Sony’s PlayStation 2 – the best-selling gaming console of all-time – has seen its final days in its native Japan. After over 150 million pieces of hardware sold over a period ranging nearly 13 years, Sony has revealed that production of the console has ceased in Japan.
Develop Online cites a report from famous Japanese source Famitsu stating “that Sony has told the nation’s retailers that it will not deliver any more PS2s for sales in stores. Once current stock is sold no more will arrive.” It’s important to note, according to Develop Online, that “Sony has not confirmed whether it will stop production of the system for other territories,” though we’ve reached out to Sony for clarification on this point specifically.
