This List Celebrates the PlayStation 4 Reveal
Andrew Sztein — February 24, 2013 — Tech
Now that Sony has given us their PlayStation 4 reveal without actually revealing the console, it got people excited to explore the recent history of the ubiquitous console brand.
Next year will be the 20th anniversary of the PlayStation brand, and not only has Sony built up a huge amount of brand loyalty among gamers in that time, but also achieved a synonymy with video games as a whole. Think about it, what do you hear most often in popular culture? "I'm playing Nintendo, I'm playing Microsoft, or I'm playing PlayStation?" The key difference is other companies like Microsoft and Nintendo are recognized by individual console names like the Xbox or the Wii. You say "I'm playing PlayStation," and rarely does anyone need extra clarification.
So we salute a continuously relevant gaming brand name and the PlayStation 4 reveal with this compilation of all things PlayStation.
