A History: The Playstation and its evolution
PS3 Vault has a fascinating history of the PS and how its evolved with the tastes and trends of gaming. It’s actually a nice, well-written bio of the platform and its various forms, from its humble beginnings in 1994 to its current form as the boundary-pushing PS3.
An excerpt:
When you consider Sony’s current hold on the gaming market, you would be forgiven for thinking they have been in the console game since day one. However, despite their success over the past two decades, Sony were considerably late arrivals in the console market, but it took the electronic giants little time to play catch up when their first generation console arrived across the globe in 1994. With SEGA and Nintendo leading the gaming market in the late 80s and early 90s, Sony entered into fierce competition, when they announced the development of their own console system – named The PlayStation (or PS One as it’s more commonly known today).
