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.

Sony confirms how much PlayStation 2, the best-selling console in history, has sold: here's how much Nintendo Switch has left to catch up.
