PlayStation
There are a wide series of PlayStation consoles. The
first ever was released in December 1994. PlayStation have sold 102.49 console
units have been sold all together since its first release.
The PSone is the first console to be made to carry on the PlayStation
series. It was released in 2000. It was made as a smaller version of the
PlayStation video game console.
Also in 2000 the PlayStation 2 was released. It has sold over
150 million units making it the most successful game console in the world. However
on 4th January 2013 it was announced that the PlayStation 2 had
stopped being produced.
As the
PlayStation 2 was so popular, PlayStation thought of an idea to create a
slimmer version of the PS2. This meant it took up less space and had a better
look. It was released in 2004 being much lighter than the original PS2.
On November 11th 2006 the PlayStation 3 was
released. It is the first out of the series to be able to use Blu-ray discs and
be able to use wireless controls. Just like the PS2 a slimmer version was created.
It was released in 2009. It uses less power, is lighter and small than the
original PS3.
In 2012 the last PlayStation console had been released. The
Super Slim console is a slimmer version of the PS3 slim. It is a lot slimmer
than the first slim but has also been redesigned.
Since the
PlayStations first release in 1994, there have been portable handheld consoles
created. The first ever PSP (PlayStation Portable) was released in 2004. It was
created as smaller handheld version of the PlayStation 3. People were able to
carry them around and play it wherever they liked. The games that were played
in the PSP were small discs that were able to fit into a small slot in the
back.
There have been other models of the PSP such as the PSP Slim
Life and PSP 3000.
The newest PSP model is the PSP Go. It was released in October
2009 and has been compatible with Nintendo Ds handheld consoles.
