Sacred Symbols+, Episode LXVII: A Look Back at PlayStation Launch Libraries (Patreon)

With PlayStation 5 mere days away (!), we thought we'd look back at PlayStation history yet again, this time with an eye for the brand's historic launch libraries. Beginning in 1994 (well, '95 for the west), PlayStation has seen six major hardware releases so far -- PSone, PS2, PSP, PS3, Vita, and PS4 -- and each console or handheld came along with a unique offering of launch games all its own. Some (like PS2 and PSP) had a high volume of titles; others (like PS3) were more limited, but perhaps quality-oriented. While we don't quite yet know how PlayStation 5's opening catalog will ultimately fare, we can't help but look behind us to see if we can draw any parallels. Plus, we're just really excited to start playing!
