The original PlayStation debuted in the U.S. on this date 15 years ago. With that in mind, we asked our Twitter followers for their fondest and foulest PlayStation memories.
Here's the original question we posed to our Twitter followers.

The original PlayStation and its successor seemed to have the fondest memories in the hearts of fans as the positives largely outweighed the negatives. Here are the tweets that praised the PS1:

If you track any company's performance over a decade-and-a-half, you're bound to see both highs and lows. The company has rebounded from its less-than-stellar PS3 launch, and with the Move due out in a matter of days, the system's stock might just rise even further in the eyes of fans. What do you think of the fan analysis of the PlayStation's first 15 years? If you have additional highlights or lowlights you'd like to chime in with please comment below or reply to GamePro on Twitter.
