My favorite Playstation memory was seeing Gran Turismo 1 shiny graphics on the cars.Truly innovative.

[@Andre_vyent]

I love u

[@inspectorvoid]

I saved up all summer mowing lawns to buy a PlayStation and Gran Turismo.

[@ColdFusion]

The Playstation ushered in the 3D modern era of gaming. But where did it come from? In this video we'll take a look at the history of the Playstion and man who started it all. As you'll see, It wasn't all smooth sailing. Get stuck into it guys!

[@Enkzan]

+ColdFusion Informative, well produced. Well done, as usual! =) The only thing I'd change is the background sound, it sounds like it's stuck in some places! Keep it up! =)

[@bornabasic]

never got chance to try any console :/ no money i guess .... so sry i dont have my best ps memory

[@AZOffRoadster]

+ColdFusion I'd love to see you do a vid about the Amiga computer, and possibly one on Commodore (who bought it and later died, taking it down with it).

[@geminpatel1750]

+ColdFusion Do a video about Nintendo, past and present, all the controversies related to them (shady work), etc.. All I know is that it is a very intriguing company

[@montec6113]

I love your videos, they are top notch quality. I wanted to ask you, could you make "How big is Lego" ?

[@Juanguar]

so the PlayStation was made out of spite towards Nintendo ? I'm not even mad I'm actually impressed

[@alia31382]

[@LermaBean]

And now Nintendo is all about gimmicks, milking tired franchises and screwing over youtubers via copyright strikes, it's not some rumor, it's blatant fact. Hopefully all companies can settle differences

[@LermaBean]

***** Now Nintendo is losing because of using the same tactics that destroyed the industry back in 1983

[@skepticproof]

i actually cried, first time i saw Tekken3 in the video games salon it was about 0.10$ to play and it was my first time ever playing colored 3D, i couldn't breath when i saw the graphics my mind couldn't handle that humans can make such a thing, i had an old nintendo at that time and never owned a computer, and at that moment i knew that my future will be something around computers and tech, graduated last year wih masters in computing :D

Thank you Ken Kutaragi for captivating my childhood! Also thanks ColdFusion for another amazing video!

[@Victorforu]

My dad bought me the PS1 as my first console when I was about 5. It was the greatest thing ever, I had never actually been exposed to video games until that time but it forever changed my life. I remember playing games like Oddworld, Tomb Raider, and Crash Bandicoot. No games could ever compare to these classic titles, and I had so much fun with my friends around the neighborhood with it as well. It's weird how everything has changed...

[@GeeksTutorial]

Wow Great work guys.

[@liljaube7726]

Look what happend Nintendo... Sony is on top now

[@Ralph032789]

Goat Yooh No. Nintendo is more valuable than Sony in terms of market capitalization. Sony is an ailing company with just 1 department pushing the majority of its revenues.

[@liljaube7726]

Nintendo is an ailing company as well only games pushing revenue and not to mention their stock was at their lowest during wii u realease

[@Ralph032789]

That's because Nintendo is a gaming company.

[@liljaube7726]

Still dosen't change the fact that Nintendo hasn't released a console succesful this decade and SONY is still on top of gaming market

[@Ralph032789]

The 3DS did well.

My favorite PS memory, would be right after graduation from Uni. Me and 4 of my friends. Spent 2 weeks of non-stop PS2. RAD, Resident Evil 4, Samurai Warriors, Rise to Honor were few of the games we played. Two weeks of not giving any care to the world. Two weeks of Mountain Dew and chips. Two weeks before the storm we now call life. That also served as my bachelor party, as it was weeks before I got married.

[@skye7104]

why do i have goosebumps everytime i watch your videos

[@FSXNOOB]

I remember the day i bought it in 1996 like it was yesterday, with Die Hard trilogy included, that was the day i never played outside my house again, and now in 2016 it's still the same situation :)

[@johnc7385]

5:37 "Gran Pricks"

[@boris90]

I remember playing PS1 games at home, and Spyro The Dragon got me into gaming in the late 90s. Ever since then, gaming has become my hobby. I actually had a Sega Mega Drive before that, but playing on it was merely a side activity besides going out and playing ball. Most probably because my parents also made me go out, but gaming wasn't the issue back then, in the mid 90s. Our family friends had a Windows 95 computer, and later 98. Whenever my parents went to them, they would tell me to go and play with their son on the computer; or simply watch him or his father play games like the original Age of Empires, Age of Empires II, Twinsen's Odyssey (Little Big Adventure 2), Abe's Oddysee etc, though I barely remember some of the older DOS games (although I have played some with my friend). Ever since, I secretly wanted to go there every day, and whenever we went to their visit, I was so happy. I remember when I went with my parents to visit my cousin in Bosnia and Herzegovina. There, there was a gaming club where you could play games and you could choose either PC or PS1. I saw someone playing Spyro The Dragon, and I was like: "Mom, I need to have this game!". I fell in love with it so much that I simply had to have it at home. So - Spyro The Dragon was one of my first PS1 games, if not the first. Of course, I even played and bought the older games for PS1, but Spyro was where it all started for me. I started playing games at home more and more, and have been playing them 'actively' since 1997-8. God, I feel old.

[@Jayymes]

The quality of your videos is amazing, the presentation and the way you present the information is better than most tv shows and looks extremely professional. Great Video!

[@AtaQureshi]

This is amazing. Nostalgia overload. Thank you!

[@mws3779]

While I was a Sega fanboy for a long time. I was kind of burnt by Sega. So when it came time to purchase another system between Sega Saturn and the Sony PlayStation I went to Sony and never look back. I am very thankful that Nintendo broke it off and created one of its greatest competitors. I like your videos and I have subscribed, keep the great videos coming.

[@DerekBlais]

I was about 13 when I got my PS1. I think it was 1996. What a great console. So many memories. I think my first game was NFL Gameday. The late '90s had so many great RPGs. FF7 and Metal Gear Solid were game changers.

I still remember the first time I saw a PlayStation at target for sale for $499!

[@9sunskungfu]

Ive been with playstation since the very beginning. A friend of mine bought one from japan on its release in 1994 for 2000 dollars and its where i got to first experience it. I played the 1st launch titles like Ridge racer and Tekken and saw the other games that were geared for release in the near future like Demolition derby and Resident evil. I bought my 1st console for 600 dollars in early 1996 which was around the release time for australia back then...and ive been with them ever since. Playstation has never let me down, im a staunch supporter of sony and i'll continue to support them. They just keep getting better and better and to this day ive never bought a different console because PS gives me everything i need in gaming. Ive nothing but good things to say about them and they have my thanks for all the good years of gaming ive had. So thankyou Sony.

[@hinke2728]

the only PlayStation that was ahead of his time was the ps3

[@chicanocoyote5899]

Hinke no it was ps2 that was ahead time

[@metpach]

Ps3 was a piece of shit compared to the 360, The ps2 was way ahead of its time at the time of release. The slower blu-ray drive on ps3 made games look choppy and not as crisp as 360. That's essentially why you have to install games on the ps4 and xb1, the drives are too slow to render the higher resolution of today's games. As far as greatest PS system its the ps2 all the way.

[@hinke2728]

Chicano coyote the xbox was way more powerfull

[@ghassensmaoui6060]

Very informative video with a lot of professionalism as usual .... Keep up the good work. One conclusion I am having from Sony and Apple's success stories (or rather from Ken Kutaragi and Steve Jobs ) is that the betrayal of partners led to huge success. The worst things that may happen to someone could turn out to be the best things in the future (if he works hard and does not lose faith). It is a great lesson that we should bear in mind.

[@RyanValizan]

I've owned all the PlayStations at one point or another. Wonderful machines, one of my earliest mods was performed on the ps1 as well. Nothing will replace my original NES though, I still got that bad boy hooked up.

[@kozeexsvaper7037]

what happen to sony ericson?

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

My top 3 favorite PlayStation models are: 1. The smaller redesigned PS One. It may not have a reset button, but it comes with a 5-inch LCD screen therefore making your PS One a portable console that you can take with you on the go. In other words, the PS One is a portable game console/CD player that you can take with you on the go. But in order to make it work, you need a car adapter or an AC power adapter in order to make the console work. Plus, the LCD screen has a headphone jack built in the back as well. 2. The slim PlayStation 2. The fat one sucks because it has an automatic slot-loading disc drive which causes it to eat up your PS1 and PS2 game discs. The slim PlayStation 2 is a lot better because it has an old-fashioned disc loader and an open/close disc cover. Like the original PS2, the slim PS2 is backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 games and PS1 and PS2 memory cards. And 3. The PlayStation 3 Super Slim. It is way better than the original fat and original slim PlayStation 3s because it has an old-fashioned disc loader and a slide-open/slide-shut disc cover and not the annoying automatic slot-loading disc drives.
