Hmmm, demand is still really strong. You have any idea how many have been sold? 24 Million is my guess, or maybe more...

I think that is a conservative number. All the stores in my area are always sold out of PS2s.... And for some reason I cannpt see 6 million PS2s just sitting on store shelves.

I believe I heard 27-28 million have been sold...but I'm not sure about that...
