The Sony PlayStation turns 31 years old today! 🎮

Hitting North American living rooms in September 1995, the PS1 totally changed the game by ditching cartridges for CD-ROMs, bringing 3D polygon graphics into the mainstream, and introducing memory cards alongside the iconic DualShock controller. Gamers couldn’t get enough of the upgrade, powering the console to over 102.4 million units sold and cementing its place as the first system to ever crack the 100-million mark.

Beyond the cool hardware, Sony delivered an untouchable game lineup that kept everyone glued to their CRT TVs for hours. It all peaked with legendary hits like Crash Bandicoot (1996), Final Fantasy VII (1997), Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (1997), Gran Turismo (1997), Metal Gear Solid (1998), Resident Evil 2 (1998), Tekken 3 (1998), and Spyro the Dragon (1998).
