The birth of the PlayStation dates back to 1992. Nintendo tried to work with media magnetic, but seeing that the latter were unsafe, so there is a risk of piracy. He began to use Sony's CDROM / XA media which allowed graphics and audio compression in one device in this case a CD. A contract was therefore signed. Sony was planning to create a new know her would have been compatible with Nintendo. The contract was later canceled because it allowed Sony to be able to control all games developed for the Nintendo console. Sony, therefore, with the material who had developed, up to that point, decided to create a complete console, calling it PS1.
It was launched in Japan on December 3, 1994, in the USA on September 9, 1995, and in Europe arrived on September 29, 1995. Sales were hugely successful with around 40 million units in one year.
