Long Live the PS2

Filed in archive Gaming Systems on April 22, 2007

According to an article in USA Today, the Sony Playstation 2 is still the best video game system in the United States, with 280,000 units sold, versus 259,000 for the Nintendo Wii for March of 2007.

Pretty amazing to think an old classic like the Playstation 2 would still outsell the Wii, the Playstation 3, and the Xbox 360., though not entirely surprising to me. I still love my PS2, and enjoy picking up used and new games at the local video game exchange. Many of my friends are the same as me, though more telling is the fact that the 15 year old that I spend a lot of time with through Big Brothers Big sisters still only has a PS2, and has no intention of picking up a PS3, and many of his friends are of the same school of thought.

Thanks to Make You Go Hmmm for the link to this interesting article.
