TORONTO – One of the world’s most popular gaming systems is celebrating a big milestone – on Wednesday the PlayStation turned 20.

First launched by Sony on December 3, 1994, the console made waves with its 3D graphics and CD-ROM based system. At the time Sony’s main competitor was Nintendo, whose console used a cartridge system.

Since then, PlayStation has remained one of the best-selling gaming consoles on the market. Sony’s latest version, the PlayStation 4, has sold over 10 million units since its November 2013 launch, rivaling its main competitor Microsoft’s Xbox One.
