Sony closed out its latest State of Play broadcast with a hype-inducing Ghost of Tsushima teaser, but before that, things got serious with a message from the father of PlayStation. Yes, Ken Kutaragi himself appeared on the stream with a pre-recorded statement in celebration of the platform's 25th anniversary. You can watch it back in the video above.
Kutaragi-san recalls Sony's intent to create a gaming platform for everyone. When the original PlayStation arrived in 1994, video games were largely considered entertainment for children, but this new platform offered a more grown-up approach for a wider audience. Kutaragi-san says a warm thank you to everyone who has helped create, or simply enjoyed, PlayStation games over the years.
Nice one, Ken -- and thanks to you for helping bring PlayStation to life in the first place.

I miss Krazy Ken. I preferred PlayStation under his control and Jack Tretton after that. They eould not be making the dumb decision that Shawn Layden made and hopefully all of that is on Shawn and not Jim Ryan. Thsnk you Ken.
