Information

The PlayStation (プレイステーション , officially abbreviated as PS; unofficially referred to as the PSX or PS1)
is a 32-bit fifth-generation video game console first released by Sony Computer Entertainment in Japan on 12/3/1994.

The PlayStation was the first of the PlayStation series of consoles and handheld game devices. In 2000, a re-designed, "slim" version was released, called the PSone, replacing the original grey console, and also being renamed to avoid confusion with its successor, the newly-released PlayStation 2.

The PlayStation was the first "computer entertainment platform" to ship 100 million units, which it had reached 9 years and 6 months after its initial launch. The last game for the system was FIFA Football 2005 released in October 2004, and the last PSone units were sold on Christmas 2004 for a total of 102 million units shipped.

Games continued to sell until Sony ceased 100% production of PlayStation games on March 23, 2006; eleven years after it was released, and just over half a year before the release of the PlayStation 3.
