  The DualShock controller was just as ground-breaking as the console itself. Legendary design that is still widely used decades later.

  Optical disc, 3D graphics, advertising, branding, $299 mic drop, the games, the Dualshock, etc. So many iconic moves.<br>More videos like this please.

  The name they come up with, “PlayStation” also played a huge part. It was easy to understand what the machine was, also very catchy and so recognizable.

  the marketing for Playstation was wild, possibly the best that will ever exist. it’s hard to overstate how cool and cutting edge it was at the time. and the jump from 2D to 3D on CDs felt like the future.

  one of the best parts of gaming around the ps1 era was watching tv and be surprised with a commercial for a video game, they were so unique, you have no idea it was a video game at the time

  Ps2 was one of the cheapest Dvd players you could buy when it launched, one of the reasons it sold so much.

  One of my first PS1 games was Metal Gear solid. Which was attached to a Pizza Hut box during delivery.

  The CD was the key here. Not only games were cheaper to make, but you could have much more content, including high quality music. And you could use the console as a CD player, back then it was a HUGE advantage. A decent standalone CD Player was probably more expensive that the Playstation.
