Example 4
(Development Cycle)
Requirements: To beat the specs of the competitive Dreamcast system, to be better than the Playstation 1 system and backwards compatible to it, and to be the cheapest DVD player at the time, thus expanding the market.
Design: Kept the same controller and memory card due to backwards compatibility and since they worked well with the previous system, and it had to be a bigger system to fit the DVD player within. It also was made to lay flat or on its side to fit into any entertainment center. It is black to make it stand apart from the Dreamcast and since black appliances were beginning to be in vogue at the time. USB ports were put in to connect accessories to it, to connect USB jump drives or printers, and for its future online capabilities.
Development: The console was released October 26, 2000 and also had additional versions released, the PS SlimLine (a smaller version of the same console), PSX (TV recorder and DVD burner along with the PS2), and the Sony BRAVIA KDL22PX300 (a TV with the ps2 built in.)
Testing: It was tested for many months, I am sure, but Sony keeps this information under wraps. Since there were little to no problems with the first version released, I'm sure it was plenty tested. (This picture is not mine and I take no credit.)
