Hello
Lions, have you heard of a brand called Playstation. Well most of you
should but if you don’t know then keep reading. Playstation is a series
of video game consoles created and developed by Sony Computer
Entertainment. The brand was first introduced on December 3rd, 1994 in
Japan with the launch of the original Playstation console. Right now
there are 4 Playstation consoles which are Playstation 1 (PS1)
Playstation 2 (PS2) Playstation 3 (PS3) and Playstation 4 (PS4). It
also consists of a media center, an online service, a line of
controllers, two handhelds and a phone, as well as multiple magazines.
The Playstation 1 was the first console to ship over 100 million units
9 years and 6 months after its initial launch. Did I tell you that the
playstation1 was released on December 3rd, 1994. Well the Playstation 2
was released in March 4th, 2000, the Playstation 3 in November 11th,
2006, and the Playstation 4 was released in November 15th, 2013.
Also the first handheld game console in the Playstation series, the
Playstation portable or (PSP), has sold of total of 80 million units
worldwide as of November 2013 by its successor, the Playstation Vita
which was launched in Japan on December 17, 2011.
The Playstation TV is a micro console and a non portable variant of the
Playstation Vita handheld game console. Other hardware that was
released as part of the Playstation series includes the PSX (a video
recorder which was integrated with the Playstation 1 and the
Playstation 2, but since it was at high price then it was never
released outside Japan), as well as the Sony Bravia television set
which has an integrated on the Playstation 2.
