Today marks 15 years since Sony launched the PS1. From Tekken to Final Fantasy VII, the PS1 delivered with classic after classic. PS1 is my personal favorite system of all time.

Once upon a time that number was 50, but you know as well as I know due to the economic down turn that number has decreased. And the CEO John Riccitiello mentioned that number could go down even further to 30. Hell, lets just make it 20 to be fair, right?
