PlayStation
From Transformers Wiki
PlayStationis a series of game consoles made bySony.The original PlayStation was first released in1994and became an instant success thanks to a low price point and incredible game library, outselling its competition by a wide margin. This was followed up by thePlayStation 2in2000,its improved graphics and built-inDVDplayback making it an even bigger success that remains the best selling video game console of all time to this very day. With thePlayStation 3in2006,however, while it was praised for being one of the cheapest Blu-ray players on the market at the time, its high launch price and complex system architecture caused it to struggle early on, though it eventually recovered after the launch of a cheaper "slim" model. Sony regained its footing with thePlayStation 4in2013,taking advantage of crucial mistakes made by its main rival theXbox One,and would eventually become the second best-selling non-portable console behind the PS2. Sony's current system is thePlayStation 5,launched in2020,but has struggled to find the same success as its predecessors due to low availability and a much smaller library of exclusive releases.
Two portable PlayStation systems were also released. In2005,thePlayStation Portablegrabbed players with its advanced graphics and extensive media player functions, with some movies even being released for its proprietary UMD format. Its2012successor, thePlayStation Vita,was unfortunately far less successful; while some would chalk this up to a lack of big-budget exclusives or significant Western titles, it's actually because they never released anyTransformersgames for it. Really.

Notes
- ATransformers: Devastation-branded faceplate for PlayStation 4 was designed with the intention of being sold as part of a console bundle in China. However, by all accounts, no evidence exists that they were ever sold. Anextremelylimited number of the faceplates ended up in the hands of a fewPlatinumGamesstaff members, including former creative producer JP Kellams, who revealed the faceplate's existence before later auctioning his off for charity.[1]
- At one point,Takaraclaimed the cancelledGeneration 2game for Super NES would instead be released for the PlayStation, which was not yet on the market at the time, but this port was never released.[2]

"Created for a potential Transformers PS4 bundle in China, but I've never seen proof that this was actually released. A few got dispersed to the PG team which is how I got mine. I've NEVER seen another one of these in the wild and my suspicion is that there are very few of these." —JP Kellams, Twitter, 2023/05/03 - ↑"At the Deadline". GamePro (60): p. 172. July 1994.
