Released in 1994, the PlayStation was Sony Computer Entertainment’s first video game console. It would go on to be a hit among gamers of all ages and genders due mainly to its affordability and accessibility. While it initially competed with Nintendo 64s for dominance as one of the fifth-generation consoles, Sony eventually emerged victorious through better marketing strategies that targeted more social demographics–a strategy soon adopted by Microsoft when they sought Playstation exclusivity for their Xbox 360 games library.
The industry has changed dramatically since then but there is no doubt that without this forebear many other innovations may have never happened like virtual reality goggles or motion controls!
