Bman's Memories
The first console I saved up for myself, the PlayStation 2 carries many fond memories for me. Coming from the brightly coloured games of SEGA and Nintendo systems, the PS2 was a very different beast. Bringing along games like: Grand Theft Auto III (I was amazed at the huge scope of this game), then its sequel - Grand Theft Auto Vice City where I stayed till I'd completed it 100%, fighting games like Tekken Tag Tournament and Marvel vs. Capcom 2, arcade perfect ports of games like Time Crisis 2 and the Dance Dance Revolution/Dancing Stage series and the endless stream of racing games like Gran Turismo 3. This console was what I like to believe the stepping stone to me coming back into at-home gaming, as before this, I'd begun to play a lot of handheld games on the GameBoy.
From Wikipedia
The PlayStation 2 (abbreviated as PS2) is a home video game console that was developed by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is the successor to the PlayStation, and is the second installment in the PlayStation lineup of consoles. It was released on March 4, 2000 in Japan, October 26, 2000 in North America, November 24, 2000 in Europe, and November 17, 2000 in Australia. It competed with Sega's Dreamcast, Microsoft's Xbox, and Nintendo's GameCube in the sixth generation of video game consoles.
Announced in 1999, the PlayStation 2 was the first PlayStation console to offer backwards compatibility for its predecessor's DualShock controller, as well as for its games. The PlayStation 2 is the best-selling video game console of all time, selling over 155 million units, with 150 million confirmed by Sony in 2011. More than 3,874 game titles have been released for the PS2 since launch, and more than 1.5 billion copies have been sold. Sony later manufactured several smaller, lighter revisions of the console known as Slimline models in 2004 and well on, and in 2006, announced and launched its successor, the PlayStation 3.
Even with the release of its successor, the PlayStation 2 remained popular well into the seventh generation and continued to be produced until January 4, 2013, when Sony finally announced that the PlayStation 2 had been discontinued after 13 years of production - one of the longest runs for a video game console. Despite the announcement, new games for the console continued to be produced until the end of 2013, including Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin for Japan, Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 for North America and Europe, and FIFA 14 for Brazil.
Sony unveiled the PlayStation 4 console the following month on February 20, 2013, and launched the console in November of the same year.
