    I was wondering how many left they could be in existance in full (not counting ps-one's) I have 20 myself and I'm sure many other people have much bigger numbers then that. :p Okay atleast like 100m were made of PS1's so how many could there be left of that huuuuge number? Discuss, There must be (imo) atleast 40m left. :3 or more? You choose!!!! D:

    i would say a hell of a lot are still around, they are cheap and cheerful consoles where you can get the games relatively easy and quite cheap, I have seen a resurgence of people buying them recently, especially for younger children who they dont want to purchase an expensive modern console

    I love this! :highly_amused:

    I've still got my original but I had to replace the laser a couple of times, I used to get loads from an aunt that worked in a charity shop which could not sell electrical goods, so she just gave them to me, I ended up giving them to friends and stuff and sold a fir few on eBay, I've no idea how many I actually have owned or passed on :dejection:

    Likewise with mega drives, I've LOADS of them sitting in my mum and dads attic!

    Some PSXs were really sturdy, I recall a picture of one in Iraq that was completely exposed the only parts of the case being the three buttons, and still ran games just fine

    I used to have a great deal but every time I'd mod one, test it and ship it off the new owner would use garbage CD-Rs burnt as fast as possible complaining that I shipped out a faulty unit.

    These days I pass on them but I find them regularly at thrift stores.

    I would say most, given that it seems any time a resale shop has a video game system, it's a PSX (sometimes the small redesign, but 80-90% of the time the original). It is probably the most plentiful system available, even though the PS2 outsold it.
