Well a ps2 is obviously, just a plain ps2. From the ending "multisystem" it sounds like ps2 may be used for more than just Video Games? Like its a system, that can be used for different reasons..

Sony PlayStation (PS1): can play PlayStation software and CDs

Sony PlayStation 2 (PS2): can play PS2 software, CDs, DVDs, it's backward compatible with PlayStation software, and has online game play capability.

PS1 is an outdated system and is generally no longer supported. Although it is showing it's age, PS2 is still supported by Sony and new consoles, games, and accessories can be purchased at most retailers.

The PlayStation was it's name before they needed to number them. Now because some people call the PS3 a PlayStation it really needs the number so everyone will know that you are talking about the older machine. The PlayStation name can be used and is used to mean any of the Sony consoles even if it is not totally accurate.

All about PlayStation?

Ok, well heres the first thing. There are 3 different playstations. PlayStation 1,2,and 3. I have the second one. Nobody sells playstation 1's anymore, playstation 2 & 3 are popular,though. PLaystation is like any other game console, it has games and is pretty fun. The big difference between playstation 2 and playstation 3 is that playstation 3 had internet connection, but the bad side is that it costs about $500. A playstation 2 is pretty much the same as the third but without internet. Currently, PlayStation 2's (or PS2's) are around $100-$180.
