Sony has rolled out a new webpage celebrating the PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, and it’s quite the treasure trove for gaming enthusiasts. This page is a detailed timeline highlighting three decades of PlayStation’s journey, and it’s definitely worth a visit.
### PlayStation 30th Anniversary Webpage Highlights
One of the standout moments in PlayStation’s illustrious history is the PS2 era. For the first time, Sony has officially revealed that this legendary console sold a whopping 160 million units. This number had been a topic of debate within gaming communities, especially following an offhand remark by former executive Jim Ryan on the PlayStation Podcast.
The webpage offers a trip down memory lane with sections dedicated to each PlayStation console ever released. It even includes some entertaining old-school advertisements, like the quirky one shown above, and a memorable DualShock ad that took jabs at other controllers.
Interestingly, the webpage also features PlayStation Stars, the often-maligned loyalty program. It’s had its share of glitches, but as Sony notes, “The service continues to evolve alongside PlayStation.”
Another fascinating aspect the page highlights is just how forward-thinking the PSP was for its time. This handheld marvel could handle movies and MP3s in addition to video games, selling over 80 million units. It was loaded with online features like Wi-Fi and PSP-to-PSP connectivity for local multiplayer, truly showcasing its versatility.
