Why the Sony Playstation hit different

In this episode we look back and celebrate the release of the Sony Playstation. An unlikely success and disruptor in the fourth-generation console market, Sony contended with the likes of Sega Saturn and Nintendo 64 in the mid-to-late 1990s. Here we'll consider how and why the console succeeded so well, the standards and practices, unique approach to development and marketing, as well as early relationships fostered with the likes of Namco, that helped skyrocket the PS1 to success; and launch characters like Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, Gex Gecko and Crash Bandicoot into mascots and household names for the next generation of gamer.
