i wonder how they came about these numbers. i've work at a rental store for the last year and 360, Wii, and PS3 have crushed the PS2 rental wise. i don't know if that has anything to do with this but whatever.

I played my PS2 more this year then ever....which isn't much. Only reason why is because I got Katamari for it.

I was going to say MGS but that's PS1.

So what does this have to do with Game Development??

Thanks madhatter!

madhatter's point was that this is the forum for Sony development - i.e. asking technical questions, sharing information about development. Posts that don't relate to actual coding really belong in the General Gaming forum. ;-)

It isn't surprising that the PS2, with excellent backwards compatability and a library of what, thousands of games?, is still the most used console. Modern consoles are expensive - the PS2 was cheap when it was last on sale new, and is cheap as a second hand console and has been for a long time. The games, too, are generally cheap - much cheaper than the PS3 or 360. The console has been around for nearly 9 years and games are still just about made for it - longer than pretty much any console. Add to that a further 5 years or so of PlayStation and you have a library spanning 14 years. So it is no wonder.
