The original Sony Playstation was one of my absolute favorite video game consoles when I was growing up. I never could lose the fun factor that came with the games and the console itself. There was just simply too much to love and too many good games to sit down and really just stick to it, there was always something else to move on to. That didn't die off with the Playstation 2. In fact it was only inhanced 100%. The PS2 was truly a great console, having the most superior graphics in its time and having an absolute massive amount of great games to play. It was backwards compatiable with the Playstation, so you could play all Playstation games on the PS2. That was awesome, considering how many great Playstation games there still were and people wanted to play. There were a variety of awesome new games coming out as well, including Kingdom Hearts.
That is the main reason, to me, that the Playstation 2 was the winner over all the other available consoles. The interest in Kingdom Hearts was massive. In fact, I was so interested in it, I bought the Kingdom Hearts Guide book to read before I even had a Playstation 2 just to get a better look at it. I may have used it later to help me out, but I got it just to get that taste for it. It's such a great game, and it all started on Playstation 2 so that makes the PS2 stand out very high for me personally. Plus the always great Final Fantasy, with X and XII being on PS2. Sonic the Hedgehog had a few games come out, and a compilation disc, and that was really enjoyable to have those back again. It sold over 150 million consoles worldwide, being the highest sold console ever. Sony sold over 100 million Playstation 1 consoles as well. It was very clear that they hit the mark on making video game consoles. The Playstation 3 has sold over 50 million units, although not nearly as successful as its two original consoles. The Playstation Portable has sold over 67 million units itself.Â
It doesn't seem that Sony will outdo it's PS2, and for very good reason. It had the best controller, the coolest look, DVD and CD playability, backwards compatability to one of the best consoles of all time, awesome sequel games to the originals, and brand new games that became worldwide smash hits. The Playstation 2 had all 8 cylinders running high. It will remain number one in sales for a long time to come, because Sony did everything right with the PS2.
