SG: "A perspective on the PlayStation team’s decision to not attend E3 2020, whether or not that matters in the larger picture, how Sony is accommodating fans, and what we can expect from PlayStation first party studios for the PS5’s launch."
Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) President and CEO Jim Ryan has confirmed that PlayStation 2 sales reached a staggering 160 million units sold worldwide.
The soon-to-be-retired gaming boss offered an updated figure during a chat on a recent episode of the Official PlayStation Podcast. The conversation saw him covering his time at Sony while talking about the company’s direction for the future.
When asked about what the 2000s brought to mind, Ryan responded with, “The 2000s? That would be, I would say, 160 million, which is the number of PS2s that we sold. A high watermark.”
The ps2/ps3 era so many dam good games and then you got the online im sure i am not the only one with a ps2 network disc that still works and the modem/lan deal for the ps2.
Great consoles all around
The game library of the PS2 speaks for itself. These sales are absolutely well deserved. PS2 is still arguably the best game console of all time.
So odd that the number is suddenly higher than previously thought right as the Switch is closing in on the long standing record.
The PS2 had a phenomenal library of games for every genre. It’s unfortunate we’re never going to witness something like that again.
So he just came up with this fact all these years later??? I wonder if it has to do with the Switch closing in on the PS2 lifetime sales? How convenient.

Temtem is actually really good as a single player experience or as a co-op game. Played the shit out of it when it released
You read that headline right! It's not a typo, as Sony has released PS3 update 4.91 this Feb. 27 2024, and it does what players might expect.
It says it is for an updated Blueray key but we all know its to also try and patch the exploits that were found in 4.90. And soon this one will be exploited and released as CFW 4.91
One day the PS3 is gonna be the most STABLE OS every created.
I think I might as well look into some Homebrew at this point. There's probably a cool scene on it.
I play my PS3 on a CRT @576i. There is a clear bug that Trophies aren't popping up once earned, you hear the noise, but they do not appear at the top right.
I only finished Xenogears on it in January, nice to see it's still getting the ocassional update.
This is what's going on with PlayStation:
PS4 has been named best console of the decade.
The Last of Us has been named best game of the decade.
These are the results of what's going on with PlayStation, not your assumptions of what's going on.
Very simple, Sony will reveal the PS5 in a few weeks and then we will know their road map.
What's going on is Sony is not allowed to have time to tell people what to know. So, there are those running around spreading what they think you should know or what they think they might know before you get to actually know. You know? Lol.
As Thundrcat said, console of the decade, game of the decade. But you got people running around like chickens with their head cut off worried thinking Sony don't know what they are doing. And won't tell them. Sony proved for 25 years it's worth the wait.
Even at their lowest, they knew what they were doing. And we benefit today as gamers. Large Blu-ray disc storage for games. Large and switchable HDDs without void of warranty. Wi-Fi built in. Some of the top developers in their craft. Advanced game engines and award winning games from those engines. And evolving from motion control, to motion control with a controller to full on VR.
Sony knows exactly what they are doing. You just got bloggers and journalists not allowing Sony to do what they do best. Even when you don't know what they are doing.
The dragon is sleeping but its about to wake up.
Oh nooo what is going ooon? Lets get concerned everybodyy.
