25 best consoles ever

Sony PlayStation (1995)

Sony's first PlayStation rose from the ashes of a broken alliance with Nintendo. It ushered in the era of disc-based gaming and was the launching platform for some of the biggest names in gaming: Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo, Tony Hawk and more. Compared to Nintendo's ever-changing controller design, the PlayStation controller has remained virtually unchanged since the first DualShock controller was introduced in 1998.
