Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced that it has sold 1.5 million units of the PlayStation 2 since the week of Thanksgiving helping to establish an installed user base of 6.5 million units in the US. Sony also claims that according to TRSTS reports from the NPD Group, PlayStation and PlayStation 2 software sales have accounted for more than two-thirds of the video game software market during the month of November. Sales from the PlayStation family of products, including hardware, software, and peripherals, have generated more than $700 million in revenue during the same time period.
Konami's Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was the best-selling console game in November, followed by Grand Theft Auto III, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Harry Potter: The Sorcerer's Stone, Madden NFL 2002, and WWF Smackdown! Just Bring It. In all, the PlayStation family of products accounted for five of the top 10 best-selling console games in November and more than 60 percent of that total revenue.
"Clearly, data for the first month of the holiday sales season indicates that the entire PlayStation family of products will soundly outsell all competitors combined, despite the heralded introduction of new game consoles during this important month," said Jack Tretton, senior vice president of Sony Computer Entertainment America. "We recognize the importance of delivering products that provide the greatest overall value for the consumer and are happy to see that consumers are placing their support behind the PlayStation brand once again this holiday season."
Seems PS2 is still holding a firm grasp on to the computer market. And today in America Final Fantasy X is released. Its released 1 week ahead of schedule so its in stores for christmas rather than being on Boxing Day.

ps2 now has quite a solid bunch of games and the number is increasing which is a good thing for sony and a bad for its rivals (maybe not the xbox which keeps stealing all the good titles).
Hah...everyone mocked PS2 and it's thrown the mockery right back in their faces with GTA3, DMC and so on.
I always knew it would do well in the end.

Oh and now its going to take square about 8 months to convert it to a European/Pal game yet it took them about only 5 months to do the hard bit which was gettig the voice acting in English and also every menu and subtitle.

Nobodies mentioned the little bit at the end that I put in. Final Fantasy X is out today. People in America are probably right now playing this game. Its been brought forward a week as the original launch date was 26th.
The Ps2 is doing so well that the xbox and gamecube have a lot of catching up to do in terms of units sold.
And people said the PS2 would fail, i laugh in there faces. Its good to see it doing really well too, it just shows how good the console is and likes by many many people, even after the pre-order problems of a year ago.
Of course the PS2 is doing well come on the PS2 not doing well? that can never be
