PlayStation (Console)

The PlayStation (Officially abbreviated as PS, often abbreviated as PS1 or PSX) was a fifth generation home console developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment after a failed partnership with Nintendo. It shipped 102 million units before being discontinued in 2006.
==History==
Nintendo and Sony had a partnership dating back to 1986, when Sony was approached by Nintendo to develop a CD based add-on to the SNES, tentatively titled the "Play Station", or SNES-CD. Unfortunately, plans fell through, and lead to Nintendo partnering with Phillips to develop the Phillips-CDI, and Sony to develop their own PlayStation.
==Launch==
In Japan, the PlayStation launch was a massive success, selling roughly 100,000 units on the first day, and two million units after 6 months on the market. The US recieved the PlayStation on September 9th, 1995, followed closely by Europe on September 25th, 1995. The last region to get the PlayStation was Australia, launching nearly a year after the original Japanese launch on November 15th, 1995.
===Hardware Revisions===
The PlayStation recieved a hardware revision on July 7th, 2000, dubbed the "PS one". The redesign was a smaller, more portable version of the PlayStation. A special "combo pack" was also sold that contained a 5" LCD screen. This outsold the PlayStation 2 within its first year.
