The "PlayStation" was released in the year 1994. December 3 1994 for Japan,September 9 1995 for the USA, and September 29 1995 for Europe. Australia was November 15 1995

The technology was first going to be used as a colaboration deal between sony and Nintendo in 1989 and even as far back as 1986 for the first conceptions of the PlayStation. When Nintendo pulled out Sony decided to make a console on its own in early 1993. So when the console was invented is different from when a retail sales model was released to the public. Game developers need to have a working console a minimum of a year before the release.

AnswerHistory

Sony officially unveiled the PlayStation 3 to the public on May 16, 2005, during the E3 2005 conference.[19] A functional version of the system was not present there[20] nor at the Tokyo Game Show in September 2005,[21] although demonstrations (such as Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots[20]) were held at both events on devkits and comparable PC hardware.[20][21] Video footage based on the predicted PlayStation 3 specifications was also shown (e.g. Mobile Suit Gundam).[22]

The system was initially planned to have two HDMI ports, three Ethernet ports and six USB ports,[23] though, as shown at E3 2006, this was later reduced to one HDMI port, one ethernet port and four USB ports, presumably to cut costs.[15][24] Also announced were two configurations of the console, a "60 GB" and "20 GB", for $599/€599 and $499/€499 respectively.[15] The 60 GB would be the only configuration to feature a HDMI port, Wi-Fi internet, flash card readers, and a chrome trim with the logo in silver.[15] It was announced for a global release date, November 11 for Japan and November 17 for North America and Europe.[25]

On September 6, 2006, Sony announced that the PAL region (Europe and Oceania) PlayStation 3 launch would be delayed until March 2007 due to a shortage of diodes used in the Blu-ray Disc drive.[26]

At the Tokyo Game Show on September 22, 2006, Sony announced that it would be including HDMI on the 20 GB system with a silver logo, but not the chrome trim, flash card readers, or Wi-Fi.[27] Also, the launch price of the Japanese 20 GB model was reduced by over 20%[28] and the 60 GB model was announced for an open pricing scheme in Japan.[28] During the show, Sony demonstrated 27 playable PS3 titles running on final hardware.[29]

Launch

The PlayStation 3 was first released in Japan on November 11, 2006, at 07:00.[11] There were reports that many of the systems were obtained by businessmen who paid mainly Chinese nationals to buy the systems to resell them on eBay.[30] According to Media Create, 81,639 PS3 systems were sold within 24 hours of its introduction in Japan.[31]

Soon after its release in Japan, the PS3 was released in North America on November 17, 2006.[12] Reports of violence surrounding the release of the PS3 include a customer shot,[32] campers robbed at gunpoint,[33] customers shot in a drive-by shooting with BB guns,[34] and 60 campers fighting over 10 systems.[35]

On January 24, 2007, Sony announced that the PlayStation 3 would go on sale on March 23, 2007 in Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Africa and New Zealand.[13][36] On March 7, 2007, the 60 GB PlayStation 3 launched in Singapore with a price of S$799.[37]

The PS3 was launched in the PAL regions on March 23, 2007.[13] The system sold about 600,000 units in its first two days.[38]

The console was launched in South Korea on June 16, 2007 in a single version equipped with an 80 GB hard drive and IPTV.[39]
