The '''PlayStation''' (known early in development as the '''P'''lay'''S'''tation E'''X'''perimental, or '''PSX''') was [[Sony Interactive Entertainment|Sony's]] first video-game console and it was launched in 1994. The system was widely popular and quickly became the bestselling home console, only to be surpassed by its successor, the [[PlayStation 2]].
It was initially set to be an add-on for [[Nintendo Company, Ltd.|Nintendo]]'s [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] as an answer to Sega's Sega CD. When the prospect of releasing the system as an add-on dissolved, Sony transformed it into the PlayStation video game console. Ironically the game system that was supposed to help Nintendo hindered them instead since the ''Final Fantasy'' games from VII onwards were released on the Sony platform instead of the successor of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], the Nintendo 64 due to space restraints and other technological hindrances.

On September 19, 2018 at the Tokyo Game Show, Sony announced and revealed a microconsole version of the original PlayStation hardware dubbed the '''PlayStation Classic'''. Following in the vein of Nintendo's [[NES]] and SNES revivals, the PlayStation Classic is an HD-adapted [[emulator]]. The device includes two replica gamepads and hosts 20 preprogrammed games, including the original version of ''Final Fantasy VII''. The console released December 3, 2018 and retails for US$99.99.

Initial reviews of the PlayStation Classic were mixed-to-negative, with a majority criticizing the device's build quality, overall game lineup, and implementation of the included games; for the last, the unit uses Eurozone (PAL/SECAM) releases with lower screen redraw rates.

Revision as of 11:07, 3 May 2020

The PlayStation (known early in development as the PlayStation EXperimental, or PSX) was Sony's first video-game console and it was launched in 1994. The system was widely popular and quickly became the bestselling home console, only to be surpassed by its successor, the PlayStation 2.

History

The PlayStation was initially set to be an add-on for Nintendo's Super Nintendo Entertainment System as an answer to Sega's Sega CD. When the prospect of releasing the system as an add-on dissolved, Sony transformed it into the PlayStation video game console. The Final Fantasy games from Final Fantasy VII onwards were released on the Sony platform instead of the successor of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Nintendo 64, due to space restraints and other technological hindrances.

The PSone (also PSOne, or PS1) was a smaller and redesigned version, released in 2000. Sony also released a small LCD screen and an adapter to power the unit for use in cars. The PSone is fully compatible with all PlayStation software.

Revival

On September 19, 2018 at the Tokyo Game Show, Sony announced and revealed a microconsole version of the original PlayStation hardware dubbed the PlayStation Classic. Following in the vein of Nintendo's NES and SNES revivals, the PlayStation Classic is an HD-adapted emulator. The device includes two replica gamepads and hosts 20 preprogrammed games, including the original version of Final Fantasy VII. The console released December 3, 2018 and retails for US$99.99.

Initial reviews of the PlayStation Classic were mixed-to-negative, with a majority criticizing the device's build quality, overall game lineup, and implementation of the included games; for the last, the unit uses Eurozone (PAL/SECAM) releases with lower screen redraw rates.
