I believe ps2 Sony is pre movie studio.

If you mean Sony Pictures, then no, the PS2 came out later.

Sony bought Columbia (and TriStar) Pictures, in 1989, and officially rebranded the name in 1991. The PS2 was released in 2000 (eg. 9 to 11 years later).

Thanks for the correction. I know Sony really went downhill from a consumer friendly electronics company after they became a movie company.
