BP: Consumer Product


The first Sony PlayStation came out December 3, 1994 making this system 21 years old. PlayStation was the brainchild of Ken Kutaragi, a Sony executive who is know as "The Father of the PlayStation". There are 5 different PlayStations total: PS3 a PS2 and a PlayStation sometimes called a PS1. There is also a PSP and a PSP Go portable. The PlayStation Move is not a type of PlayStation , but an option for the PS3. 

"Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) is responsible for keeping PlayStation® growing and thriving in the United States, Canada and Latin America. Based in San Mateo, California, SCEA serves as headquarters for all North American operations and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Corporation of America Inc."

PlayStation is sold in several places. Customers can go right to Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Meijer or any gaming store to purchase one of these systems. 

After a long process, the game console is designed. The console is designed to look sleek and modern and be fully functional to the gamer. The black color is made to look good in anyones household and not stand out. Even the controls are carefully thought out. The controls needs to have evenly spaced buttons that easily reachable as well as easy to manipulate. The PlayStation logo is placed on the side of the system and when you turn on the system you see the logo shown throughout the home page as well as in the video games. This logo is very popular and anyone can easily identify it because of the massive sales of this system and the advertising of it.
