Top 10 PS2 Games
In the US today, Sony is celebrating the seventh birthday of the brilliant PS2 console. The company was also quick to re-commit to the ageing console¢s 10-year lifecycle, saying there¢s still plenty of life in the old dog yet, not least of which is 160 games due out between now and March next year.
Since its launch on October 26, 2000, the PS2 has racked up sales of over 120 million units and over 1 billion software titles have been sold.
For those who think the high-def PS3 and Xbox 360 rule this these days, think again: another 10 million PS2s will sell in the next five months alone. So, out of all the games launched, which ones have been the biggest sellers?
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (13 million)
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (12 million)
Grand Theft Auto III (11 million)
Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (11 million)
Gran Turismo 4 (8.79 million)
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (7 million)
Kingdom Hearts (5.6 million)
Final Fantasy X (5 million)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (3.7 million)
Final Fantasy XII (3.68 million)
I was quite surprised at this list, I guess I never would have placed the Gran Turismo titles that high up. Still, those are the facts.-Martin Lynch
