With three decades under its belt as one of the most iconic video game consoles to date, the PlayStation 1 is now a beloved source of nostalgia for many - but former Sony lead Shawn Layden says that not everyone in the company wanted to be associated with its debut console.
Speaking in a recent interview with Eurogamer, Layden explains how ecstatic he felt upon first seeing the original PlayStation. "I remember having a presentation early on where they brought the PlayStation prototype to the chairman's office, and we got to see what they were building. I remember back in mid '94 before the launch, standing up in a boardroom playing Ridge Racer and going, 'Oh my god, this is going to be fucking amazing.'"
