Isabelle Tomatis, writing on the PlayStation blog:

This September marks three decades since PlayStation launched in North America and Europe, followed by additional regions. The global launch changed the landscape of popular culture forever. In celebration of this milestone, we’re excited to announce PlayStation: The First 30 Years, a new large-format photography book.

Players will get a glimpse into never-before-seen prototypes, concept sketches, and design models that shaped hardware development at Sony Interactive Entertainment. From daring early designs to the iconic consoles and controllers that defined gaming culture for millions, PlayStation: The First 30 Years is a 400 page visual journey through PlayStation history that gives fans a rare glimpse into the brand’s evolution through the generations.

Some of the controller designs shared in the blog post are truly wild concepts. They are also collaborating with Reebok on a sneaker to commemorate the anniversary…that I might have to buy.
