Gaming Console - Then VS Now

My first gaming console was the PlayStation 2.
My current gaming console is the PlayStation 4.

The PlayStation 2 was released on 4th March 2000.
The PlayStation 4 was released on 15th November 2013.

Comparing these two consoles together, the PlayStation 4 is now able to do a lot of things that the PlayStation 2 could not, such as;

• Online functionality (the PlayStation 2 could be played online but required an adaptor to do so)
• Purchasing games digitally, completely removing the need of a disc.
• Running much larger games and processing them much faster than a PlayStation 2 could.
• Better graphics.
• Wireless Controllers that also feature motion sensing technology, letting the player move to controller to play.
• The ability to transfer save data through cloud storage, rather than using a memory card.
• Online achievements known as 'trophies', this gives players a goal outside of the main game.

The reason I liked the PlayStation 2 console was because it featured many exclusive games I have grown up with and love, some of these games are even now available on the PlayStation 4 to be downloaded digitally. A reason I like the PlayStation 4 is because it allows me to play online, letting me enjoy the games with other people, friends and strangers.

Some of my favourite games on the PlayStation 2 console were the 'Jak and Daxter' series and the 'Kingdom Hearts' games. These games are still available for purchase today on the PlayStation 4's digital store.
