"Playstation 2, its all in the name"

So we all know the next names for the Playstation consoles, Playstation 3, 4, 5, and 6 (.com's of them have all been taken by Sony, after someone got ps2.com... lucky)

So what do these numbers mean? Is it Sony beginning original? Couldn't be bothered to make a name up? Or does it have a real meaning?

The Playstation 2 has, the same controller as the Playstation, the same logo, (the PS thing), many games from the Playstation (sequels). So does the name have a meaning?... YES!

The Playstation 2 is a sequel console. It is a upgrade of the Playstation; it has games like Tekken, Grand Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, and more. So has the upgrade worked? Yes, it has worked, but if it wasn't backwards compatible it wouldn't be able to (in the words of er-no) ride the success of the Playstation so they can get though these bad times. A good example of this Syphon Filter 3 is coming out on the Playstation 1 not 2, and why is this? I leave it to you. I have a friend who has a Playstation 2, the game he plays the most is Smackdown 2.

Have you ever closed your eyes whilst playing the Playstation 2? The games feel like there the same, no real new experience there, shame really cause the games could be a lot better. I mean, Time Splitters is a good game and all, but it just doesn't feel new. When I first saw Goldeneye, I couldn't believe my eyes. 3-D graphics like I have never seen before. James Bond walking that famous walk, Facility was truly life like. This was a new experience I have never felt like that ever, until Zelda (I won’t go on)

Te name has been done before. Sega did it. Instead of doing a Nintendo and bringing an expansion pak out, they brought a upgraded console out. The Megadrive 2. Any similarities in the name?

I am not dissing the PS2, the games I have played, and the games coming out which I have seen on the game network (and read about in ukgames.com) look promising, but at the moment. It’s just a upgrade. I wanted a new console, like the Gamecube or X-Box. So Sony needs to make the Playstation 3 much more than just a upgrade. Because the Playstation 2 isn't a big enough jump (at the moment) to call it a next generation console.

FrEaK Of ThE DaRk.

I hate it when people sl@g off the name "playstation 2".

It's as though Nintendo's upgrade from "Nintendo entertainment system" to "super Nintedo entretainment system" was a work of genius. Then, of course came the dizzy heights of "Nintendo 64" what a name that was!

Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with any of these names, its just if people are going to sl@g off Sony for there lack of imagination in naming consoles, perhaps they should first look at who they are backing!

No, my topics contain correct and informative information. This is just a load of BS.

AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH


for pete's sake how many times must we go through this.

The PS2 controller is VERY VERY different well first off it's flipping black,second the dual shock is more accurate,third all buttons are fully analog so you obviously have never used one.


Upgrade?? just because it has a 2 on the end doesn't mean it's an upgrade! Sony don't need to think of a catchy name to market it.

Games all the same just with better graphics haha Nintendo bring back exactly the same game on every single console.


Everyone knows the name playstation which was originally PSX so why change it.

how many times must we go over stuff like this!!!!!

Very funny presuming you know freak of the DArk is NIS.

Why would anyone close their eyes to play on a PS2?

It's quite beyond me.

The Playstation 2 was in the beginning, little more than a tarted up PSOne. Simply because of the games. But as for the hardware?? The PS2 contains an original Playstation inside it, as well as the new PS2 stuff.

If anyone tries closing their eyes to play games such as Zone of the Enders, Extermination, Red Faction, Onimusha, Kessen, SSX or Timesplitters, please let me know if you feel like you are just playing PSOne games, please??

What is this?
