alright. ps2 launched october 2000.
I can't find numbers for 2000 and 2001 anywhere, but all the news articles from 2000, indicate sonys shortage resulted in thme shipping at most 1.3 million in 2000, after launching in october. I dunno how many they shipped in japan and europe tho.

the 360 sold a million and a half units worldwide in basically a single month tho. I dunno if we're counting from the may japan ps2 launch or what,but the ps2 definitely didn't put that many on the ground in a month anywhere

it's a tough count because you're going worldwide launch vs. localized staggered launches, if anybody can find the numbers for sony's original hjapanese and europe shipments it may help. I had forgotten the ps2 launched so far ahead in japan originally. did they have ANY good games at the japanese launch?

t's hilarious reading those comments from 2000 tho. the ps2 launch almost exactly mirrored the circumstnaces of the 360 launch. worried ass third parties, shortages, execs coppin pleas.
