The PlayStation is a series of disc based video game consoles produced by Sony.

PlayStation

The first PlayStation (known early in development as the PlayStation EXperimental, or PSX), Sony's first video-game console, was launched in 1994. The system was widely popular and quickly became the best selling home console to date, only to be passed by its successor, the Sony PlayStation 2.

It was initially set to be an add-on for Nintendo's Super Nintendo Entertainment System as an answer to Sega's Sega CD. When the prospect of releasing the system as an add-on dissolved, Sony transformed it into the PlayStation video game console.

The PSone (also PSone, or PS1) was a smaller and redesigned version, released in 2000. Sony also released a small LCD screen and an adapter to power the unit for use in cars. The PSone is fully compatible with all PlayStation software.

The original PS2

The PlayStation 2 (abbreviated as PS2) is Sony's second video game console, the successor to the Sony PlayStation and the predecessor to the Sony PlayStation 3. Its development was announced in 1999, and it was released in 2000.

The PS2 is part of the sixth generation era of video games, and has become the fastest selling gaming console in history, with over 100 million units shipped by November 2005, beating the previous record holder, the PlayStation, by three years and nine months. It eventually was succeeded by the Sony PlayStation 3.

In 2004, Sony revealed a new, slimmer model (known unofficially as the "PStwo").

In 2005, Square Enix release a Slime-based Controller to tie into the release of Dragon Quest VIII. Japan also has a Metal Slime controller.
