Outgoing PlayStation CEO Claims PS2 Has Sold 160 Million, Yet Some Don't Believe Him

Stand down Cryin' Jim... stand down...

He's probably just rounding the number up, if those other numbers are correct, it's highly doubtful it sold the extra 5 million but referring to 157 million as 160 is quite likely

Exactly what @carlos82 said. The man was rounding. Leave it to the internet to get their panties in a twist over a sales number.

Interesting how two of the reactions are from Nintendo fanboys and the third specifically mentions the Switch in the comment. Feels like He-Man saying he's 6'3" and the only people that that take issue with it are Skeletor's henchmen.

I didn't like Ryan much but people are morons whenever he says anything.

my uncle works at nintendo and he told me that the wii u sold 160 million and 1 units

The internet can be such a lovely and positive place at times.

just why do people care about this kind of *****.. this is so cringe

(not the article , i meant fanboys and nerd fights)

Where's the evidence Ryan? People just make stuff up.

Sony stopped reporting the PS2 sales numbers after a certain point. That’s why there’s an asterisk after the number on Wikipedia. 160 million (or close to it) is very possible.

Nintendo could cut the Switch price after releasing its successor to make it the budget, entry-level option. That’d give Switch a shot at making 150mil+ numbers.

I truly despise fanboys, of any console.
Imagine wasting so much time and energy, fighting over a piece of electronics.

I'll always remember Jim Ryan as the guy who refused to greenlight Days Gone 2 simply because the game didn't meet a high Metacritic score despite selling millions.

And Sony has made some really bad business decisions under his tenure. Still don't know why Sony agreed to the decision to allow Disney to take up to 50% in royalties for every copy of the Spiderman games sold, and now Sony has somehow lost billions in stock because they're forecast to sell 5 million less PS5s.

I find it fascinating that the Switch is as close as it is when you consider it never had a price drop.
