Sony feirer med retrodesignet Playstation 4
I dag er det nøyaktig 20 år siden Sony slapp den aller første Playstation-konsollen i Japan, og dette feirer de nå ved å slippe en Playstation 4 som har designelementer fra den opprinnelige konsollen. Den skal selges for omtrent 5000 kroner og produseres kun i 12 300 eksemplarer - et siffer Sony valgte ettersom den ble sluppet 3. desember.
Playstation-sjef Shuhei Yoshida skriver i en offisiell uttalelse:
"Sony Computer Entertainment, founded by my mentor Ken Kutaragi, was a project borne out of sincere passion and deep admiration for the craft of game development. The mid '90s were an exciting time for game developers, driven by the explosion of powerful but affordable 3D graphics rendering hardware and the birth of many young and adventurous development studios. The original PlayStation was meant to embody that sense of adventure and discovery, that sense that anything was possible. We sincerely thank you for joining us on our exciting 20-year journey. You have made every bump and scrape we took along the way worthwhile. And there's so much more to come!"
