A PlayStation fan is showing off their impressive custom LEGO build replicating the original console from Sony, even featuring a detailed interior to the PS1. The PlayStation stands to this day as one of the most iconic home consoles in video game history, serving as Sony’s big arrival in the gaming industry. The PlayStation even remains one of the best-selling video game consoles of all-time, sitting just outside the top 5 consoles in all-time sales with over 100 million consoles sold. Now, one fan is paying tribute to the iconic console in LEGO form.
Sony has featured plenty of throwbacks to the PS1 itself, both within the developer’s newest platforms and with throwback consoles. Sony released the PlayStation Classic in 2018 amidst the mini classic console craze, though the mini console was criticized when compared with the NES and SNES Classic consoles. The developer has also often made classic PS1 games available on the PS4 and PS5, particularly through its PS Plus Premium subscription service. A passionate PlayStation fan is now showing off their own LEGO PlayStation build.
