PlayStation turns 15, sells 377 million PS-branded hardware units

U were not prepared.

To be honest, I enjoyed PS1 more than I did PS2.

Happ 15th to sony!!!!!

hey gamespot wake up. Super Mario Brothers turns 25 today how come you dont have an article on it? I call sony conspiracy!

Funny, did you ever notice that those Xbox fanboys once owned a PSX and loved the console like everyone here? Now they are dissing Sony like they hate it t death...such hypocrits :D Anyway...Too bad they don't sell PSX games no more, otherwise all that money saved in my little piggy would disappear... Hail Sony :P

I'm pretty happy with the PSP, focusing on Great Games like Metal Gear, God of War, Final Fantasy and maybe a Killzone Ist person shooter released after Killzone 3 would be a good to play, more AAA+ games needed for the PSP Platform.

I hope that sony will improve the internet browser on the psp and ps3 because that seem really outdated, you can't even sign in for the email on the psp or at least use an e-mail icon on the network on the xmb anyway Playstation rocks

Congrats sony the ps2 still has the best games ever made!

Wow the PSX is 15 years old now. I feel old.

I'm already waiting for the PS4, is that silly?

Hardware sales are a little less meaningful when your console breaks as often as Sony's products do. Thankfully, the PS3 seems to be a well-built product, but the PSX and PS2 were ridiculously bad (much like Sony's other consumer products).

THE METAL GEAR SAGA IN PSX RULES!!!!

does anyone now where to download the theme for psp they are talking about with out signing in in playstation store?

Preps from me. Nice Sony.

The four Playstations 1,2,3,&portable has sold 377 combined in 15 years. Well done Sony.

@tommygun6644 What do you mean for their time? Check this out: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/top-ten-gt-countdown/18703

@suprsolider Bernie Stolar killed Sega:)

@Sonicplys You're absolutely right man, check this out:) http://www.ign.com/videos/2009/09/15/top-25-consoles-entire-series

@seriousplayer_d Of course not, of course the answer is NO...End of the World 2012:)

U...WERE NOT PREPARED:)

Will the X360 make it to 15 years?

playstation 3 has only been released for only about 4 years so I wouldn't expect the PS3 to reach a benchmark yet, maybe in another 4 years it will reach the 100 million sold mark, I think that a 399 AUD price mark would be good in our region

To Sony (clingcling), who changed the way of gaming and was responsible for my major addiction of gaming... :D

@sonicplys what bunch of nonsense!

ya my first console is also ps one got only by seeing metal gear solid

I grew up with the Playstation, good times :D

ah memories...

Happy birthday to PlayStation!:) Keep it comin'! :D

Happy Birthday Playstation! I've got the PSone, PS2 and PS3, here's to many more years to come!

Here's to Sony! (clinks champagne glass)

Happy Birthday Playstation!! I still remember when I got my first playstation back in 96, the first two games I got to it was Tekken and Independence Day lol.

God, it's been so long. Good old memories as a kid, playing with my PSone and playing spyro....great memories. Think I'm going to bust it out right now. I've got a little bit away from playstation towards xbox, but a great system nonetheless.

Happy birthday playstation! Loved every one.

Ah Sony. You started with two of the most amazing, beautiful, progressive and incredible consoles ever created (PS1/PS2). Then you dropped the ball with two of the worst pieces of garbage and crap consoles in gaming history (PSP/PS3). Please come back to the glory days with the PS4.

In ur face xbox!!!!

@EliteGamer09 007? As in Goldeneye?? I think you have the wrong system, my friend! :D

i want some of that money :o

Happy 15th, PlayStation! Thank you for introducing me to Crash and Spyro back in Christmas '98, Sony!

It's been a glorious 15 years full of memories for me and a big thanks to my uncle who let me borrow his PS and Gran Turismo back in 1997.

@Dualmask nice, I remember playing the Trap Runner demo. Also two more games, more well known but still awesome....Alien Resurrection - based very loosely on the film this was a single player FPS. I was so hard and yet very rewarding, it was slow paced and all about tension, shame it was so overlooked as it's one of my all time fav FPS despite playing it on a PSone pad with no analogue sticks. Syphon Filter 2 - I didn't really play/like most the other games in this series but this game was an action epic. So many varied well thought out missions. These and many others would have easily been AAA titles on other consoles but because the PSone had so many great games (and 100s of really average ones lol) they aren't remembered that well.

I wonder what's the life time sales of the rest of the consoles. Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Xbox and all the little companies who didn't make a splash.

BTW, Ive been a proud Playstation gamer since 1997 and ill always be a PS gamer!

here is to more several great years

Here's to 15 more

@Petch1984 A couple of wonderful PSOne hidden gems most probably don't know about are Destrega (an overhead, beam/projectile based fighter with a decent story mode) and Trap Gunner (an arena-type game where you set and disarm traps while trying to kill your opponent). Those were awesome games.

Im oddly reminded of the song Happy Birthday by The Birthday Massacre:P Happy birthday Playstation!

I started gaming on the Atari 7800, then got a NES, then a SNES, then a PSX. At that moment gaming, for me, changed. I still have my best gaming memories from when I played SNES, but Sony really changed the game. Happy Birthday Playstation! Here's to another great 15 years of gaming.

Sony did nothing to Sega. God I wish people would stop that. Sega killed Sega. It's that simple.
