Sony World
An Impressive Line-Up of Software
The year under review saw a growing list of new hit titles for the PS2 and PS. In Japan, Square Soft,
Inc.’s Final Fantasy X, Capcom Co., Ltd.’s Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, Metal Gear Solid 2—Sons of
Liberty—by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan, Inc., and Dragon Quest IV from ENIX Corpora-
tion were all hits. In Europe and the U.S., major hits included Grand Theft Auto 3 from Take-Two
Interactive Software, Inc.; Electronic Arts Inc.’s Madden NFL 2002, FIFA
Football 2002 and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone; Metal Gear Solid
2—Sons of Liberty—by Konami; and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 from
Activision, Inc.
Following up on its success in Japan, SCE’s Gran Turismo 3 A-spec
was a huge success in Europe and North America. This software takes full
advantage of the sophisticated image-processing capabilities of the PS2,
delivering high-resolution graphics and realistically reproducing the
handling characteristics of an actual car. Cumulative worldwide sales of
this title have surpassed 8 million units.
