==History==

===1993–2004: Establishment, PlayStation release, North American expansion===
Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. (SCEI) was jointly established by Sony and its subsidiary [[Sony Music Entertainment Japan]] in 1993 to handle the company's ventures into the [[video game]] hardware market.<ref>{{cite news|last= |first= |title=Sony to Intro 32-Bit System!|work=[[Electronic Gaming Monthly]]|issue=53|publisher=EGM Media, LLC|date=December 1993|page=68}}</ref> The original PlayStation ([[PlayStation 1]]) console was released on December 3, 1994, in Japan.<ref name="Koh">{{cite web|author1=Chris Kohler|title=FOLLOW WIRED Twitter Facebook RSS Sony Celebrates PlayStation’s 20th Anniversary With a Limited-Edition PS4|url=http://www.wired.com/2014/12/playstation-4-20th-anniversary/|website=Wired|publisher=Condé Nast|accessdate=14 December 2014|date=5 December 2014}}</ref>

The company's North American operations, Sony Computer Entertainment of America (SCEA), were originally established in May 1995 as a division of [[Sony Imagesoft|Sony Electronic Publishing]].<ref>{{cite journal|date=May 19, 1994|title=Sony latest to toss hat in vid game arena|journal=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|publisher=Hollywood Reporter, Inc.}}</ref> Located in [[Foster City, California]], the North American office was originally headed by Steve Race.

In the months prior to the release of the [[PlayStation 1]] console in Western markets, the operations were restructured: All videogame marketing from [[Sony Imagesoft]] was folded into SCEA in July 1995, with most affected employees transferred from [[Santa Monica, California]], to Foster City.<ref name="disarray1995">{{cite journal|date=August 14, 1995|title=Sony in Disarray on Eve of PlayStation Debut|journal=Television Digest with Consumer Electronics|page=9|issn=0497-1515|accessdate=2010-11-12}}</ref> On August 7, 1995, Race unexpectedly resigned and was named CEO of [[Spectrum HoloByte]] three days later.<ref name="disarray1995" /> He was replaced by Sony Electronics veteran Martin Homlish.<ref name="disarray1995" /> The PS console was released in the United States on September 9, 1995.<ref name="Koh" />

As part of a worldwide restructuring at the beginning of 1997, SCEA (currently Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC) was re-established as a wholly owned subsidiary of SCEI.<ref name="scea-development">{{cite web|url=http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdatausa_e.html|title=Business Development/North America|publisher=Sony Computer Entertainment|accessdate=2010-11-12}}</ref>

On July 1, 2002, Chairman of SCEI, [[Shigeo Maruyama]], was replaced by Tamotsu Iba as Chairman. [[Jack Tretton]] and [[Phil Harrison]] were also promoted to Senior Vice Presidents of SCE.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/pdf/020701be.pdf |title=Sony Computer Entertainment Announces Changes in Corporate Officers |date=July 1, 2002 |publisher=Sony Computer Entertainment |accessdate=2010-03-23 |location=Tokyo}}</ref>

The [[PlayStation Portable]] (PSP) was SCEI's first foray into the small handheld console market. Its development was first announced during SCE's [[E3 Media and Business Summit|E3]] conference in 2003, and it was officially unveiled during their E3 conference on May 11, 2004. The system was released in Japan on December 12, 2004, in North America on March 24, 2005, and in Europe and Australia on September 1, 2005.

===2005–2011: SCE Worldwide Studios, Acquisitions, Restructure===
On September 14, 2005, SCEI formed [[SCE Worldwide Studios|Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios]] (SCE WWS),<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/pdf/050914ae.pdf|title=SCE Establishes SCE Worldwide Studios|publisher=Sony Computer Entertainment|date=September 14, 2005|accessdate=2005-09-14|format=PDF}}</ref> a single internal entity to oversee all wholly owned development studios within SCEI. It became responsible for the creative and strategic direction of development and production of all computer entertainment software by all SCEI-owned studios—all software is produced exclusively for the PS family of consoles. [[Shuhei Yoshida]] was named as President of SCE WWS on May 16, 2008,<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/080516e.html |title=SCEI Announces New President of SCE Worldwide Studios |date=May 16, 2008 |publisher=Sony Computer Entertainment |accessdate=2010-03-23 |location=Tokyo}}</ref> replacing [[Kazuo Hirai]], who was serving interim after Harrison left the company in early 2008.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/080225e.html |title=SCE Worldwide Studios Phil Harrison Resigns |date=February 25, 2008 |publisher=Sony Computer Entertainment |accessdate=2010-03-23 |location=Tokyo}}</ref>

On April 1, 2010, SCEI was restructured to bring together Sony's mobile electronics and personal computers divisions. The main Japanese division of SCEI was temporarily renamed "SNE Platform Inc." (SNEP) on April 1, 2010, and was split into two divisions that focused on different aspects: "Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc.", consisting of 1,300 employees who focused on the console business, and the network service business consisting of 60 to 70 employees. The network service business of SCEI was absorbed into Sony Corp's Network Products & Service Group (NPSG), which had already been headed by Hirai since April 2009. The original SCEI was then dissolved after the restructure.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20100224_351014.html|title=ソニー、ネットワーク強化に向けSCEのネット部門を吸収|date=2010-02-24|publisher=Impress Watch Corporation|language=Japanese|accessdate=2010-05-15}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.next-gen.biz/news/sony-restructure-networked-services-business|title=Sony To Restructure Networked Services Business|last=Ivan|first=Tom|date=February 24, 2010|publisher=''[[Edge (magazine)|Edge]]''|accessdate=2010-05-15}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.el33tonline.com/past/2010/2/25/sony_computer_entertainment_to_focus/|title=Sony Computer Entertainment to focus on games, temporarily renamed ‘SNEP’|date=February 25, 2010|publisher=El33t Media|accessdate=2010-05-15}}</ref>

The North American and European branches of SCEI were affected by the restructure, and remained as SCEA and SCEE.

On August 1, 2011, video game developer [[Sucker Punch Productions]], developers of the [[Sly Cooper]] and [[Infamous (series)|Infamous]] series, was also acquired.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/110802_e.html |title=Sony Computer Entertainment Acquires Sucker Punch Productions |date=August 2, 2011 |publisher=Sony Computer Entertainment}}</ref>

Following a January 2014 announcement by the Chinese government that the country's 14-year game console ban would be lifted, the PS4 is scheduled to be the first Sony video game console to be officially and legally released in China since the PlayStation 2—the ban was enacted in 2000 to protect the mental health of young people.<ref name=cnetchina>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnet.com/news/sony-to-sell-playstation-4-console-in-china/|title=Sony to sell PlayStation 4 console in China|last=Low|first=Aloysius|work=cnet.com|date=25 May 2014|accessdate=11 December 2014}}</ref><ref name="Ziff Davis">{{cite web|author1=Luke Karmali|title=SONY CONFIRMS PS4 IS HEADING TO CHINA|url=http://au.ign.com/articles/2014/05/27/sony-confirms-ps4-is-heading-to-china|website=IGN|publisher=Ziff Davis|accessdate=12 December 2014|date=27 May 2014}}</ref>

On March 6, 2014, Sony Computer Entertainment of America President and CEO, Tretton, announced he was resigning from his position at the end of the month, citing a mutual agreement between himself and SCEA for the cessation of his contract. Tretton had worked at SCEA since 1995, and was a founding member of the company's executive team. He was involved in the launch of all PlayStation platforms in North America, including the PSone, PS2, PS Portable, PS3, PS Network, PS Vita, and PS4. Tretton was replaced by [[Shawn Layden]], who was the vice-president and chief operating officer (COO) of Sony Network Entertainment International, effective April 1, 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/articles/veteran-playstation-boss-jack-tretton-to-step-down/1100-6418156/|title=Veteran Playstation boss Jack Tretton to step down |date=March 6, 2014|first=Eddie|last=Makuch|publisher=[[GameSpot]]|accessdate=March 6, 2014}}</ref>

The beta version of Sony's first-ever cloud-based television service, [[PlayStation Vue]] (PSVue), was launched in the U.S. in November 2014. It was only offered on an invite-only basis for PS3 and PS4 users, prior to its official launch in early 2015. Sony signed deals with major networks, including CBS, Discovery, Fox and Viacom, so that users can view live streaming video, as well as catch up and on-demand content, from more than 75 channels, such as Comedy Central and Nickelodeon. Although pricing and release dates for other regions was not publicized, Sony confirmed that PSVue will eventually be available on [[iPad]], followed by other Sony and non-Sony devices.<ref>{{cite web|author1=Mic Wright|title=PlayStation Vue: Sony’s cloud TV service launches in the US this month|url=http://thenextweb.com/apps/2014/11/13/playstation-vue-sonys-cloud-tv-service-launches-month/|website=The Next Web|publisher=The Next Web, Inc|accessdate=14 December 2014|date=13 November 2014}}</ref>

===Headquarters===
SCE currently has three main headquarters around the world: Kōnan, [[Minato, Tokyo]], Japan (Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. & Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia) which control operations in Asia; [[San Mateo, California]], US (Sony Computer Entertainment America) which controls operations in North America; and [[London]], United Kingdom (Sony Computer Entertainment Europe) which controls operations in Europe and [[Oceania]]. SCE also has smaller offices and distribution centers in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles, California]], US; Toronto, [[Ontario]], Canada; [[Melbourne]], Australia; and [[Seocho-gu]], [[Seoul]], South Korea.

===Game approval===
SCE evaluates and approves games for its consoles. The process is more strict than for the [[Nintendo Seal of Quality]], and developers submit game concepts to Sony early in the design process. Each SCE unit has its own evaluation process; SCEE, for example, approved ''[[Billy the Wizard]]'' for its consumers but SCEA did not. The company sometimes imposes additional restrictions, such as when it prohibited PlayStation 1 and 2 games from being ported to the PSP without 30% of content being new to the Sony console.<ref name="kohler20080305">{{cite news | url=http://www.wired.com/2008/03/opinion-why-w-1/ | title=Opinion: Why Wii Shovelware Is a Good Thing | work=Wired | date=2008-03-05 | accessdate=7 July 2014 | author=Kohler, Chris}}</ref>

===PlayStation===
SCEI produces the PlayStation line of video game hardware that consists of consoles and handhelds. Sony's first wide home console release, the PlayStation (codenamed "PSX" during development, currently "PSone"), was initially designed to be a [[CD-ROM]] drive add-on for [[Nintendo]]'s [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] (a.k.a. "Super Famicom" in Japan) video game console, in response to the [[Sega Mega-CD]]. When the prospect of releasing the system as an add-on dissolved, Sony redesigned the machine into a standalone unit.

The PlayStation was released in Japan on December 3, 1994 and later in North America on September 9, 1995.<ref name="Koh" /> By the end of the PS console's 12-year production cycle, Sony registered sales of 102 million units.<ref name="Ag" />

===PlayStation 2===
SCE's second home console, the PlayStation 2 (PS2) was released in Japan on March 4, 2000, and later in North America and Europe in October and November 2000, respectively. The PS2 is powered by a proprietary [[central processing unit]], the [[Emotion Engine]], and was the first video game console to have [[DVD]] playback functionality included out of the box.

The PS2 consisted of a DVD drive and retailed in the U.S. for US$299.<ref name="Pla">{{cite web|author1=James Plafke|title=13 years after the PlayStation 2 changed the industry, Sony finally halts production|url=http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/144342-13-years-after-the-playstation-2-changed-the-industry-sony-finally-halts-production|website=ExtremeTech|publisher=Ziff Davis, LLC|accessdate=14 December 2014|date=31 December 2012}}</ref> SCEI received heavy criticism after the launch of the PS2 due to the games released as part of the launch, difficulties that it presented for video game designers, and users who struggled to port Sega Dreamcast games to the system.<ref name="Ant" /> However, despite these complaints, the PlayStation 2 received widespread support from [[third party developer]]s throughout its lifespan on the market.

On December 28, 2012, Sony confirmed that it would cease production of the PS2 through a gradual process that started in Japan—the continuing popularity of the console in markets like Brazil and India meant that PS2 products would still be shipped, while games for the console were released in March 2013. Up until the beginning of December 2012, the PS2 was the best-selling home video game console in history, with a total of 153.68 million machines sold—it was eventually surpassed by the Nintendo DS console.<ref name="Ant" /><ref name="Ag">{{cite web|author1=Anthony John Agnello|title=RIP PlayStation 2: Sony halts production of the most successful game console in history|url=http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/rip-playstation-2-sony-halts-production-of-the-worlds-most-successful-game-console/|website=Digital Trends|publisher=Designtechnica Corporation|accessdate=14 December 2014|date=7 January 2013}}</ref>

Writing for the ExtremeTech website at the end of 2012, James Plafke described the PS2 as revolutionary and proclaimed that the console "turn[ed] the gaming industry on its head":

<blockquote>
Aside from being the “first” next-gen console, as well as providing many, many people with their first DVD player, the PlayStation 2 launched in something of a Golden Age of the non-PC gaming industry. Gaming tech was becoming extremely sophisticated ... Sony seemingly knew the exact route toward popularity, turning the console with the least powerful hardware of that generation into a juggernaut of success.<ref name="Pla" /></blockquote>

===PlayStation Portable===
The [[PlayStation Portable]] (PSP) was SCEI's first foray into the small handheld console market. Its development was first announced during SCE's [[E3 Media and Business Summit|E3]] conference in 2003, and it was officially unveiled during their E3 conference on May 11, 2004. The system was released in Japan on December 12, 2004, in North America on March 24, 2005, and in Europe and Australia on September 1, 2005. The console has since seen two major redesigns, with new features including a smaller size, more internal memory, a better quality LCD screen and a lighter weight.

===PlayStation 3===
The launch date for the PS3 was announced by Hirai at the pre-Electronic Entertainment Expo conference held at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles, U.S., on May 8, 2006.The PS3 was released in Japan on November 11, 2006, and the U.S. date was November 17, 2006. Technology journalists observed that Sony had followed what Microsoft did with the Xbox 360, and produced the PS3 in two versions: one with a 20GB hard drive and the other with a 60GB hard drive.<ref name="CBS Interactive Inc"/>

The PS3 utilizes a unique processing architecture, the [[Cell microprocessor]], a proprietary technology developed by Sony in conjunction with [[Toshiba]] and [[IBM]]. The graphics processing unit, the [[RSX 'Reality Synthesizer']], was co-developed by [[Nvidia]] and Sony. Several variations of the PS3 have been released, each with slight hardware and software differences, and each denoted by the varying size of the included hard disk drive.

===PSP Go===
The PSP Go was released on October 1, 2009, for North America and Europe, and on November 1, 2009, for Japan. It has a 3.8" [[LCD]] which slides up to reveal the main controls. The PSP Go is 45% lighter and 56% smaller than the original PSP and does not support UMD. The device supports [[Bluetooth]] and is completely digital, which means that all media must be downloaded or transferred to the device (16 GB of internal [[flash memory]]).

===PlayStation Vita===
The PS Vita is the successor to the PlayStation Portable. It was released in Japan and other parts of Asia on December 17, 2011,<ref name="JPRelease">{{cite web |url=http://psp.ign.com/articles/119/1194248p1.html |title=TGS: Sony Reveals Vita's Release Date - PSP News at IGN |publisher=Psp.ign.com |date=2011-09-14 |accessdate=2011-09-14}}</ref> and then in Europe, Australia and North America on February 22, 2012.<ref name="EURelease">{{cite web|url=http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2011/10/19/playstation-vita-launches-from-22-february-2012/|title=PlayStation Vita Launches From 23 February 2012 – PlayStation.Blog.Europe|date=October 19, 2011|accessdate=October 19, 2011|publisher=Sony|work=PlayStation Blog}}</ref><ref name="NARelease">{{cite web|url=http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/10/18/get-ready-ps-vita-is-coming-february-22nd|title=Get Ready: PS Vita is Coming February 23rd– PlayStation Blog|date=October 18, 2011|accessdate=October 19, 2011|publisher=Sony|work=PlayStation Blog}}</ref>

Internally, the Vita features a 4-core [[ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore]] processor and a 4-core [[PowerVR SGXMP|SGX543MP4+]] graphics processing unit, as well as [[LiveArea]] software as its main user interface, which succeeds the [[XrossMediaBar]].<ref name="TechSpecs">{{cite web | url =http://www.vg247.com/2011/01/27/sony-outs-tech-specs-for-ngp/ | title =Sony outs tech specs for NGP | first =Johnny | last =Cullen | date =January 24, 2011 | work = | publisher =[[VG247]] | accessdate = January 25, 2011}}</ref><ref name="EngadgetJan27">{{cite web | url =http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/27/the-sony-psp2/ | title =Sony's next PSP, codenamed NGP | author =Vlad Savov | date =January 27, 2011 | work =[[Engadget]] | publisher =[[AOL]] | accessdate = January 29, 2011}}</ref>

Described by Sony as a "next generation" console, the PS4 included features such as enhanced social capabilities, second-screen options involving devices like the handheld [[PlayStation Vita]], a membership service and compatibility with the [[Twitch (website)|Twitch]] live streaming platform.<ref name="MarketWatch, Inc"/>

Following a January 2014 announcement by the Chinese government that the country's 14-year game console ban would be lifted, the PS4 is scheduled to be the first Sony video game console to be officially and legally released in China since the PlayStation 2—the ban was enacted in 2000 to protect the mental health of young people.<ref name="cnetchina"/><ref name="Ziff Davis"/> Around 70 game developers, including [[Ubisoft]] and Koei, will service Chinese PlayStation users.<ref name="Biz">{{cite news|author1=Eric jou|title=PlayStation set to debut in China early next month|url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/tech/2014-12/12/content_19070552.htm|accessdate=12 December 2014|work=China Daily|date=12 December 2014}}</ref>

The Chinese release dates and price details were announced in early December, with January 11, 2015, confirmed by SCEI. The makers announced that both the PS4 and Vita consoles will be released in China, and the former's package will also consist of a 500GB hard drive and controller.<ref>{{cite web|author1=Kate Williams|title=PS4 AND VITA CHINA RELEASE DATE AND PRICE ANNOUNCED|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/12/11/ps4-and-vita-china-release-date-and-price-announced|website=IGN|publisher=Ziff Davis, LLC|accessdate=14 December 2014|date=11 December 2014}}</ref>

===PlayStation 20th anniversary===
The 20th anniversary of the original PS console was celebrated on December 6, 2014, with the release of a limited-edition, anniversary-edition PS4. The model was manufactured in the PS color scheme, and features the classic PS circle-cross-square-triangle symbols on its casing. The pre-order details for the 12,300 anniversary machine were delivered at the PlayStation Experience fan expo in [[Las Vegas]], U.S.<ref name="Koh" />
