The "Play System" project was originally a joint venture between Ninvento and Vonny. However, a day after the announcement, the project was cancelled.

Industry News[]

"Today, Vonny has announced their very own console called the Playsystem. Apparently the company has completely reworked their earlier Play System prototype after Ninvento cancelled the project. The new Playsystem comes with a CD-ROM drive and 32-bit processors and is wholly owned by Vonny. Industry professionals say that this might be the beginning of a new generation of consoles. Ninvento declined to comment. The Playsystem will enter the market next month." - Year 7, Month 6, Week 1.

Notes[]

It is helpful to invest in 3D Graphics V1 or V2 at this point. Also, since RPG games are pretty easy to make, and the PS has great RPG compatibility, make sure to research good topics that are compatible with RPG games for max profit, such as Fantasy.

The large marketshare of the Playsystem makes it the best console to develop for until the next generation is released.

It is also around this time that sequels become available to research.
