Released on December 3, 1994 in its native Japan, the PlayStation was the first games console to sell over 100 million units worldwide. After eventually making its way to North America (September 9, 1995) and Europe (September 29, 1995), the console enjoyed several years of popularity and remained in production until 2006.

Today, the PS1 remains the second best-selling home console of all time, having sold 102 million units, just behind the PlayStation 2 (157 million). When accounting for portable consoles, the first PlayStation is the fourth best seller, ranking after the PS2, the Nintendo DS (155 million) and the Game Boy (118 million).
