Sony has updated the PlayStation website to mention that the PS2 is now at a staggering 160 million units sold worldwide since its launch 24 years ago.

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.

While it was assumed at one point the hybrid system only needed to shift another 15 million units to surpass this milestone, PlayStation's ex-CEO Jim Ryan burst this bubble earlier this year, claiming the PS2's lifetime sales were recorded as 160 million units.
