The PlayStation 2 is 9 years old today

Hard to believe it's been almost a decade since the console first released but yes the PlayStation 2 is celebrating it's 9 year birthday and it has a lot to celebrate having sold around 140 million consoles sold worldwide and still pulling in six figure sales every month. Also over 10,000 titles are available for the console and Americans alone have bought more than half a billion titles for the PlayStation 2. All in all a great birthday for perhaps the most successful gaming console to ever grace gaming history.

I didnt know the number sold was so many...Geez I dont think even Sony could top that beyond this point, especially with how intense the console war is now...

Wowza, thats really hard to believe, the old PS2 is still kickin and working like Day 1.

Good memories!:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PS2!!!!!!!!! and many more......

Well two video game devices could top the PlayStation 2's record depending on how long they can continue their sales, the Nintendo DS (including all revisions) has sold almost 120 million units and the Wii has sold over 50 million to date although it was revealed today Nintendo has sold only 5.75 million units of the Wii compared to over 10 million last year and that's including price cut sales and with the continuing weak library of the Wii it's a far off competitor but still a possibility.

happy birthday to a damn good system
