Its launch was accompanied by the advertising campaign вЂњU R Not EвЂќ with the E printed in red, symbolizing the word вЂњreadyвЂќ. The release date of the console in North America was September 9th 1995, in order to compete with the Sega Saturn and its supposed вЂњSaturndayвЂќ September 2nd release. This fueled a massive import market in Europe and the US prior to it's official release there. The console was first released in Japan, on December 3rd 1994, over 9 months before it would appear officially in the west. At E3 1995, the first Electronic Entertainment Expo, Sony announced the price point of $299. Yet, when Sony showed them tech demos of the 3D capabilities of the system, gaming publishers and developers were sold on the console. Two, the PlayStation was a CD-based video game system, and so far none of them had been successful outside of Japan. One, Sony had to contend with the success of Nintendo and Sega at that time. Selling the console to publishers and developers was not an easy task for two reasons. The final version of the PlayStation took about 6 months to develop. However, after Sony designers saw the huge success of Sega's Virtua Fighter (developed by Yu Suzuki and his Sega AM2 team) at Japanese arcades in 1993, they decided to make the PlayStation a mainly 3D-focused system (see here for more details). The PlayStation was originally intended to be a mainly 2D-focused system. Nintendo tried to prevent the release of the PlayStation with a lawsuit in 1991, claiming they essentially owned the name, but this tactic did not work. They now were aiming for the next-generation of consoles, making the contract they signed with Nintendo irrelevant. However, Sony decided to abandon this idea and began reworking their concept for a video game system. In 1992, Sony signed a deal that would allow their new console to still be able to play SNES games, with Nintendo maintaining the rights to the game. Instead, they decided to take everything they learned while developing the console to create their own stand-alone video game system.

After this, Sony considered abandoning the whole project, which would have lost millions of dollars. He even declared that they would bury Nintendo.

Ken Kutaragi, president of Sony later dubbed the вЂњThe Father of the PlayStation,вЂќ was angered by the turn of events.

This proved to be a bad decision on Nintendo's part as every game that used those properties were poorly received by both gamers and critics. At CES 1991, shortly after Sony announced their ' Play Station' add-on for the SNES, Nintendo announced its cancellation and that they were working to bring Nintendo franchises on PhillipsвЂ™ own console, the CD-i. Nintendo then secretly cancelled the deal. Initially, the partnership was supposed to be announced at CES 1991, but while reviewing the first contract, Hiroshi Yamauchi found out that Sony would entirely handle every title release on the console. A contract was signed in 1988, and Sony began work on the product. Nintendo finally decided to work with Sony, one of the creators of the CD-ROM format (with Phillips) to produce a CD add-on to the Super Nintendo, named the SNES-CD.

At that time, Nintendo wanted to experiment with the CD-ROM media for use on the Famicom (following the success of NEC's PC Engine CD-ROMВІ in Japan), but encountered a few problems. The development of the PlayStation actually began before the 16-bit era. The Playstation was the predecessor to the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3, Playstation Vita, and most recently the PlayStation 4, which was released in 2013. The PlayStation was the first of Sony Computer Entertainment's game consoles. The Sony PlayStation (common abbreviations are PS, PS1, PSone, and PSX) is a video game console that was released by Sony Computer Entertainment, in Japan on December 3, 1994, and in North America on September 9, 1995.
