design of the Playstation from Digital Dreams: The Work of the Sony Design Center (1999, Paul Kunkel)

Some things you probably didn’t realise about the design of the original PlayStation:

  • it was inspired by the Macintosh Plus
  • the colour is grey with a hint of violet to counteract ageing/yellowing
  • Sony acquired the PlayStation name from Yamaha
  • it led to the VAIO range
