The PlayStation 2’s tenure as God-Emperor King of videogame consoles may be coming to a close, but at least it’s going out on a high note. According to a report by The Associated Press, the nearly nine year-old machine’s cash emissions are vomit-inducingly high, with 50 million units sold in the U.S. alone.
Will the PS2 break 60 million units, though? Well, that depends on Sony who – even though PS2 sales have nearly halved since last year – doesn’t plan on tossing the system aside just yet.
“We don’t intend on discarding the system any time soon,” said Sony Computer Entertainment America hardware marketing director John Koller.

I can’t stand to read your posts because you have no concept of grammar, can barely spell most of the time and are incapable of putting together any sort of reasoned argument… instead resorting to insults or petulance.
Tis the truth, but alas, ye see it not.

Wow, 50 million is some achievement, I still have mine and most of my games are for that machine. Still a better games machine than the Wii, imho of course! The PlayStation 3 has a long way to go to live up to that legacy.
As for this barmy ejit, starve him of the attention he so desperately craves and he’ll get the message. There’s a better way of life for him at n4g.com.
I’m in games retail myself (assistant manager), and I’m sure if his store manager, area manager and even regional manager discovered how he was representing himself and therefore his store, I’m sure they’d be less than pleased. Give his posts the attention they deserve.

I loved my PS2. It truly was the bestest console ever invented, despite its various niggles and irritations.
Although having said that, I haven’t turned it on in two months. I’m a shameful traitor!

The PS2 BC has been removed from all the currently on-sale PS3s, TEA.

And I don’t have a PS3 either, numpty! The fact that I ditched Sony for Microsoft probably makes me an even bigger traitor. If I gave a shit.
