Playstation Review

Brief Description:

The Playstation (aka PSX or PS1) was Sony's very first console. The Playstation is also referred to as the PS1 or the Playstation 1, since there later ended up being sequels. It was released in 1994.

The Positive Points:

-The later-to-be-released duel-shock controllers introduced brand new clickable joysticks, adding to their perfection.

-It was the most powerful console and had the best graphics for it's time.

-It introduced simulation and performance gaming with games such as Gran Turismo, and those to come.

The Negative Points:

-The first controllers didn't have any joysticks or shock features, but all of the N64 controllers did. Playstation didn't copy these Nintendo features until later on after the Playstation's launch. -The controllers had a poorly designed 4-button D-pad, and rubber Start and Select buttons that were awkward to press. Also, this is just my opinion, but from personal experience I've found the duel-shock controllers to be uncomfortable to hold.

Innovative: Yes

Affordability At It's Release (affordability for it's time): Fair

General Public Rating: Overrated

Success: Very Successful

My Personal Final Rating: OK (3/6)
