Editing Emotion Engine (section)

== Uses ==
The primary use of the Emotion Engine was to serve as the [[PlayStation 2]]'s CPU.

The first [[PlayStation 3]] revisions produced also featured an Emotion Engine on the motherboard to achieve backwards compatibility with PlayStation 2 games. However, the second revisions of the [[PlayStation 3]] lacked a physical Emotion Engine in order to lower costs, performing all of its functions using [[software emulation]] performed by the [[Cell microprocessor|Cell Broadband Processor]], coupled with a hardware Graphics Synthesizer still present to achieve PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility. In all subsequent revisions, the Graphics Synthesizer was removed; however, a PlayStation 2 software emulator is available in later system software revisions for use with Sony's PS2 Classics titles available for purchase on the Sony Entertainment Network.

The Emotion Engine was also used in the [[PSX (digital video recorder)]] as well as the HDTV television models Sony WEGA HVX (Model Numbers KDE-xxxHVX/KDL-xxxHVX) and Sony BRAVIA KDL22PX300, all of which used PlayStation 2 hardware.
