The first physical game to launch with trophies was PixelJunk Eden, and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune became the first to feature a platinum trophy. Released in 1994, the original PlayStation proved to be a phenomenal worldwide success and signalled Sony's rise to power in the video game industry. During one week in November, British sales totalled 6,000 units—compared to 70,000 units a few weeks prior. There are a variety of non-Sony manufactured memory cards available for the PlayStation2, allowing for a memory capacity larger than the standard 8MB. Its launch elicited critical acclaim and strong sales; it eventually became the first computer entertainment platform to ship over 100million units.Though Sony has kept details of the PlayStation 2's development secret, Ken Kutaragi, the chief designer of the original PlayStation, reportedly began working on a second console around the time of the original PlayStation's launch in late 1994. The PlayStation 2's DualShock 2 controller retains most of the same functionality as its predecessor.

marks the 10-year anniversary of the PS2's launch, so what better way to celebrate the beloved console than to look back at all the great games we've enjoyed on the system? As a sixth-generation console, it competed with Nintendo's GameCube, Sega's Dreamcast, and Microsoft's Xbox.

It was also during this era that the rise of rhythm games began to explode, with the likes of Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Dance Dance Revolution, and SingStar becoming popular on the platform.

The Xbox had the most powerful hardware, while the GameCube was the least expensive console, and Nintendo changed its policy to encourage third-party developers. Even after the release of its successor, the PlayStation 3, it remained popular well into the seventh generation. When Mark Cerny unveiled the system architecture earlier this year at GDC, he talked about creating a console that is easier for developers to create their worlds without hitting bottlenecks. Available in late October 2004, it is smaller, thinner, and quieter than the older versions and includes a built-in Ethernet port (in some markets it also has an integrated modem). The Emotion Engine was referred to as a "128-bit" processor in marketing materials, referring to its SIMD instructions that operate on 128-bit wide groups of integers in a single instruction, but the customized variant of the MIPS III instruction set architecture implemented by the processor uses general registers with a size of 64 bits.Later reviews, especially after the launch of the competing GameCube and Xbox systems, continued to praise the PlayStation 2's large game library and DVD playback, while routinely criticizing the PlayStation 2's lesser graphics performance compared to the newer systems and its rudimentary online service compared to Xbox Live. The standard PlayStation 2 memory card has an 8 megabyte (MB) capacity [62] and features MagicGate encryption.
