The "father of PlayStation" said that no one at Sony believed in the success of the console
We wrote that Sony's console was originally supposed to have a completely different name. It was supposed to be called Power Station, not PlayStation. And as we already know, PlayStation has become one of the most popular consoles, but at first, no one at Sony believed in this product.
Here's What We Know
According to Ken Kutaragi, the former CEO of SIE (Sony Interactive Entertainment), who is also called the "father of the PlayStation", Sony did not really believe in the console. And in general, almost no one believed in it.
He said that they visited dozens of companies, if not hundreds, before launching the PlayStation. It was a great memory for Ken, but the companies were not interested at all. They just said: "Don't do it".
Even at Sony, no one believed we would succeed.
And how fortunate for all of us that Ken and the team didn't listen to anyone and released the PlayStation.
