The PlayStation2 becomes the most popular console to ever appear in Europe, shifting over 40 million units to date...
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today celebrated achieving the landmark success of 40 million PlayStation2 units throughout Europe and other PAL territories.
The figure marks the PlayStation2 as the most popular console in Europe, eclipsing its predecessor (and previous holder), PSone, which managed to shift just over 39 million units. Into its sixth year since launch, comparable figures for the first six years of the PSone in the region stood at 33 million units, suggesting there's plenty of life in the PS2 just of yet.
''We are extremely proud of the continuing success of PlayStation 2'', said David Reeves, SCEE President and CEO. ''In the last month or so sales of PlayStation 2 throughout Europe and PAL territories has exceeded 100,000 units per week, which is extremely pleasing and proves the format is as popular now as it ever was. Through the continual development of new and innovative gaming titles, in particular the social gaming phenomena such as EyeToy, SingStar and BUZZ! PlayStation 2 will remain the computer entertainment system of choice for new and experienced gamers alike.''
