Sony's PS2 reaches 100-million-sold mark nearly four years faster than original PlayStation console.
TOKYO--Sony Computer Entertainment announced today that, as of November 29, total worldwide shipment of PlayStation 2 consoles has reached 100 million units. Divided into territories, the company shipped 22.22 million units in Japan and Asia (launch date: March 4, 2000), 40.65 million units in North America (launch date: October 26, 2000), and 37.14 million units in Europe and PAL regions (launch date: November 24, 2000).
SCE comments that the shipment of 100 million PS2 units since launch comes three years and nine months earlier than it did for the original PlayStation from 1995, which reached the mark in nine years and six months after its release. SCE also notes that the original PlayStation was the first game console to ever ship 100 million units.
SCE says that more than 14,000 games are currently available for the backward-compatible PlayStation 2, of which 6,200 are PS2 titles. The cumulative shipment of PS and PS2 games has reached a total of more than 1.87 billion units as of September 2005.

well out of the 20 million Xbox's sold, why are less than 3 million playing online.
And if one broke, you still liked it enought to buy another one.
that probably didn't happen as much as you think since Sony repaird the First Gen ones with problems for FREE! |

That's a very good point! Probably so; it's the number of units shipped, so they aren't tracking who is buying them. |

Ahh, but you must also remember the amount of people who do not buy a new one, but buy a used one. For instance, Dustin may be on his third PS2, but perhaps one or two of them was used, in which case there was not another PS2 shipped from the company for that one.
Etc. ^_^

So technically, there were probably at least another half as many PS2s bought as there were shipped.
