The fifth generation of home video game consoles saw a new competitor step up to the plate to disrupt the everlasting war between Sega and Nintendo: Sony's PlayStation. The original PlayStation, now usually referred to as the PS1, was an absolute powerhouse of a console, described by press at the time as "a technical marvel."

The PS5 can also play games from the PS4 generation, and enhance the experience with improved frame rates and resolutions. Most PS5 games also utilize its SSD for near instant loading, so you never have to check your phone after failing a boss fight.
