Since its release in 2000, the PlayStation 2 consoles have sold 157.68 million units.

The sales of different game consoles have been distributed across different parts of the world. According to the Learnbonds.com research report:

“The Learnbonds.com research also overviewed the sales of Sony’s PS2 and PS4 based on regions. Interestingly, Europe has emerged as the biggest consumer of Sony PlayStation platforms."

To date, The PlayStation 2 has sold 55.28 million units in Europe, followed by North America at 53.65 million units. In Japan, there are 23.18 million sold units while the rest of the world stands at 25.57 million.
