The 40 million units sold not only makes the PlayStation 2 the most popular console in Europe, but it also surpasses the 39 million units its predecessor managed to sell. There also appears to be plenty of life left in the PlayStation 2 as it’s still getting strong support from the industry’s major publishers.
“We are extremely proud of the continuing success of PlayStation 2,” said David Reeves, SCEE President and CEO. “In the last month or so sales of PlayStation 2 throughout Europe and PAL territories has exceeded 100,000 units per week, which is extremely pleasing and proves the format is as popular now as it ever was. Through the continual development of new and innovative gaming titles, in particular the social gaming phenomena such as EyeToy, SingStar and BUZZ! PlayStation 2 will remain the computer entertainment system of choice for new and experienced gamers alike.“
SCEE also points out another milestone for the PS2; the system now has over 2000 software titles available in Europe, with another 50 or so due for release in the run-up to Christmas.
