With the PlayStation brand being a major player in gaming history, which PS console do you think left the biggest mark on the industry? Was it the original PlayStation that introduced CD-based games and revolutionized 3D gaming? Or perhaps the PS2 with its massive library and DVD playback? Maybe the PS3 with its online capabilities and Blu-ray?

The PS2 undoubtedly left the biggest mark, blending gaming and entertainment with its vast library and DVD functionality, shaping future consoles.

The original PlayStation is my pick. It shifted gaming away from cartridges and toward CDs, reducing costs and allowing for larger, more complex games. Plus, it pushed gaming into the mainstream with titles like 'Final Fantasy VII' and 'Metal Gear Solid,' creating a new standard for cinematic storytelling in games. As much as I love the PlayStation 2, the PlayStation was the one that started it all.
