Sony Interactive Entertainment has launched a new interactive timeline website celebrating the 30th anniversary of the PlayStation brand, which falls on December 3, 2024. This website provides an extensive look at the history of PlayStation consoles, highlighting key milestones and sales achievements across all generations.

One notable revelation is that the PlayStation 2 has officially surpassed 160 million units sold worldwide, cementing its position as the best-selling video game console of all time. This figure exceeds previous estimates by confirming the milestone for the first time. Other significant sales figures include:

  • PlayStation (1994–2006): 102 million units
  • PlayStation 3 (2006–present): 87 million units
  • PlayStation 4 (2013–present): 117 million units

The timeline reflects on past successes and looks toward future innovations.

What are your thoughts about the PlayStation's legacy in gaming? How do you think the brand should evolve as it moves forward?
