New PlayStation Website Unveiled in Honor of 30th Anniversary

Sony has introduced a new webpage celebrating PlayStation’s 30th anniversary, and it’s definitely worth a visit. This page is packed with fascinating snippets and a timeline showcasing three decades of PlayStation’s vibrant history.

### Highlights from PlayStation’s 30th Anniversary Webpage

One standout moment in PlayStation’s journey has to be the PlayStation 2. At long last, Sony has officially announced that the PS2 sold a whopping 160 million units. This number had sparked much debate in gaming communities when former executive Jim Ryan casually dropped it during a PlayStation Podcast chat.

Each PlayStation console gets its own spotlight on the page, complemented by some delightfully nostalgic advertisements. Remember the early ads, like the cheeky original DualShock one that took jabs at other controllers? They’re all there for a good dose of nostalgia.

An unexpected feature on the website is PlayStation Stars. This loyalty program has seen its fair share of criticism for being more trouble than it’s worth, but Sony notes that “the service continues to evolve alongside PlayStation.”

The webpage also gives some love to the PSP, making you appreciate just how ahead of its time it was. This handheld marvel managed to sell over 80 million units and boasted features like movie and MP3 playback, online connectivity, and local multiplayer gaming through wi-fi and ad-hoc PSP-to-PSP connections.
