PlayStation 9
A North American advertising campaign for the Sony PlayStation 2 featured the "PS9", the fictional far-future successor to the PS2.

According to the advertisement, PS9 was released "new for 2078", and featured electronic spores that tapped directly into a person's adrenal gland, improved retinal scanning, a mind control system, holographic surround vision, and telepathic personal music. The fictional system came in a small translucent sphere that, when opened, would release the spores and begin the gaming experience. PS9 is apparently an example of biotechnology.

Note that if the current five-year cycle for consoles was continued, the PS9 would actually be launched around the year 2035, rather than the 2078 of the commercial.

Method Studios, the special effects house behind the advert, has placed the commercial online.

PlayStation 9 - Teleport yours today
The PlayStation 9 is a fictitious console created for the purpose of advertising the PlayStation 2. The commercial described the "beginning" of the PlayStation regime in the video game world. This regime began with the PlayStation 2. Sony used this advertisement created by Method Studios. The visually pleasing PlayStation 9 is an orb that is set in a futuristic society in the year 2078. A consumer who just purchased the PS9 allows the device to enter his eye. The device then connects to their brain through the adrenal gland. The orb then sends images of games and allows the user to believe they are in the game. This is a play on the sophistication of "Virtual Reality". There is speculation that this commercial was origianlly made to convey a Playstation that could go anywhere with you, and could be making a reference to the then future PSP.

The result of the debate was MERGE to Playstation 2. This said, that article doesn't really seem to have much of a space for this, so I'm just going to redirect and leave someone to merge for themselves; it's all in the history. -Splashtalk 21:31, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
