th gen is a 7th gen console. and it lost nintendo money in 2012 for the first time ever because the normies, the gamers that trusted the nintendo brand woke up to the fact that nintendo sold them underpowered gimmicks.
Now show the number of people who did NOT purchase it. Fanboys won't like it.
nintendofags being upset that sony updated their numbers after an entire decade has to be the most pathetic sore loser fanboy shit i have ever witnessed. would it take anything away from the PS2 achievements? no. would it take anything from the Switch achievements? no. but they just love being pathetic. and sore.
why do snoys always cope so much over this fact? The CEO of Sony at the launch of the PS2 openly admits it being a cheap DVD player option is what kept the console alive for its first year, he even laughs about how the first Matrix movie's DVD release was the PS2's best seller
I can't wait for the PS2 classic to release so they can add 20 million more.
PS3 lost hard to the Wii and was getting raped hard by the 360 until microsoft shot themselves in the foot in the later half of the gen
switch has dominated the PS4 and 5
the console that ended console wars
because it killed the only console that was competing with nintendo?
PS1, PS2 and PSP were all great. They stopped making good games after that
negrophile snoys have nothing left but cling to the now gone glory of a japanese console
grim
Nice fake numbers Sony, but I'm not letting you live this one down.
makes it real grim to frame it that way when you remember there are SNES games that outsell PS4/5 games despite the massive increase in video games as a market
wonder what changed between the ps2 era and everything that came after
guess we will never know because basic pattern recognition is antisemitic
What the fuck are you talking about? I live in a third world country and everybody and their mothers have a Switch here. My cousins, friends and acquaintances, even my brother who doesn't give a shit about games bought one for their kids. Where the fuck do you live? Are you a mutt?
online multiplayer ruined everything
As soon as the business model changed from selling new games every year to trying to get players to stick to the same online game as long as possible the soul was sucked out of the industry
until microsoft shot themselves in the foot in the later half of the gen
nah. ms just spent a hell lot of money to cover for the RROD and stopped money hatting games, so publishers started making games for Sony again. reminder that the 360 enjoyed a full year into the market before the PS3 launched. all that and it still lost.
PS3 lost hard to the Wii
they lost literally nothing since there is no software overlap with a 6th gen console that can't do HD. keep coping.
