PlayStation 2 – Oct. 26, 2000
Dynasty Warriors, Ridge Racer V, SSX, Timesplitters, and Unreal Tournament are just some of the standout titles that launched alongside the PS2, one of the most successful video game consoles of all time.
And even though the launch lineup was quite impressive, that’s not what sold people on the PS2 at first. It was the library of titles that would come later in the PS2’s life cycle that would cement it as a gaming gem.
Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy X, Metal Gear Solid 2/3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and plenty of other iconic titles helped shape the future of what a Sony console could be like.
And holy heck, there were just so many different genres of games available on day one! Plus, this bad boy doubled as a console and a DVD player. Talk about doing it all.
