The '''[[wikipedia:PlayStation_(console)|PlayStation]]''' (frequently referred to in shorthand as the '''PS1''' or '''PSX''') is a fifth generation console released by [[wikipedia:Sony Computer Entertainment|Sony Computer Entertainment]] in 1994. It was a commercial success, partly due to being relatively easy to program for compared to others at the time, and because its CD based media was cheaper than the competition.
