The PlayStation 2, released by Sony in 2000, was the best-selling console of all time (over 155 million units). It played both PS2 games and original PlayStation titles, used DVDs (also boosting DVD adoption), and had a massive game library with hits like GTA: San Andreas, Metal Gear Solid 3, and Shadow of the Colossus. It stayed popular for over a decade, with production ending in 2013.
