Among the major players in the field of game development, Sony is a brand that has delivered several popular and appreciated video game consoles. The first game console, released in 1994, was named Playstation and has since been developed into several variants, each more technologically advanced and well adapted to the player than the other. What makes the Playstation a favorite for many is, among other things, the innovative games and controls that have the ability to be almost as advanced as the console itself.
Playstation 2 – console with classic games and accessories
Launched at the turn of the millennium, this console has become a true classic. With over 150 million units sold worldwide, it has become a popular companion, giving users access to great games in different categories. Many of them are still played in homes around the world. You know the karaoke game Singstar, right? When it was launched, it was a huge hit among uninitiated and music-loving players who immediately started singing into the accompanying microphone in their living rooms.
What paved the way for future games with VR technology was the small camera that could be placed next to the device. This allowed you to be filmed and gave rise to a new type of game, although the big breakthroughs came with later consoles. A useful feature of the Playstation 2 was that it could be used as a DVD player when you needed a break from gaming, something that has now been replaced by streaming services. Some accessories that can still be found on Tradera are the specially designed hand controllers (Buzzers) for the quiz game Buzz or the realistic guitars for Guitar Hero 2 and 3.
A big advantage of this old faithful is that it is backward compatible and it is possible to play almost all games from the first original Psone variant. This is something that makes many people still think the console can keep up with the video game game game.
Playstation 3 – more than just a games console
The subsequent Sony game console was released in 2006, and by then the company had also released the PSP portable gaming device a year earlier. However, with the PS3, Sony further expanded and developed the capabilities of its game consoles. This device focused on a then revolutionary wide range of media for users. By releasing the Playstation Network platform, gamers could (and can!) watch movies, communicate, download games and listen to music all through one console. A new feature of this console was that it could handle the Blu-Ray format. This feature can still be very useful today – just dust off those old movies on the bookshelf and start watching.
The accessories released for the previous device are also ones that players can benefit from in this console, but in updated versions. Popular music games that took over the baton after the success of Singstar are both Guitar Hero and Rock Band, where the accompanying drum kit was perhaps a contributing factor to the fascination with this generation of music games.
Although the Playstation 2 has been a great success and had a solid range of games, the Playstation 3 has not been inferior. This console has many popular titles – Gran Turismo 6, God of War, Uncharted 2 and 3 , and several variations of Batman.
Playstation 4 creates new game worlds with VR technology
The big upgrade to the PS3 came out in 2013 in the form of the Playstation 4 console. It is a video game console that differs somewhat from the previous consoles in terms of functionality by inviting more social interaction around gaming.
One of the ways it does this is through the unique Dualshock 4 wireless controller. It allows the user to instantly share both pictures and videos from the game thanks to the share button. With this powerful controller, it’s easy to inspire more friends to jump in and play. You can find several models of PS4 controllers here on Tradera.
An exciting accessory that has also created a lot of hype is Sony’s own VR headset with several accessories and exclusive games. For example, for the game Firewall Zero Hour, you can use a control (PS4 VR Aim Controller) that senses how you move and how you shoot at enemies in the game. To use the VR technology, you need to have both a Playstation Camera and a suitable controller – either the PS4 controller or the motion-sensitive Playstation Move.
You can use VR technology on both the PS4 and Playstation 4 Pro consoles, which is the most powerful of the PS4 consoles. What distinguishes the original version from the 2016 Pro variant is that the latter has much better technical performance. For example, it supports 4K, which creates a crisp and lifelike image. That is, if you have a monitor or TV that also supports that format.

Sony Playstation 5 – faster, easier and new game controllers
On November 19, 2020, Sony released its next game console, the Playstation 5. The console has long been in demand and it has not disappointed users. With its new design, the game console almost looks like a spaceship and is significantly larger than previous models Playstation 3 and Playstation 4. This is a result of the new 7nm processor which requires a larger cooling system.
The PS5 has undoubtedly taken video games to a new level, bringing to life the most important elements of the entire gaming experience. The revolutionary DualSense controller is proof that Sony wants to change the way users feel about gaming with its sleek new design, reminiscent of its PlayStation 4 predecessor Dual Shock 4. In addition to an excellent fit in the player’s hands, the controller also features haptic feedback that allows us to feel the gaming environment directly in our hands on a completely different level than before.
