COLUMN| Each successive PlayStation console generation has been "more" than just gaming hardware. Each time, the company's products demonstrated a significant improvement in the field of graphics and the complexity of games, but also offered consumers an opportunity to try new, innovative technologies.
Although the classic "gray" PlayStation isn't my favorite, I can without a doubt call it the most important game console in history. Ultimately, it sealed the shift from cartridges to CDs and contributed to the significant development of 3D games (the competitive Sega Saturn still "stood with one foot" in the 2D period, and the Nintendo 64 was limited by the low cartridge capacity).
Then there's the PS2, which at its advent both offered an upgrade in graphics over its predecessor, but also one of the finest and at the same time the cheapest DVD players on the market. The PS3, which introduced many players to the "HD era", integrated network services and was a full-fledged home entertainment center, the crown jewel of which was the Blu-Ray drive.
