In this deep dive, I explore the rollercoaster history of Sony's most ambitious console ever - the PlayStation 3. From its rocky $600 launch to becoming a surprising success, the PS3's journey is filled with fascinating twists, groundbreaking tech, and high-stakes drama. I break down how Sony's massive gamble nearly backfired, the console's evolution over time, and its lasting impact on the gaming industry.
