Mascot

I'm wondering if there's a notable reason to mention PlayStation mascots, or rather the lack of one. Sure, Japan kind of had Toro (for Sony as a whole), but while Nintendo had Mario and Sega had Sonic, PlayStation had a bunch of unofficial contenders (like Crash Bandicoot and Abe). Could go in the PSX page, or here, or nowhere at all. JaffaCakeLover (talk) 14:31, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It had a mascot, briefly. See Polygon Man - X201 (talk) 10:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The closest there is to a real Playstation mascot would be Sackboy from Little Big Planet. Unless I'm mistaken, Microsoft doesn't have a mascot for their XBox range either; in fact the only games platform with a real mascot is Nintendo, who continue to use Mario for their mascot as they have since the early 80's. Since Nintendo is currently the only manufacturer with a persistent and recognisable mascot in the video games business, I find Sony's lack of a mascot unremarkable. If Sony ever choose to adopt an official mascot for their brand, it's inclusion would be justified in this article, though I don't believe the lack of a mascot is worth noting since there's nothing tangible to add.Pobatti (talk) 07:53, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Slogans?

Are the list of slogans really that relevant to the campaign section? the list doesn't seem to accomplish anything and it seems to make the article look a bit messy (but then again the excess of images also seems to make it look messy). Maybe a quick clean up would do?Lucia Black (talk) 09:01, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, the marketing sections have been one of those things that I've always been meaning to write. I have the source material for both Sony and Sega articles. They are important subjects because they both changed the way video games were marketed, and I could easily expand it to a standalone article given time. But that's the problem. Time. - X201 (talk) 10:13, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
think they should be merged then, rather than listing them.Lucia Black (talk) 10:25, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1986?

"The console's origins date back to 1986 where it was originally a joint project between Nintendo and Sony to create a CD-ROM for the Super Nintendo." I have a feeling two separate thoughts were merged over time, i.e. the origins of Sony's home entertainment business and the particulars of Playstation's creation. Neither Super Nintendo nor CD-ROM were anywhere near the radar in 1986, and I highly doubt "Game Over" can be considered an authoritative source on any of this considering it was written about two years before the Playstation's release. Whelkman (talk) 20:31, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Game Over is being misquoted: the book says the deal was signed in 1988. Kutaragi first proposed a joint Sony-Nintendo project of some kind in 1986 but was rebuffed by Nintendo. This was not the PlayStation. Game Over is perfectly reliable for these matters (when properly quoted) because the original Sony-Nintendo PlayStation was being worked on from late 1989 and the public snubbing of Sony came in 1991, which all happened during the period of time the book covers. Indrian (talk) 20:55, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Playstation 4

It redirects here, but there are enough sources (of rumours, no doubt) to warrant that it gets its own page, rather than a redirect. Techradar hes plenty of links here: [1] and lots of rumours [2] and news [3]. Unflavoured (talk) 08:48, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All we have so far is rumour, so making an article on the subject would be a violation of WP:CRYSTAL. Alphathon /'æɫ.fə.θɒn/ (talk) 17:34, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sony PlayStation 4 Price

Sony PlayStation 4 price is $100 less than the forthcoming Xbox One console. I'm wondering what the impact of that pricing difference will have as far as the number on units sold? Perhaps, some statistical analysis could be provided as this seems to give Sony PlayStation 4 a distinct edge with gaming consumers. Gameweed (talk) 23:59, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly what was said above. Et3rnal 16:29, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The PlayStation logo is both the "PS" logo currently used and the "PlayStation" logo. Both should be used since hey are the logo.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.234.92.149 (talk) 09:07, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

the PlayStation 1 controller is not the original one

</ref>http://www.gizzygames.com/authentic-sony-playstation-1-controller.html show the real original version of the PlayStation 1 controller because I grow up with the PlayStation 1 I would know that one was the original one and then some months later they released a second version of it with R3 and L3 the joysticks the original version didn't have.

The title of this article?

I'm genuinely curious why Xbox and PlayStation are the only two consoles which have product family pages which share titles with an actual product which is part of that line. Obviously this leads to a situation where the actual articles for the consoles are relegated to Xbox (console) and PlayStation (console) which seems pretty weird to me. Conversely the product family article for the Game Boy is called Game Boy line, I think rightly so since, when talking about the Game Boy, people are likely to think of the original device rather than every consequent iteration of said device which have different names.

In case people are wondering, yes I was the person who previously asked about the "product family" of the Wii U. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.175.155.10 (talk) 18:15, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You can view the most recent requested move from 2010 which resulted in the change. There wasn't a lot of feedback on the move, but it seems the notion that the "PlayStation is now more commonly referred to as a brand rather than as simply the first console" was convincing enough. I didn't dig into the archives at the Xbox article, but I imagine it was for the same reasons. --GoneIn60 (talk) 01:52, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

COI edit requests

Hi! I work for a communications agency that represents Sony Interactive Entertainment. I'd like to suggest some updates to this article:

  • In the "PlayStation Blog" section: Replace Jack Tretton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sony Computer Entertainment.[1] with Shawn Layden, President, SIEA, and Chairman, SIE Worldwide Studios.[2]
  • Also in the "PlayStation Blog" section, can we add this sentence: In addition to English-language blogs targeted to the U.S.[3] and UK[4] regions, PlayStation Blog also has localized sites for France,[5] Italy,[6] Germany,[7] Spain,[8] Russia,[9] Latin America[10] and Brazil,[11] in each region's common language.

Due to my COI, I won't be editing the article directly. I'd really appreciate any help or feedback. Thank you! AngelaMPena (talk) 15:02, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
