The PlayStation 2 is Sony's second-generation foray into the videogame market. It was first released in Japan on 4 March 2000, North America on 26 October 2000, and across Europe on 24 November 2000, stealing a massive jump on both Nintendo and Microsoft.
The PlayStation 2 was the first home console to include an in-built DVD drive. As of November 2005, Sony has sold more than 100 million units of the PlayStation 2, which beats equivalent sales of the original PlayStation by three years and nine months.
