PlayStation Still The Console King
It's been lost in all the hype over this holiday season's console wars, but the reigning king of the living room is still Sony and the PlayStation-- both versions, in fact.
IGN has a story that puts sales of the PS2 and PS1 combined pretty close to the numbers being claimed for the Xbox and the GameCube-- not bad considering the PS2 was last year's big winner, and the PS1 is long in the tooth indeed:
According to SCEA's internal sales data, there were more than 317,000 PlayStation 2 units and 100,000 PS one consoles sold through to consumers during the week of November 19, with PS2 sales being up 62% from the previous week. Meanwhile, during the week of November 26, there were more than 321,00 PS2 units and 100,000 PS one units sold.
The current console battle is really a battle for second place.
