20 years of PlayStation – prepare to feel

3 December 2014

The end of 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of the PlayStation – a milestone we should all observe.

On a personal note, the PlayStation 2 was one of my few friends through the early years of high school, and I am sure there are many gamers out there who have similar stories of unwavering allegiance from their respective Sony consoles.

To honour 20 years of PlayStation, Sony has rounded up 20 TV adverts it used over the past two decades to sell its gaming powerhouse.

Prepare to feel waves of nostalgia break over your face as you watch PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3, PS Vita, and PS4 history.
