Playstation 2The Playstation 2 games console represents the best games console currently on the market and arguably the best console ever. It is easy to see why it is so popular. The Playstation series of consoles has been a veritable Godzilla in the gaming industry, smashing all competitors in the way. When the original Playstation debuted in 1995, few could anticipate just how far the system would penetrate into the market. Who would have imagined that giants like Nintendo and Sega could be toppled by this new entry into the field?

| Playstation 2 has sold 50 million units worldwide since late 2000. The system outsells its nearest competitors (XBOX and Gamecube) by an amazing three to one ratio. The games now available in the PS2 library are affordable and of high-quality. Thousands of players now compete online ever since a network adapter was released for online play. At the heart of the PS2 is the "Emotion Engine" CPU clocked in at around 300 MHz (slower than both Gamecube and XBOX). It has 32 MB of Rambus memory with a bandwidth of 3.2 GB/s. Its video processor runs at 150 MHz with a DRAM bandwidth of 48.0 GB/s. It runs at an effective polygon rate of 13 M/s though Sony claims it peaks at 75 M/s in 24-bit colour. So while the PS2 falls short in processing power, it makes up for it with a good graphics processor.

It is the games that make and define a console and the PS2 has loads of these. The beauty of the PS2 is that it handles all genres of gaming well from car driving games all the way through to football games.Extra controllers and memory sticks can be bought as extras. Multiple controller ports can be purchased and plugged in for added multi-player flexibility. The PS2 is soon to be superseded by the PS3 which will take gaming onto a whole new platform. The PS3 will offer better gaming than its predecessor and it will have online capabilities to rival any other games console on the market. The PS3 will have direct competition from the Microsoft XBox360 and Nintendo DS. It has a lot of work to do to maintain its dominant position in the market and in consumers hearts.
