The first Sony PlayStation was launched in Japan on December 3, 1994, and then in the United States over 9 months later on September 5, 1995. The European launch took place almost 3 weeks later on September 29, with Oceania getting it last of all on November 15, 1995. The console was immediately successful due in part to the wealth of popular launch titles, which included Battle Arena Toshinden, Doom, Warhawk, Air Combat, Philosoma and Ridge Racer. All of these titles would later go on to become franchises in their own right, spawning several sequels.
Sony would later capitalize on the success of the original PlayStation by launching the PlayStation 2 in 2000. Demand for the new console was particularly high as it was a popular Christmas gift for the Holiday 2000 season. The PlayStation 3 would follow in 2006, and a portable derivative, the PlayStation Portable, or PSP, was launched in 2005.
