Sony Confirms PlayStation 2 Sales Surpass 160 Million Units

The PlayStation 2 remains the best-selling console of all time as Sony celebrates the brand's 30th anniversary.

Sony has updated its PlayStation history page, confirming the PlayStation 2 has sold over 160 million units since its 2000 launch.
The PS2's success is attributed to its innovative features, including backward compatibility, a built-in DVD player, and a vast game library.
It remains ahead of the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Switch, which have sold 154 million and 146 million units respectively.
Sony's announcement comes as the Nintendo Switch 2 is anticipated to challenge the PS2's record, though its success remains speculative.
The PlayStation brand celebrates its 30th anniversary with special edition PS5 consoles and accessories honoring its history.
