The 25th anniversary of the PS2's launch in North America has just come and gone, and not without a delightful new bit of historical trivia: a definitive list of the console's top 20 best-selling games in the US. Perhaps the biggest difference between the sales charts of that era and today is the fact that there's no Call of Duty to break up the dominant reigns of GTA and Madden, but there's a little nugget for Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy fans, too.
"The PS2 sold over 46.5M units in the US, with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas its best-selling game in both units and dollars," Mat Piscatella of game industry analysis group Circana says in a Bluesky post. "Over 147M accessory units sold for PS2, with the PS2 8 Meg Memory Card moving 28.3M units with a 61% attach rate."
