Wow 140 million PS2 sold worldwide!? I still remember when i first got it for my 13th b-day back in 2001. Great memories…and the collection of great titles for the system is astounding. FFX is my favorite exclusive from the PS2 and one of my favorite games of all time =)

well am a playstation fan n am confident that ps3 will beat Wii. From my point of view, Wii games just reflect the game in the 80s.. I have a ps, ps2 n a ps3 at home, n am proud.

viva ps3….

“After all these years Nintendo has finally figured out that gamers actually want to move. Who knew?”

@ Nate…Yea I understand, I had a Dreamcast too but quickly got the PS2 as soon as it came out then got the XBOX…there were wayyy to many titles on PS2 to just have an XBOX instead though…Games like Rival Schools, Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha…the list goes on and on.

@likeabite

I had a Dreamcast, leading up to the Xbox release. And, really, it took like two years for any good games, aside from Devil May Cry, to be released on the PS2. So, by the time a lot of good games started coming out for the PS2, I was already heavily into Xbox.

This is in no way a Nintendo hate post, but I will never account for a Wii sale. Good for them with the numbers, but there will never be a day when I’ll have one in my home. PS3 and 36o is holding me down. Well my PS3 is anyway.

@ Joe the Plumber

The PS2 is the only major console of the past twenty years that I never purchased. I really don’t know why. I guess I was heavy into Xbox.

Answered my own question. The original GameBoy & Gameboy Color sold 118.69 million units. All versions of the GameBoy Advance have sold 81.36 million.

That’s a lot of damn GameBoys.

Where does the Gameboy fall on the all time list. I know it’s more than the PS2, but this list is, obviously, non-portables.

Who didn’t have a ps2?
But seriously… a ps2 is one of the best inventions in technology history. What a great piece of Asian tech.

That’s crazy that the PS2 sold that many but I mean I have 3 in my house so I can see why. Its still crazy how much the Wii is selling, and say its because of the casual gamers but all that matters is that Nintendo found the people that will buy one and that means money.

To reach the PS1 or PS2’s levels, Nintendo *really* needs to step up production. Or…maybe not. After all, I still see signs various places that say “Limit 1 Wii console per customer”. Meanwhile, there are always plenty of 360s and PS3s around with no limits on the number purchased.

And as a casual gamer (who barely touched the PS2 after a week or two), the other consoles just leave me lukewarm. Sure, I’d love to see the new Civilization game, probably LittleBigPlanet, and a few other titles on the Wii, but then I also mostly just play games that my wife or company can also participate in, as nothing’s more boring than watching someone else play a game.

@dugcam…hahahaha classic!! That’d win the beat 360 challenge easily (AC360 on CNN btw)…But the real reason isn’t because people want to move. Nintendo just marketed the Wii to young kids and older people who wanted a communal experience. Harcore gamers don’t buy the Wii, they get a PS3 or a 360. Problem is there are a lot more younger kids and older people than there are hardcore gamers, hence the success of the Wii. That said I don’t think it can reach the Playstation’s mark let alone the PS2’s but we’ll see.
