He received recognition for his graphics and popularization of DVDs.
Japanese National Museum of Nature and Science added along with seventeen other items to the console PlayStation 2 To register of technological heritage of the future. This is the first game console on the list, which currently has 380 entries. Among the devices and innovations that originated in Japan and influenced people’s lives, economy, society and culture, we can find the VHS format, Walkman, as well as CD and DVD players.
The popularization of DVDs is one of the factors that helped the PS2 become a prestigious company. The console was very competitively priced, even cheaper than many DVD players. Thus, it played a “significant role in the practical use of multimedia.”
However, the museum highlights the contribution of the console from Sony On the graphics: “Its beautiful graphics rivaled the arcade game consoles of the time and allowed for realistic facial expressions.” Since the release of the PlayStation 2, home consoles have defined the graphical shift in gaming.
In addition to the PS2, the list now includes Seiko Chariot Quartz watches, Opus 8 sewing machines, and MIDI-equipped synthesizers.
