In general, Sony has been one of the most innovative companies in the world for many years now and that is exactly the case in terms of gaming. Many companies have come and gone in the gaming world, but only 3 remain: Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. They’ve all been on top at different times, but right now, we’re in the era of the Sony PlayStation. So how did we get here and what did Sony do to change gaming forever?
It all started in 1995 with the original PlayStation console. Not only was it the first commercially successful disc-based console, but its controller was also the first one to feature dual analog sticks and vibration feedback. The PlayStation 2 had a futuristic design and was the first all-in-one console since it also doubled as a DVD player. The PlayStation 3 took a page out of the PS2’s book and brought Blu-Ray to the mainstream. The PlayStation 4 really shook things up with features like Remote Play and the literally out of this world PlayStation VR. The PlayStation 5 improves on all of these incredible features. Oh, and how can I forget PS Plus, which has blessed us with free games every month for over 10 years and counting.
