Archaic PlayStation Concept Art

Before PlayStation became a household name Sony was working on a CD drive for the Super Famicom. You probably heard this story already and know the end result – a plastic gray console.

In between splitting with Nintendo and finalizing the design for the PsOne everything was on the table. Concept art for potential PlayStations like this model were floating around. The big difference here? This PlayStation reads “game cassettes” and is built like a discman.

Actually, it’s more like a Sega CDX.

Head over to the Lost Levels to see a few more “seminal” PlayStation pictures and imagine what could have been.
