+Sony's record-smashing and astronomically popular followup to the PS1. Releasing on October 26th, 2000 in North America, the PS2's "Emotion Engine" CPU + GPU (16.7 mil colors; 640x480 or 1920x1080(!!) with mods) + 32 MB of RAM wasn't extremely powerful, but this did not matter to the market. Selling 155 million units over more than a decade, the PS2 became the best selling video games console in history, a title it still holds today.
