It's unbelievable that Sony could create a video game console line that will last 25 years back in 1994. Nobody expected the PlayStation name to last 25 years, not even Sony. But the PlayStation name lasted through four video game console generations, and with PlayStation 5 possibly coming soon, the PlayStation line will possibly continue through the next generation of video game consoles.
Happy 25th Anniversary, Sony PlayStation! The video game industry would never be this big without you!
Author's Note: This was supposed to be my tribute to the 30th Anniversary of the Famicom and SG-1000, but multiple delays mean it will have to be my tribute to the 35th Anniversary of the Famicom and SG-1000 instead.
Was it a coincidence that Sega launched the SG-1000 on the same day Nintendo launched the Famicom? Because these two video game consoles both came out in Japan on the 15th of July, 1983, like Konata just said in the last panel.
These two consoles, however took different paths. The Famicom ended up being more successful than the SG-1000, resulting in the SG-1000 being discontinued when the Master System came out in Japan, while the Famicom continued being in production until 2003, 2 years after Sega went third-party after they discontinued production of the Dreamcast.
Anyway, like Konata said in the second panel of this comic, Happy 35th Anniversary, Famicom and SG-1000.
