There's no getting around it, both the SNES Classic Edition and PlayStation Classic are utterly adorable. But does the final product live up to expectation, and, if you have money to burn this festive season, is it a better buy than the SNES Classic Edition? Let's find outвЂ¦ Hardware The first home console to ship over 100 million units worldwide, the status of the original PlayStation cannot be denied, making it the perfect candidate for the 'classic' treatment. To many players, the PlayStation supplanted the SNES as their go-to console thanks to its impressive third-party support, an amazing catalogue of RPGs and a slew of hits from the likes of Capcom, Konami, Eidos and вЂ“ of course вЂ“ erstwhile Nintendo devotee Square. The original 32-bit system вЂ“ borne out of Sony's failed agreement with Nintendo to produce a CD-ROM-based SNES console вЂ“ was the very definition of a game-changer when it arrived in 1994 it arguably heralded the beginning of the 3D revolution and established a brand which has remained at the forefront of console gaming ever since. The PlayStation Classic launched today and in many respects should be the kind of product that appeals to gamers of all walks of life, including Nintendo players. The NES Classic Edition and SNES Classic Edition have now sold over 10 million units worldwide between them, indicating all too clearly that there is a tremendous appetite for this kind of thing little wonder then that SNK released a Neo Geo Mini earlier this year and Sega вЂ“ after over a decade of allowing hardware partner AtGames to sully its good name with some seriously shocking clone consoles вЂ“ finally seems to be taking the whole concept a little more seriously.Дў018 is also the year in which Nintendo's rival Sony decided that its legacy was worth taking advantage of. Nintendo wasn't the first company to wake up to the idea of repackaging its games in tiny versions of classic consoles вЂ“ Sega and Atari (from a licencing perspective, at least) were there a long, long time ago вЂ“ but its entry into this previously niche sector certainly made an impact.
