PS2 still rules, Sony to ship 1M PS3’s in 2006

Everyone’s focus is on the next generation consoles and their sales figures, but the fact is that PlayStation 2 is still dominating the market. In fact the PS2 is out-sold all other entertainment systems in November and seems to be going towards yet another succesfull holiday season. But the revenue stream of PS2 sales is truly needed by Sony, which is expected to make huge losses per every PlayStation 3 sold. Still, Sony is committed and according to the source on delivering one million PS3’s in 2006.

“The six-year old PlayStation 2 continues to dominate the market, outselling all other computer entertainment systems in November, including much newer systems from the competition. PS2 also topped the software category, out pacing all other system’s sales by almost three times. PSP (PlayStation Portable Player) had a very good November as well, seeing a jump in sales of nearly 50% and a strong increase in software sell-through. These sales figures bode very well for SCEA as it offers a computer entertainment system for every taste and budget this holiday season.”
