Sony PlayStation 2

Sony · 2000

The best-selling games console ever made, at over 155 million. The Emotion Engine was genuinely strange to program, but the machine's real advantage was playing PlayStation discs and DVD films — in many households it was the first DVD player. The fat and slim models differ in expansion and reliability.
