Almost all the genres have at least one or two hit tittles. When it comes down to it, its game line-up is out of this world and the PS2 with its library of more than 1,800 original titles will probably be considered the strongest in the history of gaming. That’s not to say a console is only about marketing and hardware. Just like the PlayStation, Sony put a lot of effort into making it friendly for third-party designers. It was a powerful and innovative design, specially optimized for 3D gaming. This was the nickname given to the central processor of the console. The “Emotion Engine” was one of the biggest marketing points in the early days of the PS2. With the inclusion of the DVD device, adults could now have consoles in their sitting rooms, unlike when they had to tuck it away in the basement or in the kid’s room. In addition, it was actually the first game to introduce DVD media, which turned out to be a great marketing idea considering the fact that it was introduced at a time when a lot of families used DVDs – Sony gave buyers an opportunity to enjoy their movies and game in one device.

Even though Sega Dreamcast started 128-bit generation before them, the PS2 was closely behind them and even had better hardware capability. They took advantage of the momentum from the first PlayStation, which successfully captured the adult game market. The console’s extraordinary success can be attributed to certain factors. Their longevity was amazing, considering the fact that the first set of units came out early 2000 and they produced the last set about a decade after in 2012. They sold approximately 155 million units across the globe. It won’t be far-fetched to say that of all the consoles in the history of video games, Sony’s PlayStation 2, known as PS2 has recorded the most success.

PlayStation 2 is one of the most famous video game consoles in the world.
