If you have to get a PS1 get a Yaroze, it plays games regardless of region, unlike the regular PS1s or get a modchip. Yeah you can play PS1 games on a PSP, a PS2 or a PS3*. Quite a lot of garbage in the pile too, but that's what this wiki is here for, right? Ultimately, it became the best selling console ever (later surpassed by the PlayStation 2), so you will find a vast game library. While Sega did a complex and expensive design that left even the best programmers scratching their heads, Sony did a simple but powerful machine that was much easier to code for and while Nintendo tried to gouge third-parties with cartridge prices, Sony offered their CD manufacturing plants and distribution structure to publish their games at much lower costs. While everyone else fucked shit up, Sony got pretty much everything right.

Here's what: the PlayStation was their perfect storm. Yet the angry newcomer came out swinging and crushed the competition, leaving them asking: what the hell just happened? Many expected it to be an also-ran, at most a distant third place. Publicly scorned and fuming with resentment, Sony decided to take what they had at that point and make their own console. It began as a CD drive for the SNES, but Nintendo noticed too late that the contract was too favorable to Sony, jumped ship, and went to bed with Philips (which ultimately led to the creation of the infamous CD-i). The PlayStation's creation was a bumpy ride.
