Yes, they sold over 140 million PS2s and 105 million PS1s. Still have my first year PS2 working perfectly although a bit beat up and dusty. Only had to do single DVD drive lens adjustment a couple years ago. Same thing my Nintendo consoles.
It's shameful Microsoft put out such a defective and poorly designed console with the 360. They knew they were failing like crazy before the system launched and they went ahead and tried to deny it for over a year before finally having to spend the 1.1 billion on RRoD repairs.
It is ironic that some fanboy tried to use the astroturfing accusation. Microsoft was actually paying a company to have people sit around in gaming forums to do damage control over the RRoD issue. One of the people they were paying finally came clean on neogaf a year or so ago.
Vista, post SP1, though has turned out to be a fantastic OS. Too bad Microsoft is wasting their time with this Xbox fiasco and letting PC gaming die.
