Sony is celebrating the 7th anniversary of the PlayStation 2 by announcing that 120 million consoles have been sold worldwide making it by far the most popular gaming system ever released.
The company also said it had no plans to stop development for the PS2 until 2010 despite claims that the console was cannibalizing PlayStation 3 sales.
160 new games are expected for the system though March 2008 including "Guitar Hero 3", "Manhunt 2" and "Madden NFL 08" all of which should be huge hits. Additionally, Sony says it will be releasing a Ceramic White PS2 model bundled with "Singstar Pop" and two microphones for $149.99 USD.
"We look forward to the platform's continued growth and expect to sell approximately 12 million units worldwide by the end of March, leading us to anticipate that PlayStation 2's life cycle will exceed that of the original PlayStation," SCEA president and CEO Jack Tretton said in the announcement.
See you in 2010 PlayStation 2.
