The PlayStation 2 is a console manufactured by Sony. It is capable of playing DVDs, and uses a similar format as a medium for its games. It has 2 controller ports, along with 2 memory card slots, though the number of controllers can be expanded by means of a multi-tap. It is generally considered to be the least powerful of its generation of consoles, unless the commercially unsuccessful Sega Dreamcast is included. Despite this technical handicap (and reported early difficulties with programming for it), it was commercially the most successful of the sixth generation of consoles. (the others being the Nintendo GameCube and the Microsoft Xbox).
