6.63 Million to go for the world record!

You mean about 5 million to go before Sony "finds" another 5 million PS2's that they sold but completely forgot about lol. As of right now, the Switch has 100% already outsold the PS2, probably by about 20 million. Take Sony's picture they released almost 10 years after the long agreed upon 155mil total PS2 sales figure was given, conveniently just as the Switch started looking like it would break the 155mil record:

This means that they produced 160 million PS2s. Not sold - produced. I personally had 2 PS2 replacements for free from Sony, so 2 of those 160 million produced were not sold. With how widespread the PS2 issues were - and remember that Sony lost multiple class action lawsuits over their hardware failures - millions upon millions of those 160 million produced consoles were given away as replacements.

We don't know how many Switch consoles Nintendo have produced, just how many they have sold - though obviously they could also count produced as sold like Sony do. Sony confirmed their position, Nintendo haven't - so at this stage we have to assume the Switch is the best selling console of all time.

On their site they say "sold worldwide", have they mentioned anywhere that they are counting produced instead of sold?

Who, Sony or Nintendo?

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh, Sony. Sorry, wasn't clear.

[–] FreedomAdvocate 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Sony posted a photo of the last ps2 ever produced, which has an inscription on it with the exact number of consoles that they produced in total. That number is the number that they also say they have “sold”.

It’s literally impossible for them to be the same, yet that’s what Sony now are claiming.

Ahan, interesting. Thanks for the info.
