The PlayStation 2 is now 10 years old! makes me feel old knowing that this great machine is hitting it's10 year mark. I still remember the first time i saw the PlayStation 2, i was at a friends house showing me the First Devil May Cry and Final Fantasy X, that blew me away and i instantly got my own unit.
Since its initial launch, The PlayStation 2 has sold over 146 million units worldwide and believe it or not some are still being sold to this day. During it's time it was a cutting-edge machine, having DVD playback and high end graphics for 300$. The price didint shy customers like the PlayStation 3 as the console went out of stock in a matter of hours.
The PlayStation 2 apparently had other features as it grew in age. Down the line they added a online gameplay add-on, The PlayStation Network Adaptor released in 2002,and the EyeToy Camera in 2003. This system continued great Titles such as Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo, and Final Fantasy. They also introduced great Titles such as Shadow of the Collosus, Zone of Enders, God of War, Devil May Cry and many more.
Don't think this great machine is already dead, Sony is still supporting it by releasing some games to the PlayStation 2. Now in 2010, the PlayStation 2 costs 100$ and still selling here and there. PlayStation 2 is so close to being shelved but the fact that it made 10 years in the market is a great achievement for Sony.
