PlayStation 2

[EN]: The PlayStation 2 has brought lots of memories to gamers since March of 2000 in Japan. For many people, the console also became their first DVD players. It has become one of the most popular consoles with over 150 million units sold. Even after the launch of the PS3 in November of 2006, many memorable games were still available for the PS2, and it is still supported by some companies. But every console has to say good-bye sooner or later.

Sony Japan has decided to discontinue the shipment of the PS2. The European and American branches of Sony Computer Entertainment have not made any announcements yet, but it is most likely it will follow suit.

As a fan of Japanese games, I guess this is the best time to buy a Japanese PS2 console, before the prices go up. I just wonder if the upcoming PlayStation console will come with backward compatibility for the PS1, PS2, and PS3.

Even though there will be no more new PlayStation 2 consoles on sale, one new game will be on sale in 2013 for it in Japan: Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin.

Though many of the most popular games released for the PS2 are coming to the PS3, it’s hard to forget the many amazing titles that were released during the PS2’s lifetime.

[EN]: El PlayStation 2 ha traído muchos recuerdos a los jugadores a partir de marzo de 2000 en Japón. Para muchas personas, la consola también se convirtió en sus primeros reproductores de DVD. Se ha convertido en una de las consolas más populares con más de 150 millones de unidades vendidas. Incluso después del lanzamiento de la PS3 en noviembre de 2006, muchos juegos memorables estaban todavía disponibles para el PS2, y sigue siendo apoyado por algunas empresas. Pero cada consola tiene que decir adiós antes o después.

Sony Japón ha decidido suspender el envío de las PS2. Las filiales europeas y americanas de Sony Computer Entertainment no ha hecho ningún anuncio todavía, pero lo más probable es que va a seguir sus pasos.

Como fan de los juegos japoneses, creo que este es el mejor momento para comprar una consola de PS2 japonés, antes de que los precios suban. Me pregunto si la próxima consola PlayStation vendrá con compatibilidad para versiones anteriores de PS1, PS2, y PS3.

Aunque no habrán más nuevas consolas PlayStation 2 a la venta, un nuevo juego sí estará a la venta en 2013 para aquello en Japón: Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin.

Aunque muchos de los juegos más populares lanzados para el PS2 están llegando a la PS3, será difícil de olvidar los muchos títulos sorprendentes que se publicaron durante la vida del PS2.
