Sony’s PlayStation began in 1994 and has completely changed the face of gaming forever. The original PlayStation was created as a direct rival to Nintendo, after a deal between the two fell through. The PlayStation became the first video game console to ship 100 million units.
Its successor, the PlayStation 2 (PS2) was released in 2000, a year before its direct rivals the Xbox and Nintendo GameCube. Good news for Sony, as the PS2 became the fastest console to sell 100 million units.
The PS2 was backwards compatible with most original PlayStation games and went on to become the most successful home console in the world, selling more than 155 million units – a title it still holds today!
The following consoles haven’t enjoyed the same successes but the PS3 sold over 80 million units, whereas the PS4 sold 79 million. Like the consoles that came before them, the PS3 and PS4 were refreshed as slim versions. Exclusively to PS4, it was upgraded to the Pro, allowing for 4K resolution and improved PlayStation VR performance.
