PlayStation launched in Japan after the release of its rival Sega Saturn and the sales began with a stunning success with long lines in stores, selling 100,000 units on the first day, and then two million units after six months on the market. After that partnership fell apart, Sony went on to release a console of its own. The product was announced under the name “Play Station” in May 1991 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in a corporation with Nintendo. Sony entered the market of consoles back in 1994 with the release of PlayStation.
