The PS2 clearly isn't going to let go of its astronomical sales record any time soon, as Sony has announced that a further five million of the things were somehow sold since it last reported numbers in 2012.
On the official PlayStation history page, it's been newly confirmed that the PS2 sold over 160 million units worldwide since its release in 2000. It was already quite comfortably the best-selling console of all time with the previously reported figure, which placed it at "more than 155.0 million" sell-in sales (to retailers) in March 2012. So, uh, who were the five million people buying brand new versions of a console that'd been out for at least 12 years to boost that number further in the years since?
