Despite being out of production, the console still managed to find itself with five million more sold units than last we heard in 2012.
During an episode of the PlayStation Podcast, Ryan was speaking with senior communication director Sid Shuman, senior communications specialist, and content communications manager Brett Elston when the discussion of the PlayStation in the 2000s, the most well-known of the PlayStation lineup — the PS2 — had its sales number discussed, where Ryan marks around 160 million units worldwide.
