If you lived in the world from the 70s, 80s and early 90s when you hear the name Sony the first thing that pops into your mind are The Sony TV, The Sony VCR or The Sony Walkman and then you fine out that Sony wanted to join in the video game landscape at first reaction you thinking YEAH RIGHT the folks that made WALKMAN? Are they "Insane In The Membrane" (Captain America: I get that reference.) Other then there dipping their toes into gaming with there line of Hit Bit MSX computers and there joint venture with Sega with Sony Interactive and Making Sega CD games what can SONY do on making a video game system and then 1995 came.
PlayStation, video game console released in 1994 by Sony Computer Entertainment. The PlayStation, one of a new generation of 32-bit consoles, signaled Sony’s rise to power in the video game world. Also known as the PS One, the PlayStation used compact discs (CDs), heralding the video game industry’s move away from cartridges.
After a failed venture with Nintendo to release the PlayStation as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System–CD in the early 1990s, Sony made the decision to market its own console. The PlayStation was released in Japan in December 1994, and it made its American debut in September 1995; both releases elicited critical acclaim and impressive sales. Titles such as Twisted Metal and Ridge Racer were very popular. By 2005 the PlayStation had become the first console ever to ship 100 million units. PlayStation’s premier games included fan favourites such as Final Fantasy 7, Crash Bandicoot, and Tekken, all of which spawned numerous sequels.
The first I ever seen anything PlayStation in action was when I was in Babbage's (a more pricey Electronic Boutique) store and as I was playing some CD-i demo games on there kiosk behind and above my head on a TV screen playing the first PlayStation TV ad and right there and then I need to get this system.

Gen 1 games had some large cases, all right. Not sure how many of those games were considered gems of the console, either. Have heard of Rayman. And it's not like NBA Jam wasn't ported to darn near everything. True gems would show up, once the developers started unlocking the real power of the system.
