The Best Consoles - PlayStation 2

The PlayStation 2 is widely regarded as the best PlayStation console that has been released to date. After being released by Sony 17 years ago in the year 2000, approximately 155 million units were sold between its release date on March 4, 2000 until the day it was discontinued on January 4, 2013. The PS2 was one of the first consoles that I ever played. Some of my favourite games to play on it were, The Simpsons Hit and Run, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Need for Speed: Underground 2 and FIFA. The PlayStation 2 was one of the best consoles ever made and it will a classic console that will always be remembered regardless of how many more versions of the PlayStation are made. -Mark
