Did you know the console we love almost never happened? 🤯🎮 

I'm diving into some deep gaming history today! 

Here are 5 random PlayStation facts that blew my mind:

1️⃣ It started as a Nintendo project! Sony built the PS1 after a partnership with Nintendo fell through. Talk about a comeback! 😤

2️⃣ The controller symbols have meanings: Triangle = Viewpoint, Square = Menu, Circle/Cross = Yes/No. ⭕❌

3️⃣ Those PS2 startup towers? They’re actually your saved game data! The more you play, the more towers you see. 🏰

4️⃣ PS1 was the first home console to sell 100 MILLION units! 🏆

5️⃣ The iconic logo had over 20 different designs before they settled on the classic 'P' and 'S'. 🎨

Which one of these surprised you the most? Let me know in the comments! 👇✨

Tagging playstation playstationuk for the love! 🎮🔥
