With day 1 finishing strong, day 2 was set to be even bigger, with big names like Andrew House (SCEI Manager) and Mark Cerny (Crash Bandicoot, PS4 lead architect) opening the second day of talks with a keynote on 20 years of PlayStation.

As with my previous article, I’ll go through some of the bigger talks that took place on the second day of this year's develop conference.

Sony's PlayStation Brand & PS4 Titbits

The day started off with a talk between industry veterans Andrew House and Mark Cerny on the last 20 years of PlayStation and its future. The talk was fairly frivolous, but some interesting titbits were revealed in regards to the initial conception of the PlayStation itself and the PS4’s design. Apparently, when the PlayStation was in development and had the codename “PSX”, many in the business thought that it was just going to be a toy, and a fad, and shouldn’t be considered a proper product. Numerous business figures also told Andrew House (who became an instrumental part in making the PlayStation the success we know today), that the system was a toy, and that the whole industry was just toys. Andrew thankfully wasn't convinced by these arguments, and as a result, helped create one of the pillar stones of Sony as a corporation that we know today.
