Playstation

Released in December 1994, the PlayStation revolutionized the video gaming industry as Sony's first home console. It marked a significant shift with its use of CD-ROM technology, allowing for larger, more complex games compared to cartridge-based systems. The PlayStation introduced a new era of 3D gaming graphics and brought iconic franchises like Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, and Gran Turismo into the mainstream. Its popularity helped cement Sony as a major player in the gaming world and set the standard for future consoles. The PS1's influence is still felt today in game design and entertainment technology.
