Gamasutra - Interview: Sony's Koller On 50 Million PS2 Sales In North America (http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=21837)


Going from 30 million on PS1 to 55-60 when it's all said on PS2 and down to 15 million, they really must be kicking themselves for buying into Krazy Ken's vision.

thats success...50 Million consoles in North America...wonder what the total global sales are...probably another 100mil is my guess...i just did a search, couldn't find anything on that

congratz to sony

new qtr numbers come fairly soon, I do know JPN is flat at 20 million, Not sure of EU but IIRC it's was a bigger market than USA, so I'd assume WW is somewhere between 130-150

[LiNuX]

yea thats believable - and I read somewhere that after the 2006 year or something the total sales for PS2 was around 120 mil...forgot where, I was half asleep - it was last night btw when I was researching to find the total sales up to now

FT.com / Companies / Retail Consumer - Sony sets 150m sales target for PS3 (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/1c46ad2e-5678-11dd-8686-000077b07658.html?nclick_check=1)

According to this article it's at 140 million..assuming shipped and not sold through.. 140 shipped at E3 I'd assume it's around 144-146 million at this very moment.

140m about 6 months ago, so probably another few mill in the next few months

we were close on our assumptions on the sales
