The new figures peg the PS2 as the highest-selling home console in history, beating the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Switch for the top spot. The last time Sony officially revealed the PS2's sales stats was over ten years ago in 2011.

In celebration of PlayStation's 30th anniversary, the media conglomerate confirms the PS2 moved 160 million units since its release in 2000.

Despite it no longer being in the market, the number of units sold has increased from previous official information.

Nintendo's Switch might be nipping at its heels, but PlayStation 2 continues to hold the record as the best-selling console of all time - with Sony now confirming the machine has shifted a whopping 160m units since launching all the way back in March 2000.

Sony has finally confirmed the lifetime sales of the PlayStation 2, coming in at a whopping 160 million consoles sold worldwide.
