Sony PlayStation is a gaming console that was first released in 1994. It is the first console in the PlayStation line-up and was succeeded by the PlayStation 2 in 2000. The PlayStation 2 is still in production as of 2013, making it the longest-lived console to date. The PlayStation is noted for its innovative design, particularly its use of a central processing unit and graphics processing unit in a single chip. This allowed for more realistic graphics and faster game play. The PlayStation also introduced the use of a dual shock controller, which featured two analog sticks and allowed for more precise control.
