PlaystationPlaystation is a video game console developed by Sony. The first Playstation was released in 1994, followed by Playstation 2 (PS2) in 2000 and Playstation 3 (PS3) in 2006. The initial version of the console represented a significant improvement in terms of graphic quality over the existing cartridge players of the early 1990s.
