Gamers?
You ready to get into Play Station again?
Sony Corp. is rolling out a mini version of its original PlayStation game console, seeking to tap in to the retro craze and nostalgia of gamers who grew up with the iconic device.
The new PlayStation Classic will retail for $99, while original consoles are on sale on EBay for about $40 to $60. Sony’s revamp, though, comes pre-loaded with 20 games, including classic titles like Final Fantasy VII and Tekken 3.
Sony is taking a page from the playbook of Nintendo Co., its Japanese rival and a master at reviving older systems. Last year Nintendo re-released its Super Nintendo Entertainment System to wild success: The SNES Classic had sold 5.28 million units globally as of March 31. That version came on the heels of an even earlier throwback revival, of Nintendo’s first NES console, which was one of the most sought-after products over the holiday season in 2016.
While the classic versions are popular, they still don’t compete with the latest models and all the technological advances in graphics and new games…..
