Advantages: Good Graphics, Takes discs

Disadvantages: Discs get scratched easy, Now out of date, little amount of games coming out for it

Now, for those of you who have not read one of my more recent reviews, I say something that has absolutely nothing to do with the object in question. This shall happen right about......NoW!:

Charlie Brown.

Now I have got that out of the way I shall now get onto what you want to hear. (actually read but hey, who cares?) The playstation is one of the biggest pieces in the jigsaw of what is todays gaming industry. It is up there along with Pong (the first ever home gaming thingy-majig) and The SNES (read my review if you know nothing about it. No not this review, its a different one. Go. GO NOW. unless you don't want to then stay.). Without it Sony wouldn't of Been the gaming giant it is today and if it would of stayed where it was ( did you know that at first Nintendo owned playstation but later got rid of it?) Nintendo would probably know own 99% of the worlds gaming industry and the world would be a better place. Or not...

When the PS first came out I personally thought that it was a bit of a flop. On a good day, and I mean realy good day, The snes could probably equal that of a bad PS game. I mean games like Jumping Jack Flash and Loaded. If tyou have ever experienced any of these games you'll know how bad the graphics were. They ever had the cheek to make a sequel to these two flops.

It grew from obsecurity in about 1996 when GOOD games came out like Tomb Raider with its heroin Lara Croft and Crash Bandicoot is also another big name star that made the PS go from the Flop Top To Top Ten

The playstation, for those of you have been under a rock from the mid nineties (actually if you've been away for that long you would know about the internet. well you might. but most probably not.) is a grey games console that takes discs insted of cartridges. This was probably the first big console that took discs that was a success. The sega thingy disc playing thing didn't work so yeah, it was the first disc success
.


As soon as Sony started to realise the massive marketing potential in the PS they started to make a new one. The PS2 was schedule for release in 199 (bear in mind it was 1996 at the time) but it got put back o 2000/2001.

Long Story Short, The Ps was a success. The Gamers were happy, Sony were Happy. Other Console makwers were miserable the END!
