PS3 Turns Five

November 17th, 2011 / Niraj Shah / News

Can you believe that tomorrow marks the five-year anniversary of PlayStation 3’s launch in North America. Just think, before the PS3 came into the world: online multiplayer modes were the exception, not the rule; HDDs were a side option for game consoles, not a standard feature; standard-def DVDs were the only choice for home video; and Nathan Drake wasn’t a household name.

Without the PlayStation 3, the Blu-ray format may not be where it is today, it could have lost out to the rival HD-DVD format. The PS3 was also responsible for making HD gaming the standard and is now working on bringing 3D gaming and movies to the mainstream.

According to Sony, the PS3 still had a good 5 years left in its life-cycle – lets see what other technological advances it can bring to the gaming industry…

Anniversary, PS3
