The new figures peg the PS2 as the highest-selling home console in history, beating the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Switch for the top spot. The last time Sony officially revealed the PS2's sales stats was over ten years ago in 2011.

In celebration of PlayStation's 30th anniversary, the media conglomerate confirms the PS2 moved 160 million units since its release in 2000.

Despite it no longer being in the market, the number of units sold has increased from previous official information.

Sony’s head of independent development at PlayStation and long-time game development leader for the console maker, Shuhei Yoshida, is leaving the company after over three decades. He helped produce some of the PlayStation’s earliest hits before moving onto help lead the platform’s powerhouse first-party studios across multiple console generations.

Long-time PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida, lovingly known as Shu, has announced his departure from Sony after 31 years of service. Although understandable, the announcement came as a bit of a surprise and in a rather unconventional way: an interview with the PS Blog.

It’s said that the device builds on the PlayStation Portal, which was originally designed as something akin to this before moving to streaming.
