PlayStation Celebrates Its 25th Anniversary!

Hard to believe that it has been 25 years since the original Japanese launch of the Sony PlayStation in December of 1994! Over the last 25 years, PlayStation has been a global leader in the games industry and its consoles have been top sellers. To celebrate Sony Interactive Entertainment President and CEO, Jim Ryan, has released a small blog post thanking gamers for their long-time commitment to the brand. Celebrations occurring throughout the week have also been confirmed for social media. Here’s hoping they might sneak in a few PS5 tidbits as well!

I myself have owned every PlayStation system released to date and have especially fond memories of the PS1/2. Playing through MGS1 and Chrono Cross back in the day was mind-blowing! The whole rivalry between the PlayStation and N64 is also very fascinating from having lived through it and its historical impact on the industry as a whole. Then there was the PS2 and its landmark success! I can’t even count the number of hours I sunk into classics like MGS3 and Ace Combat 5. PS3/4 has lost my interest quite a bit, but those early years of PlayStation will forever be some of my favorites. Happy anniversary PlayStation and thanks for all the memories!

What are some of your favorite PlayStation memories?!
