PS2 Sales Surpass 160 Million, Cementing Legacy as Best-Selling Console

Sony has announced that the PlayStation 2 has sold over 160 million units worldwide, with an additional 5 million units sold since the last reported figures in 2012. This cements the PS2's status as the best-selling console of all time, surpassing the Nintendo DS's 154.02 million units. Despite the PS5 being Sony's most profitable console generation, it still trails behind the PS2 in total sales. The Nintendo Switch, with 146.04 million units sold, continues to close in on the PS2's record but faces challenges with the upcoming release of its successor.
