 Sony Playstation 2 Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Sony also stated that it has "aspirations to really change the definition of what really is a videogame," and is actually viewing the PlayStation 2 as part of a focus on "in-home digital entertainment." (Company officials noted that there are currently 1.2 billion television sets on Earth.)
Sony was also almost certainly wrong in its suggestion that the desktop PC is "shifting radically into specific applications, rather than general use." In fact, the opposite seems more likely.
After hearing Sony speak on the subject, I came away wondering whether it was even going to be important to judge the success of the PlayStation 2 as a videogame system.

The VCR lived in the family room beside the TV, the computer occupied the cluttered desk in the busiest room in the house, and the videogame system was relegated to an old 13-inch television in the children's playroom.
With the PlayStation 2 sitting next to the VCR, and likely bumping the cassette deck into the garage sale pile, this fl box could be what brings the Internet and interactive broadcasting to the masses--at least that's what Sony envisions.
Rumors abound on the 'net about the PlayStation 2 being especially difficult to program--meaning it could be some time before game-makers and other program authors are able to take advantage of the box's full potential.
