The original PlayStation system was praised for its cutting-edge technology, including its ability to process high resolution real-time 3D computer graphics that were never before seen on home consoles, as well as its rich and exciting games portfolio. PlayStation revolutionized the industry and became the first home console in video game history to reach a milestone of over 100 million units in cumulative worldwide shipments(*1).
