"To celebrate the console's 25th birthday in America, Piscatella posted some fun stats about the PS2 on social media. Did you know that the 8mb memory card was the PS2's most sold accessory with a 61-percent attach rate? Overall, 147 million accessories were sold in the United States for the PS2. Wowza. And for those curious, here are the top 20 best-selling PlayStation 2 games of all time based on unit sales."
"While I expected the GTA games to top the chart, I was surprised to see Medal of Honor: Frontline, Final Fantasy X, and God of War crack the list, too. Also, wow, EA really was a force to be reckoned with back then, huh? What a different time for video games. Then again, GTA leading the pack hasn't changed much in 2025, so I guess the more things change..."
