Then Sony President, Norio Ohga and Ken Kutaragi set out to develop the console with a proprietary CD-ROM and convinced the top level execs who thought the “toy” business was not as bad as they thought.

The console was finally launched on Dec 3, 1994 in Japan and as the adage goes, the rest is history.
