PlayStation 2 Has Sold Over 160 Million Units Worldwide According to Jim Ryan

In a recent episode of the official PlayStation Podcast, Sony Interactive CEO Jim Ryan revealed that the PlayStation 2 has sold over 160 million units. When asked about how the 2000s were for PlayStation consoles, Ryan said “The 2000s? That would be, I would say, 160 million, which is the number of PS2s that we sold. “A high watermark.” It’s worth noting that Jim Ryan has officially left his position as the CEO as of the end of March. He will be replaced by Hiroki Totoki, Sony Group’s COO and CFO on April 1. His appearance on the podcast was part of the celebration of his career. The PlayStation 2 launched all the way back in March 4, 2000. In 2012, it was announced that the console had sold over 155 million units worldwide. The console is also regarded as one of the best and successful consoles ever released.

Details for PlayStation’s latest exclusive, FOAMSTARS:

Let the bubbles fly!

Get ready to join the foam-blasting frenzy in the new 4v4 foam-party shooter, as you blast through battles using foam to attack, build and defend!

Time to Fight Foam With Foam!

Attack your opponents by dousing them with foam! Hit them enough and they’ll get foamed up, leaving them completely defenseless.

Create 3D battles with mountains of foam, as it builds and alters the terrain around you. Mold the landscape to give your team the upper hand, and keep your opponents on their toes!

An Exciting New Way to Battle!

Once you’ve got an opponent foamed up, surf at them at high speed to slide kick and knock them out of play! But if someone on your team is foamed up, you can use the slide kick to rescue them and keep them in the match.

Meet the FOAMSTARS, the quirky and colorful cast of athletes taking part in the FOAMSMASH tournament. Of the many great athletes taking part in the FOAMSMASH, only those few with enough charisma and skill will be crowned FOAMSTARS.

Each FOAMSTAR uses their own unique foam gun and skill set to fight, who will you choose as your champion?
