December 1994 was a fateful month in gaming. It represented an end of what had become a two horse race in the home console wars, with Sega and Nintendo battling it out for dominance. Now though, a new player had entered the game: the PlayStation. While the rest of the world only got its first look at the PS One in September the year after, 1994 was the true birth of PlayStation, which is why Sony has now released a commemorative trailer, in celebration of 20 years of its gaming platform.
Along with the short montage below, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia head, Atsushi Morita said (Google translate):
“Thanks to the 20 years up to now you have walked with [us]. For further development of the future, along with the offer to everyone a special project to commemorate the PlayStation® 20th anniversary we want to spend fun.”
He also mentioned the true 20th anniversary of the PS One's launch in December and said that this year's PS Awards would coincide with it, to give a real celebration of the console platform's history. [yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4KW0OBCtz4′]
Throughout the video, footage from Sony's multitudes of home console and hand-held platforms is shown, as well as lots of smiling faces.

KitGuru Says: That means it's almost 20 years since I picked up a PS One controller for the first time and beat my friend's ass as Eddy Gordo in Tekken 2. Jeez.
I played so much Tekken 3 , Red Alert, Crash Bandicoot, Star Wars Podracer… ahh so many memories. What an amazing device that was 🙂 and no Day1 patches or DLC!
Tekken, Zone of the Ender, Red Alert (I actually have my L4D2 modded so the tank music is the Red Alert music), NFS:Underground, Tony Hawks Pro Skater (up to underground), Metal Gear Solid.
Oh the memories from the PS1 and PS2 era.
Eddie Gordo wasnt even in Tekken 2! :O
Same. I preferred Tekken 4 the most only cause…Demon God Fist with Kazuya. <3
That’s their new opening for E3 2015, I always loved the PlayStation over any console, when I had the chance to finally make my own decision, but the Super Nintendo will always be with me and the Nintendo 64. After I was done with Microsoft’s Xbox and the 360 I new it’s was going to be the PlayStation again, at this point I was done with Online and didn’t like a bunch of kids crying in the mic or worst girls crying or for attention. So with that the PlayStation 3 is the last console I’ll never own especially after this console launch with day one patch’s 20GB installing DLC after you paid for the game etc.
On the plus side of things I have anywhere from one hundred sixty to hundred eighty PlayStation 3 games and I just pick up DmC: Devil May Cry two hours ago. Yes I have huge collection and there’s even more to come, and no I ant double dipping on the PC because it’s no more then a Console port.
