Even though Sony’s PlayStation 2 (PS2) is now more than 24 years old and has not received official support since 2018, it cannot be denied that its existence will still be remembered by the gaming industry as the best console of all time.
One interesting thing, this title is increasingly attached thanks to the National Museum of Nature and Science of Japan, which recently officially named the PS2 console as one of the “Technological Heritage of the Future”.
According to Game*Spark, the heritage list is a series of scientific and technological achievements that are considered to have an important influence on culture and people’s lives, so that their history must be passed on to future generations. Here are the reasons for its inclusion:
- The world’s first home video game console with the ability to play DVDs.
- Having the most advanced basic specifications of its time, as well as its visual beauty, it is possible to create realistic expressions that add value to a game.
- It was released at a lower price than DVD players of its time, which helped popularize DVD consumption.
- As a product that actualizes the usefulness of multimedia tools.
Still the best-selling console
The above achievement can certainly also be seen from the number of console units that have been sold. It is known that Sony itself recorded total PS2 sales that have reached 160 million units, making it the video game console with the most sales units.
When ranked by video game consoles with the most units sold, the top five are as follows:
- PlayStation 2 | >160 million units
- Nintendo DS | >154 million units
- Nintendo Switch | >143 million units
- Game Boy & Game Boy Color | >118 juta unit
- PlayStation 4 | >117 million units
