European PS2 Sales Hit 40 Million

The PS3 might be taking a kicking in the media and from potential disgruntled customers but there is no denying the success of the PS2, which has just passed the 40 million sales mark in Europe.

That’s 1 million ahead of the PSOne and takes the global tally for PS2s to a whopping 110 million. David Reeves, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, commented:

“We are extremely Ps2_silver proud of the continuing success of PlayStation 2. In the last month or so sales of PlayStation 2 throughout Europe and PAL territories has exceeded 100,000 units per week, which is extremely pleasing and proves the format is as popular now as it ever was.”

Considering the deserved flak Sony is taking for screwing up the launch of the PS3 in Europe, and the global notebook battery recall fiasco, it’s a refreshing change to see Sony having some good news to talk about.

Now get back to work and make more PS3s.
