PlayStation Evolution Comparison: PS1 to PS5 (1994-2020)

Nintendo venture to unleash the PlayStation as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System–CD in the early 1990s, Sony chose to sell its own console. The PlayStation was published in Japan in December 1994 and made its American debut in September 1995; both releases attracted critical praise and impressive sales. Titles like final Fantasy 7, Tomb Raider and Gran Turismo were very common. The original PlayStation resumed production until March 2005, when the new wave of 64-bit consoles, including Sony's own PlayStation 2 were eclipsed with a launch price same as PlayStation. The PS2 introduced the opportunity to play over the Internet, which coupled with the biggest line of games ever advertised for the console, led to its sales supremacy over its 64-bit competitors Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo GameCube. However the next PlayStation console, PlayStation 3 with a launch price of $599 did not achieve the same initial popularity as the previous incarnations of the console, with continued rivalry from Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. The PS3 went on to sell 86.90 million units worldwide. In 2013, Sony launched PlayStation 4 (PS4), a next gen console with a launch price of $399 intended to compete with the Xbox One. Critics and players welcomed the new platform, offering excellent graphics and a seamless online gaming experience. With the introduction of the PlayStation VR (PS VR) in October 2016, Sony joined the expanding virtual reality (VR) market. Sony has re-imagined the core aspects of the system – including a streamlined configuration to a modern well-designed user interface to a creative controller and additional benefits for PS Plus owners – and the result is a console that we can't help but be pleased with. There are issues with how few first-party games are released – and it would have been great to see support for previous versions of PlayStation titles, not just PS4 games – but PlayStation 5 already feels like a good purchase, and the PS5 experience will grow with maturity. The PS5 caters to both pumped and ready-made next-gen players and tepid PS4 owners looking to dip their toes into the future of gaming-and for the latter it's a console that so effortlessly fills the divide between the previous generation and the next generation that you certainly won't ever need to fire up your PS4 again. From huge improvements like the super-fast NVMe SSD and powerful GPU that allow higher frame rates and ray tracing, to small touches like the built-in microphone on the controller that can act as an easy stand-in for the headset, the PS5 feels like it's built for ease of use as well as sheer strength.
