The PS3 was designed to compete with the Xbox 360 from Microsoft and the Wii from Nintendo. It was a 128-bit console with significant improvements over its predecessor, including a powerful processor, improved graphics, and a built-in Blu-ray player.
The PS3 introduced the DualShock 3 controller, which added vibration feedback to the previous DualShock 2 controller. The console boasted several popular and acclaimed games such as "The Last of Us," "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves," and "Demon's Souls." The PS3 also offered access to online multiplayer gaming, digital content, and media streaming services through the PlayStation Network. It was the first PlayStation console to have a paid subscription service for online gaming called PlayStation Plus.
Despite facing competition from the Xbox 360, the PS3 sold over 80 million units globally and established Sony as a significant player in the video game industry. The PS3 was succeeded by the PlayStation 4 in 2013.
