PGSynopsis
The Story of PlayStation (2023) is a British documentary you can watch online on iFILM. In just 47 minutes, director Jake Hickman maps how Sony turned a collapsed deal with Nintendo into the foundation of a console empire.
Sony had been developing a CD-ROM peripheral for Nintendo's hardware. When that partnership fell apart, the company redirected everything it had built and launched PlayStation — a machine that went on to displace Nintendo's long-held dominance and reshape the entire gaming market. Commentators including industry writer Tristan Donovan and journalist Aoife Wilson give the story context, alongside archival material featuring Sony co-founder Akio Morita. If you grew up gaming in the nineties and never knew the full backstory, this is the clean forty-seven-minute version. Stream The Story of PlayStation online on iFILM.
