PlayStation is 10 years Old Today

Posted by Zonk on from the i-love-my-old-PSOne dept.

pluke writes "ComputerandVideoGames.com reports that today is the 10 year anniversary of the PlayStation launch in Japan. Facing stiff competition from the already entrenched Sega Saturn it went on to conquer the market and define the modern games industry. Happy Birthday old boy, though I must confess was always a Saturn man." Sniff...so many memories.

    Your statement about tossing the "64 bit processor" isn't true. The N64 never actually had one 64 bit processor. What did have was a 32 bit graphics processor and 32 bit sound coprocessor - when you add the two of those together, you get 64 bits ... hence N64. Just a marketing ploy by Nintendo.
