PlayStation Classic and original PlayStation, side by side
Mini retro edition meets the OG.
At the Tokyo Game Show Sony showed off its PlayStation Classic system for the first time in person. Engadget Japan editor Ei Ito said it wasn't playable so we don't know if this is just a mockup or the real thing, but it is sitting next to one of the original consoles that launched in 1994 so you can get an appreciation for the hardware design.
Unfortunately Sony is still keeping quiet about the other 15 games it will pack-in, but a press release does note that the miniaturized console (45 percent smaller on the sides and 80 percent smaller in volume) will output video in 720p or 480p only, so it's likely that your TV will have more upscaling work to do.
小さァァァァァいッ説明不要!! SCE改めSIEから、初代プレステのミニ復刻版 プレイステーション クラシックだあァ!!#TGS2018 では展示のみ。コントローラは本物サイズ(任天堂クラシックミニ スーパーファミコン同様)なので、遠近感が狂って何故かおかしくなってきますhttps://t.co/VnTJuBPHmF pic.twitter.com/kUqFn066jM
