Er zijn in totaal nu 6 miljoen PS2's en 31 miljoen PSOne's/PSX's in Amerika in de omloop.
"(...)Overall in 2001 we forecast that 66 percent or $2 out of every $3 retail console dollars will result from sales of PlayStation products.
"Our retail partners are reporting to us that 2001 will be the best year yet for videogame sales," added Tretton. "For 54 months straight, the PlayStation busine has been the sales leader in every category in which it competes. We have maintained that succe by providing both the PlayStation enthusiast and new consumers with a wealth of entertainment at affordable prices."De reden voor deze goede verkopen is de grote groei in de 'home entertainment' markt sinds de aanslagen van 11 september, en het feit dat de concurrenten vrij snel uitverkocht waren.
