She gave birth to the gaming console that would go on to revolutionize the way were played when the Playstation was born. She's also the mother of the PS2 which is, the best selling games console of all time. She's lead the way in innovating the industry, and some of the best games call her platforms home. The PSP was her first entry into the handheld arena, and since then, she's up the ante again with the PSPgo. Sony has truly been a leader. But the moment she entered this new generation of consoles with the Playstation 3, some mistakes were made, mistakes which left her scrambling for answers and direction. The Media said she was doomed to fail, and that, the Xbox 360 would be left alone to dominate. Journalists were like wolves after their prey; their prey being Sony and her endless fopas.
Tripwire Interactive's Killing Floor debuted 15 years ago, birthing a critically acclaimed series and a new publishing arm.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

I knew all of those things. I'll add one that many dont know (if you are a hardware person you do). you CAN actually swap bluray drives between systems. The drives themselves are interchangeable but the board that interfaces is not. So anyone who has a dead optical drive can just get a replacement and swap the interface board and be back to reading discs in no time. I've had to do this myself on both a 20gb B01 as well as a 40gb L01 unit.
you can also replace the spinning hdd with an SSD for improved (not life changing) performance as well as quieter and cooler system reliability. The physical spinning drives draw more current and generate heat as a result. Using an SSD means no moving parts and thus will have less current draw and reduced fan noise from not having to spin as much as usual to offset any heat generated by the spinning hdd.
Still one of my favorite Playstations next to the Playstations that came before it and after it.
