SONY PlayStation 2 released 25 years ago today, October 26th 2000 in North America.
What else can I say other than the PS2 is one of the greatest and most important consoles in the history of video games. There's simply no debating that.
The PS2 is legendary. Period.

To anyone who might need to hear this right now:
Remember that even if only ONE person enjoys the content that you create—YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL.
Don't get lost in the numbers. Just create what makes you happy. Someone out there is going to LOVE what you make!
And a little is a lot if it's enough.
