In 1997, rumors began to surface about the successor to Sony's Playstation console. Those rumors became reality in 1999 when Sony began talks of a new console called the Playstation 2 (PS2).
This next console was going to be incorporating a dvd drive it would use power of a chip called the “Emotion Engine” (created with partner Toshiba). be able to play DVD Movies and music CD’s right out of the box, and be backwards compatible with the original Playstation software. http://darkwatcher.psxfanatics.com/console/ps2.htm (for extra info)
