Its successor, the PlayStation 4, was released later in November 2013. The system had a slow start in the market but managed to recover, particularly after the introduction of the Slim model.
The reception would get more positive over time. A Super Slim variation was then released in late 2012, further refining and redesigning the console.ĭuring its early years, the system was negatively received, due to its high price ($599 for a 60 gigabyte model, $499 for a 20 GB model), a complex processor architecture, and lack of quality games but was praised for its Blu-ray capabilities and "untapped potential". It was lighter and thinner than the original version, and featured a redesigned logo and marketing design, as well as a minor start-up change in software. It no longer provided the hardware ability to run PS2 games. It was the first console to use Blu-ray Disc as its primary storage medium. The console was the first PlayStation to integrate social gaming services, including the PlayStation Network, as well as the first to be controllable from a handheld console, through its remote connectivity with PlayStation Portable and PlayStation Vita. In September 2009, the Slim model of the PlayStation 3 was released. The console was first officially announced at E3 2005, and was released at the end of 2006. It was first released on Novemin Japan, Novemin North America, and Main Europe and Australia. The PlayStation 3 competed primarily against Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles.
It is the successor to PlayStation 2, and is part of the PlayStation brand of consoles.
The PlayStation 3 (officially abbreviated as PS3) is a home video game console developed by Sony Computer Entertainment.
