The PlayStation is a video game console made by Sony. PlayStation games were released on CD-ROMs. The controllers that were originally released with the console had no analog joysticks on them. When the PSOne - a smaller version of the PlayStation - was released, a new controller was also released. It was called "DualShock", and had two vibrating motors inside it and two joysticks.
