1994. A good year for many reasons, but for gamers it’s best remembered as the year Sony shook things up in a big way with its original PlayStation game console (on this day in Japan, at least — the rest of us had to wait ’til the fall of 1995). While Sega got a slight head start with its Saturn, the Sony PlayStation’s lower price and strong launch line-up of games quickly vaulted it to the top of the pack, and helped bring in the slightly older audience that 3D0 and others tried and failed to capture.
