A recent article from You must login or register to view this content. let's us in on the enormous announcement that PS2 shipments in Japan are officially done.

Even new generation gamers know of this console and probably have owned one, but for all the veterns, such as myself, you guys know this is the end of an incredible era in gaming.

This console has been around for 12 years now and has met its end with the Ps4 and 720 on the way and it had a amazing run. The Ps2 has sold over 155 million units in its time in existence (Last recordation: March 2012), worldwide. It has also accumulated over 20,000 new titles and franchises, alongside the classic XBox.

The PlayStation 2 was also the first console to introduce the use of cameras integrated into gaming and also the first to put gamers head-to-head online. Ps2s may have had their flaws, but they truly were a one-of-a-kind system. With the usage of Grand Theft Auto to Final Fantasy and Madden to Crash Bandicoot. The PlayStation 2 was pushed to its absolute limit, earning its place on the wall of fame as probably the most remembered console of the gaming community.

I for one loved the ps2 and owned 6. All of which I still have packed away, for my children. How about you guys? Have any old ps2s laying around? Or any other old consoles? Any personal stories you'd like to share about your consoles? Or maybe your own opinions on the leaving on the iconic PlayStation 2?

Still got mine. I still use it to play old GTA games, old RE games and such. What a beast of a console it was.

So long PS2....
I remeber when the Sega Dreamcast was launched in 1999, and was completely unable to compete with the PS2. HA HA, take that Dreamcast!

Haxor!
Where my gaming truly started. I still have the odd blast on San andres to remind of the days when gaming wasn't competitive and just about having fun

Wow... I'm not going to lie I'm a bit upset about this. Definitely an end of an iconic era that's for sure. I am happy that I didn't trade in all of my games and both of my PS2s... fat and slim. Hopefully twelve more years from now PS2 will be collectibles and worth a pretty penny. Even then I wouldn't sell it.. hell I'd rather it become a family heirloom.
