The PlayStation 2 introduced casual gamers to a hard-core
gaming console because of simple features like an in-built DVD player which
were quite expensive at the time of release, the PlayStation 2 was offered an
affordable price interesting even those who had no interest in video games
whatsoever. This was well before the release of popular mobile gaming platforms
such as iOS and Android devices which further increased accessibility to video
games for casual gamers.
The PS2 was the bestselling video game console of all time
selling over 155 million consoles in total conveying how much it influenced the
video game industry. The PS2 proved that video game consoles didn’t need to
purely video game consoles and could introduce other media to attract a larger
audience. An impressive total of 3874 games were created for the system from
all genres paving the way for new video game franchises that exist today only
due to the popularity of the PS2 system. The PS2 arguably influenced the gaming
industry more than any other console.
