The end of an era. Sony discontinues PlayStation 2

At first, the game console was no longer assembled in Japan, but now it has become known that the release of the console has been discontinued worldwide. PlayStation 2 was released in March 2000. Since then, more than 150 million consoles have been sold worldwide. This console has become the most popular console in history.
The total number of games for the PS2 is about 11,000, the total sales of which exceed 1.5 billion copies.



Perhaps the production of the set-top box, which has been released since 2000, has ceased due to Sony's preparations for the release of the PlayStation 4. It is expected that the new console will be released before the end of 2013.
