100 Million PS2s Shipped

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday November 30, 2005 @05:47AM from the prolific-console dept.

1up.com reports on a Sony release stating they've shipped 100 Million PS2 consoles. From the article: "PSOne took more than nine years to reach the same milestone Sony's achieved with PlayStation 2 in a little more than five. Sony says global shipments of PlayStation 2 break down to 40.65 million units in North America, 37.14 million in Europe and 22.22 million in all of Asia. The end result is Sony having a PlayStation brand that's moved roughly 1.86 billion units of hardware in a little over a decade, with plenty of time for PlayStation 2 to keep growing as the company makes the shift into next-generation in the coming year. "

I just wanted you all to know that I'm not buying a PlayStation 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 9 because of the Sony CD DRM rootkit scandal of 2005. If you buy one, your an idiot.

Yeah right, you probably own an Xbox and are just trolling for Microsoft.

No one buys a faulty product after it breaks twice.
