The PlayStation all started with one man ken Kutaragi a sony engineer ken first became interested in working in video games in 1988 after seeing his daughter play games on Nintendo's entertainment system console full of inspiration can approach Nintendo to create a cd from drive for their upcoming super Nintendo system the new drive was to be called the super disk Nintendo agreed and ken brought together a research and development team with insane in 1990 the following year at CES sony would show off the Nintendo compatible super disk now codenamed the PlayStation it was a multimedia powerhouse capable of not only playing Nintendo games but also audio CDs data CDs and video CDs a pretty big deal for 1991 unfortunately for sony disaster was around.
The corner just one day later Nintendo would surprise everyone with an announcement they announced that they would break their partnership would say in making the super disk and partner would Phillips instead to work towards the same technology this made the president of sony nor ogre furious even more unfortunately for ken other employees within sony thought that the idea of entering the video game industry was a bad and they let him know about it in 1992 a meeting was held within sony to discuss the future of the PlayStation.
The concept was very close to being scrapped but ken reminded notion of how Nintendo had dishonored the company while the world was watching nor even agreed to let the PlayStation project continued however the older generation of sony executives were still very unhappy about sony entering the video game industry this force can and his newly formed team to leave songs main headquarters and continue work at sony music headquarters with the groundwork for the new project sorted sony had a to make should this console focus on 2d graphics or 3d polygon graphics while the team are contemplating this dilemma a new gaming phenomenon was taking over Japanese arcades it was virtual fighter a 3d polygon game by sega the sony team now had their answer not long after this in 1993 sony computer entertainment would be formed out of the CEO of sony music and ken could arrive himself the involvement of sony music was actually a blessing in disguise as the marketing creative talent and manufacturing of the discs could be done in-house saving both time and money.
The following year in a Tokyo hotel sony would showcase some technical demos the technical demo showed in the hotel session were good enough to open the floodgates for keen developers big players like electronic arts and Namco were now interested so what caused all of this interest the PlayStation had solid 3d graphics and most importantly CD capabilities which are a major step above present day cartridges in December of 1994 the PlayStation was let loose in japan its main competition was the sega Saturn never really there was a loud fluid and free in real time 3d never not anywhere but especially not on that other-other system simply because with only one processor it does not have the power to do fly plaything fly you ar not already strong but despite this the sega Saturn ultimately proved to be a failure.
The main reasons being that the PlayStation sold for cheaper and was also much easier to develop for meaning many more games than the sega Saturn a PlayStation worldwide release would occur in 1995 and popularity soared the PlayStation would be the first console to cross 100 million sales and would go on to become an iconic consumer product of the 1990s not even the Nintendo 64 could dampen the success of the sewing machine the PlayStation successor the cleverly titled PlayStation 2 would be the best selling home console of old time selling 155 million unites as time went on the PlayStation 3 and four would both smash hits solidifying sony as a leader in livingroom entertainment being rejected by Nintendo turned out to be one of the greatest things that happen to sony so before we wrap up the for all your knowledge seekers out there lets take a look at five fun facts about the original PlayStation number five have you ever wondered what the square triangle 0 and x actually mean well lets take a look.
