Sony reminds the gaming world that the PS2 turned seven years old today.
Since first launching in North America on Oct. 26, 2000, more than 120 million PS2s have been sold worldwide, making it the best selling console of all time.
"While today's anniversary celebrates PlayStation 2's past, we're very excited for its future," said Jack Tretton, president of SCEA. "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 lifecycle will exceed that of the original PlayStation."
From all of us at GamePro, happy birthday, PS2!
