Topic: Nintendo Dominates December Sales, 2009 Overall

To be fair, if the systems were manufactured (shipped), then odds are they ended up in consumers hands at some point. Its hard to conceive that there are stockpiles of millions of unsold PS2s out there somewhere. So if Sony "shipped" it, then odds are its in someone's hands.

Unless they are like those old E.T. atari games that are now in a landfill somewhere...

I think you misunderstood. The problem is that does "shipped" mean sent to a store to be sold or does "shipped" also mean sent out as replacements to broken consoles.

I don't doubt that the PS2 has the highest console failure rate ever as I've heard a lot about systems breaking and having issues and what not, but it is still all anecdotal evidence. I was just wondering if anybody ever did research on the amount of systems that were broken (and replaced), as it would be nice to have some solid facts to give us an idea of exactly what such a number is.

Probably doesn't exist in the wild.  Tracking and disclosure wasn't so robust back then.

The only one who might have any kind of solid idea of it is Sony, and there's no way they're going to make it public if they do.
