Sony’s first Playstation console was released in the mid nineties as part of a bid to take control of the 32 bit gaming market. Sony’s impressive and innovative marketing campaign, combined with the irrefutable power of the new console ensured massive public interest.

The Playstation was also the first console to successfully implement the usage of CD rather than the traditional cartridge. CDs had been used earlier, but with many glitches and production difficulties. The Playstation effectively ushered in the new age of gaming media.

The Sony Playstation became wildly successful due to highly popular games being produced, such as early classic shoot ‘em up Doom. The console system enjoyed a variety of diverse titles, reining over the Nintendo 64 which continued to be restricted by Nintendo’s stringent family friendly policy. The Sony Playstation eventually became so popular that it enjoyed possibly the longest production run for any games console.
