While it was the not-so-humble Playstation that converted me into the gaming machine that I am today, it’s successor was the console that I invested the most time in. Even now, with new consoles supporting technology such as HD, 3D and motion controllers, I still have to break out the Playstation 2 every once in a while.
With that said, here are some facts and figures about the awesomeness which is the PS2:
- At just over 10 years old, first being released in Japan in March, 2000, the Playstation 2 has become the best selling console of all time.
- The console has shipped over 150 million units since release.
- 1.52 billion units of PS2 software have been sold, as of December, 2010.
- The PS2′s best-selling game is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, shifting 17.33 million units. In second place is Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec with 14.89 million. In third is Gran Turismo 4, with 10.76 million sold.
- A staggering 10,828 games have been created for the PS2.
Pretty impressive, huh?
