Jim Ryan Reports That PlayStation 2 Console Has Sold 160 Million
Former Sony boss Jim Ryan, who left office, made remarkable statements. In his statement in this context, he claimed that PlayStation 2 produced by Sony had sold 160 million units.
Jim Ryan made various statements in the PlayStation podcast
Along with the official PlayStation podcast he hosted after his retirement, Ryan made some statements in a new interview. Various questions were asked about PlayStation 2, the popular console of the 2000s, and Ryan stated that this console has now sold 160 million units. Although it is already the best-selling console of all time, it was previously reported that the PlayStation 2 sold 155 million units.
Since Sony no longer officially publishes sales reports of the second generation console, such sales numbers are, of course, just a claim. On the other hand, earlier this year, Nintendo reported that its handheld console Switch had sold 139.36 million units. This means that the Switch needs to sell more than 20 million units to surpass the PlayStation 2.
Finally, Jim Ryan has officially left Sony as of today and has been replaced temporarily by Hiroki Totoki (CEO).
