Year after year, the PlayStation 2 still keeps chugging along. Sony has announced that it recently crossed the 150 million mark in worldwide shipments for the console.
The magic number was totted up on the 31st January according to the company - ten years and eleven months after the original design landed on Japanese store shelves in March 2000.
What's even more astonishing is that over 1.5 billion units of software have been sold since launch (until December 2010). The exact figure, if your eyes need to pop out that little bit more, is 1,527,000,000 units. Criminy! That's spread across 10,828 releases as well.
Along with the figures, it looks like the PS2 may be around for some time yet - Sony has said that it expects demand to continue for the platform in Eastern Europe, South Africa, South East Asia and the Middle East.

funny when you round down to the nearest 100 million, since when was 27,000,000 a insignificant number lol.
