Sony announced Thursday that worldwide shipments of its PlayStation 2 video game console have surpassed 50 million units, broadening the electronics giant's lead over rivals Microsoft and Nintendo. Sony said that since the console was introduced in Japan in March 2000, it has shipped 21.5 million units to North America, 16 million to Europe and 12.5 million in Japan. Nintendo has projected that worldwide sales of its GameCube console will hit 16 million by March 30, the end of its current fiscal year. Microsoft projects sales of 9 million to 11 million Xbox consoles by the end of its current fiscal year on June 30. Both rival consoles arrived on the market a full year after PlayStation 2. | ||

| Come out, come out, whereever you are mooresa or macross! Jerk wants to play! I belive this confirms everything I stated about a month ago. Sony hits 50 million just after holiday season. MS is predicting they'll have 2/3s of Nintendo's marketshare THREE MONTHS after Nintendo projects to hit that target. At best, MS has sold somewhere between 5 and 7 million units. |

SJ, lets see....Microsoft is doing better than they had expected. And to think, if they have 11 million XBoxes sold by June, there goes a potential BILLION + dollars in game and hardware sales for Sony. Sony would have loved to garner in those 11 million users. In addtion, Xbox will have 11 million users by June and the Xbox came out a year AFTER the PS2. And it is spanking Nintendo sales! Not to mention, Sony has had the Playstation out for YEARS!

| #2 - it only becomes obsolete when another product has come out to replace it - a new PS3 is a few years off yet so it is far from obsolete and is still an excellent machine producing far better games than the other consoles have been doing bar Halo and Metroid Prime. |

| byron, just dont try to play an online game with a ps2. SOCOM will be a letdown, I promise. But oh, Ghost Recon is so nice on XBox LIVE. |

| Obsolete means nothing is being made for it anymore - so that kind of means the Xbox and GC would be more obsolete than the PS2 wouldn't it? Far less games are coming out for those than the PS2...I just think people should get over it, no matter what anyone says, PS2 has done fantastically well it is a very good console, yes Xbox is better - but then it should be, it was released a year an a half after the PS2 yet the games on it haven't been as good so far. |

| #9 - I wasn't planning to - but then again the Xbox is designed from the ground up for online playing, I personally wouldn't be playing my Xbox online if it wasn't for reviewing purposes. |

| It is ok but nothing I can't get on the PC...yes it is better on the Xbox, but I buy consoles for single player games myself and so far no title on Xbox Live! has made me change my mind. |
