PS2 went on for 13 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_2

> Sony finally announced that the PlayStation 2 had been discontinued after 13 years of production – one of the longest runs for a video game console.




Nintendo's Family Computer (aka the Nintendo Entertainment System in the rest of the world) was released in 1983 and only discontinued in Japan in 2003. Even after that they still repaired consoles until 2007.


Sega's 8-bit Master System console is still being sold in Brazil.

Who makes them now though?



Are they paying a license to Sega then?


ah the PS2, what a sturdy built console, a department store nearby kept selling those for years (like pancakes)


I still have one sitting in front of me. And it's for one game: Metal Gear Solid.


AMEN to that! I also keep them for a machine with lower subversion risk. Unlikely given most didn't even use the Ethernet. Fortunately, I've got other options for now so I can remain a MGS, Final Fantasy 7, and whatever machine. :)
