It’s hard to imagine that the PlayStation 2 is only eleven years old. With so many upgrades, new fangled gaming consoles, hacks and mods, the world has certainly seen much better devices since the PS2.

According to the sales numbers in this story, that just isn’t quite true. As of January 2011, just a couple of months before its eleventh birthday, the PS2 reemphasized that it is the best-selling gaming console (including hand helds) of all time. It surpassed the 150 million units sold mark. If you do the math on that, it averages out to over 37,000 consoles sold, each day for its eleven years in production…and it’s not done yet.

Where will it stop and what numbers will it reach? Check back in another eleven years to find out and read the rest of the story while you are waiting. To pass the time, pick up a copy of the 1.52 BILLION titles that have been sold for it and get your game on.
