“Thanks again for your incredible support over the past years and please know that you, the PlayStation Nation, are in our hearts and minds every day reminding us to continue delivering the best gaming experiences possible and always ensure that PlayStation is truly the best place to play.”

Next month also marks the 20th anniversary of the first PlayStation, originally releasing in Japan on December 3, 1994. In his blog post, Layden took the time to say that Sony will be publishing a series of blog posts in the lead-up that “take a look back” at the first two decades of PlayStation. He expanded, stating:

“Those of you who have been with us from the beginning, along with those who are new to PlayStation family, are in for a special treat so please stay tuned.”
