And it will forever
There will be no console like the PlayStation 2. It was the second addition to one of the most culturally impactful consoles in Europe, it was, for a time, just as culturally relevant. It was big in Japan, it was big in the US, it hit every market.
Sony at a time once tapped into something special, now they're really just the only "sensible" option a lot of the time. No one's buying an Xbox.
