Infographic: The Evolution of the PlayStation
In the last few decades, gaming has evolved from the proverbial amoeba to a talking, psychic, fire-breathing dragon with HD cameras for eyes. We have gone from kick-the-can to Pong to realistic fantasy worlds with characters controlled by simple gestures in front of a camera while conversing with other players around the world.
When the PlayStation was first released in the mid-1990s, it was revolutionary. Ever since, the PlayStation console has represented a microcosm of technological advancements in realistic graphics, computer memory, processing power, responsive controllers, multi-tasking capabilities, and social networking. All this in one little gaming console? The PlayStation’s history of its current four models is truly remarkable.
Looking back at the history of gaming reveals the astounding growth of console science and popularity. What started as a simple gaming system using emerging tech like CDs and 3D graphics soon saw partnerships between game and technology companies to produce innovations never before imagined. The consoles became lighter, started using less energy, stored more memory, showed sharper graphics, and became more responsive between the game action and the player. The latest incarnation takes multi-use, multi-screen, and social networking to another whole level of convenience, usability, and speed. As the popularity and capabilities of PlayStation consoles continue to grow, it’s easy to see why this gaming colossus stays atop the industry.
