User Summary:

While commonly known as simply the PlayStation, Sony's successful entry into the console gaming market is actually the PlayStation X, a successor to the limited production and never commercially available original "Play Station", which played both CD-ROM media and Super Famicom cartridges.

Released to consumers over the course of number of different models, each using a similar grey chassis but differing in ports, hardware, and accessories, the system also exists in a variety of colored development models.
