"PlayStation hits 100 million units!"

Sony's first console, that fantastic little grey machine, has now shipped 100 million units worldwide.
Arguably the biggest success story in the industry since Nintendo first released the NES, Sony's PlayStation revolutionised the gaming world. And now, thanks to 3.31 million sales in the year up to March 2004, they've now shipped a hundred million of the little beauties.

Since the release of the PSone, sales have been revived, despite the awesome success of the PS2. Speaking of which, there are now 70 million units of Darth Vader's Toaster knocking around, although the availability of coloured versions should probably knock that nickname on the head anytime now.

So while 100 million is very impressive, the PS2's numbers mean that it's inevitable that it will overtake its big brother sometime soon. Nintendo and Microsoft must be looking at those numbers with awe.

I'd just like to say well done to Sony for creating such a wonderfully brilliant console that will surely be remembered for a long long time. Well done Sony! But I do think that if PS2 keep releasing top-quality games such as Pro Evo and GTA then it will surely overtake it's little brother in sales.

oh yhea the san andreas isn't due to be realsed on the xbox at all...

OH! hence it may never appear

same goes for gamecube

how dare anyone speak ill of the PS2!

i am looking forward to many games:

snake eater
gran turismo prolouge / 4

etc

and i am yet to buy games like:

sonic heores
alais
007 e or n
ff x-2
worms 3d

lalakers will be able to tell you more, but it's a huge RPG that plays in the same style as Final Fantasy Tactics, and it'll take over your life by the sounds of things.

What is Disgaea??

This threads went and made me feel all nostalgic now, I remember the first time I played titles like Ridge Racer, GTA, Crash Bandicoot, Gran Turismo, Tekken, etc. The Playstation really was brilliant but I just don't think the PS2 brings anything new to the gaming world, like the Playstation did.

And Wakka, although J&D and R&C do look like pretty good games, I don't really like platformers anymore, and I did mention Final Fantasy. Also, where have you been for the last few months? GTA is no longer a PS2 exclusive, and I'm willing to bet that San Andreas won't be an exclusive for very long, and PES is also making it's way over to the X-Box.

I disagree Lou Role. Red Dead Revolver looks brilliant and PS2 do have a lot of good exclusives such as Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Final Fantasy, Grand Theft Auto, Ico, Rez, Pro Evolution Soccer and more.

it deserves to be mentioned by name, tis truly a classic and as a PS2 exclusive warrants buying the black radiator just so you can play it

Show some respect mere mortal :-D

If Digaea wasn't on that list, I would have put 'there's nothing worth owning'
