The Making Of: PlayStation


Recommended Posts

Today, PlayStation 3 is the result of anything but focus, and Nintendo has regained the position as the leading console maker that Sony took from it. And with what? A console driven by the most coherent vision of its generation. Perhaps St Augustine was right and there is only one story: of creation, fall and redemption. In PlayStation’s case, we’re now waiting on the latter.

Interesting History. Imagine Nintendo and Sony, if their partnership would have stood all these years.

 

Yeah I thought about that. I think them splitting was the best thing to happen to gaming. Ever.

 

No PS brand would have meant a lot of games that were made by Sony first party studios wouldnt have existed. And I doubt Nintendo back in those days would have made gaming a household name. Even now with the selling of the Wii they are building on a platform that was initially set by Sony. Without that base MS probably wouldnt have ventured into consoles either (maybe they would have anyway, who knows).

 

And a part of me thinks we would still have been playing games off cartridges. :bounce:

Good read.

 

I knew about the split of Nintendo and Sony, but now I know the backstory.

 

It was SEGA who gave Nintendo a lot of complex resulting in teaming/Splitting up with Sony and then Phillips.

 

09/09/09 FTW. :doh:
