It's also extremely thin and lightweight, which really lends itself to being portable, which is what the screen and the PS one unit are intended to be.

A total of 7,918 PlayStation games have been released worldwide. [195] The PlayStation's bestselling game is Gran Turismo (1997), which sold 10.85million units.

These were followed by the SCPH-700x and SCPH-750x series, released in April 1998. They are externally identical to the SCPH-500x machines, but have internal changes made to reduce manufacturing costs (for example, the system RAM went from 4 chips to 1, and the CD controller went from 3 chips to 1). In addition, a slight change of the start-up screen was made; the diamond remains unchanged but the font used for Sony Computer and Entertainment is now consistent, making the words appear smaller than the diamond overall, and the trademark symbol (™) is now placed after "Computer Entertainment" instead of after the diamond, as it was on the earlier models. New to the SCPH-700x series was the introduction of the "Sound Scope"–light show music visualizations. These were accessible by pressing the Select button while playing any normal audio CD in the system's CD player. While watching these visualizations, players could also add various effects like color cycling or motion blur and can save/load their memory card. These were seen on the SCPH-700x, 750x, 900x, and PS one models. a b c d e "Sony's PlayStation Debuts in Japan!". Electronic Gaming Monthly. No.65. Sendai Publishing. December 1994. p.70.

Units made in August 1998 use the PU-18 motherboard, the only batch of the 750x that doesn't benefit from sharper graphics. Most likely, this was a 700x batch being mislabled as 750x units during the transition of models. The PlayStation went through a number of variants during its production run. Externally, the most notable change was the gradual reduction in the number of external connectors from the rear of the unit. This started with the original Japanese launch units; the SCPH-1000, released on 3 December 1994, was the only model that had an S-Video port, as it was removed from the next model. [149] Subsequent models saw a reduction in number of parallel ports, with the final version only retaining one serial port. [150] Neves, Lawrence (September 1996).
