Where Sony shipped them:
North America - 26,420,000 PS2s
Europe - 19,440,000 PS2s
Japan - 14,170,000 PS2s
Total software sales: 400,000,000 units globally from 2,000 titles.
What was Konami's excuse for not doing a PAL conversion of Suikoden 3 again?

It was good, but Conflict: Desert Storm beats it... only just, however.
As long as you don't say Tomb Raider: Angel Of Darkness, all will be fine. :-)

SOCOM?
I was aware of the problems with the minority of PS2s, but surely there could only be a couple of million extra sales (at the most) due to this...
Yes, big for Sony moneywise, but not really that big when their other 60 million sales figures are taken into consideration.

I know 2 people who had to buy 2 because of laser problems etc. Those sales aren't very truthful...

After a couple of years and a few disc read errors... yes. :)

Heh, you'd expect that there would be more sales in Japan than in Europe. Not because there's a bigger population there (quite the opposite, in fact), but just because they're all so games crazy, prices are much lower in the East, and that Sony are Japanese, etc.
And the sales for all three areas are relatively similar. Gamecube is relying on Japanese (mostly) and American (lesser, but enough) sales, Xbox on European and American sales, while Sony is the only company who can safely say that they have the confidence from all three areas, so well done to them for that.
6 times more PS2s sold than Gamecubes or Xboxes then. They're both around the 10 million mark. Which is great news for Sony, although they haven't had a title worth shouting about released in months. Pro Evo 3 will change that, however.
3 times more PS2s than Gamecubes and Xboxes put together in the world. Are people actually buying two?

i don't think rpgs are as popular over in europe as they are in japan and america.
also i think konami couldn't be bothered to convert it in to loadsa different languages.
