Sony's highly anticipated PlayStation 4 was unveiled in early 2013, marking a significant milestone following the challenges faced by its predecessor, PlayStation 3. Back then, Sony learned from past mistakes and delivered a cost-effective console with a robust lineup of first-party games that outclassed its rivals.
The PS4's success propelled Sony to emerge as the clear winner in a generation where Xbox struggled to compete. With over 117 million units shipped and record-breaking revenue, PS4 secured its place as a very successful PlayStation console to date, breathing new life into classic IPs and introducing unforgettable new franchises.
Yesterday, in honor of the PS4's 10th anniversary, Sony commemorated the occasion by releasing a video that highlights the games that shaped the generation.
