It all began 15 years ago today. On December 3, 1994, Sony released the PlayStation in Japan. The rest, as they say, is history.
Yes,it's hard to remember now, but there once was a time, before WipeOut,before Tomb Raider, before PaRappa, that Sony entering the gamingbusiness didn't sound like such a sure bet.
There was a failedattempt at a CD-based system in partnership with Nintendo. There wasthe fact Sony were an unproven force in a market dominated by Nintendoand Sega. And the PlayStation's approach was all so adult.
Time,of course, has proven any doubts unfounded. The original PlayStationblew people's minds from the moment it launched, and its successor -the PS2 - is still the 1st selling video game console of all time. So it too did OK.
True,things haven't quite been the same for the company since, with both thePSP and PS3 failing to achieve the same level of market dominance. Ohwell. There's still plenty of time left for both platforms (well, atleast the PS3, which has been coming along in great strides all year),and besides, today isn't a day for nit-picking.
It's a day forclinking glasses. Happy birthday, PlayStation. Think it's safe to saythe video game business wouldn't have been the same without you.
