Five years may be a long time for most gadgets and consumer electronics, but you could argue that's just when video game consoles really hit their prime. Reaching that mark today is the Sony
PlayStation 3, which made its North American debut on November 17th, 2006 (a week after its launch in Japan). In those five years it's helped Blu-ray win a
format war, introduced gamers to some new, now-familiar characters like Sackboy and Nathan Drake, and delved into the realms of
3D and
motion-control -- dropping quite a bit from its original $500 starting price along the way. Of course, it has also seen more than its share of
hiccups. Sony's collecting some thoughts from game developers on its blog to mark the occasion, and you're naturally welcome to share your own in the comments below.
