Jun 30th
The playstation 2 is the gaming console in response to the Microsoft’s xbox and the Nintendo game cube. The playstation 2 is one of the sixth generation gaming consoles. Playstation 2 is the best selling gaming console with over 136 million sales till today. The success of PS2 has led to the development of new games some of which are due to release as long as 2010 making PS2 the longest ever gaming console. Thus the sixth generation is maintained due to PS2.
The story of PS2 is like a fairy tale. The models when released got less attention and only a few million people had bought the console. It was difficult for the console to find its way to the retailer shelf. The breakthrough came when Sony had tactically advertised PSP and revealing that PS2 is the first step in developing the PSP. And the second breakthrough came when the gamers started developing block buster games for the PS2. The PS2 was an instant success and the sales rocketed. The PS2 issues a twin shock controller which is till today a very cool piece of controller. The only negative issue about the PS2 is its size, the size is somewhat large and game cube being the smallest was proving to be a heavy competition to the PS2. Another issue is that the game cube support open market games which, is not achievable in PS2. But on the whole if one is looking for an economical and long term gaming console, the PS2 answers your call.
Nintendo Wii

Nintendo WII is the seventh generation console which is released by Nintendo. Nintendo Wii like, any other gaming console supports all kinds games, but what makes it so special among its competitors is its motion detecting hand held wireless controller.
The Nintendo Wii is the fifth gaming console released in the game cube series and it supports all the games compatible for game cube. The beauty of the Nintendo Wii is that it is the smallest game console ever released in the market. The device measures just around 4 mm (1.73 in) wide, 157 mm (6.18 in) tall and 215.4 mm (8.48 in) deep when kept in the vertical position. It is also the lightest gaming console in the seventh generation and not like the xbox 360 which is a bit heavy. Another astonishing feature of the Nintendo wii is its wireless capability. The wireless connection is achieved through wi-fi facility and other gamers can also join if an internet connection is present. The problem with the Nintendo Wii is that it does not give smooth performance while playing as in xbox or other playstations, but one can forgive those defects as the motion sensing controllers are a real beauty and works just fine. The Nintendo wii costs around 280USD which is pretty economical for a motion detecting game console.
