PlayStation2 has smashed the 40 million sales mark around the world.
Sony has proudly announced the worldwide sales of its beloved black box to span over 40 million, from its launch in November 2000 up until of September 17 this year. Europe and PAL regions claim 12.06 million units in total, North America has 17.01 machines and Japan has sold 10.97 units.
"The PlayStation2 user-base across Europe, Africa, Middle East Australia and New Zealand continues to accelerate and to grow the market for computer entertainment on TV based consoles," said Chris Deering, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. "The recent and forthcoming line-up of new software titles on PlayStation2 is the strongest in our history. Reviews have been outstanding, and the range of choice between now and Christmas is just awesome."
With such a massive amount of sales is there any realistic chance Sony can be toppled?
I own the three consoles and personally I prefer Xbox, but with some great games coming are Nintendo and Microsoft always going to be second best?

In my defence I bought a PS2 at launch myself. The Xbox was a present from my sister and the Gamecube was from my parents.

40 million, thats alot of PS2's.
Thats strange, I thought it was 40 million PS2's shipped. If they`ve been sold already, then great, thats good news, but it was extremely fast work!
That works out at approx 60,000 units sold each day.....eeek!
SIXTY THOUSAND A DAY for the last 672 days.....jeepers creepers.
God I hope my maths is ok, someone please confirm that :D
