Before Becoming a Household Name in Gaming, PlayStation Owners Sony Were Actually ‘Cooking in the Kitchen’

Sony is easily among the foremost companies in the gaming industry with an array of products and services that help them to dominate the market authoritatively. Along with some of the biggest titles in the industry, Sony also is among the two top gaming console-manufacturing and selling brands around the globe.

However, what they were doing before making it big in the gaming industry would surely baffle many fans. In a recent YouTube video about the first products by some leading brands, fans got to know about the first products from the PlayStation sellers.

Sony started out in the kitchen: Fans in stitches

Sony Interactive Entertainment has some of the most industry-defining games under its belt including the Bloodborne franchise, God of War, and the Street Fighter franchise. With such a resume, it can be difficult for fans to comprehend how the empire actually started out: by making electric rice cookers. Despite making a number of kitchen simulation games, it is seemingly funny that the company had actual knowledge as a resource base for those games.

Initial project failed leading Sony to a new direction

It would be easy to believe that a product like an electric rice cooker developed by Sony would do great in the market, especially in Japan. However, in the YouTube video viewers can go LOL learning about how Sony’s first product couldn’t make a significant impact. The product was apparently not good at what it was made for, which resulted in Sony ultimately ditching plans to launch the product altogether.

With the reputation of Sony, as it is now, it would be difficult for anyone to even imagine that one of their first products was a dump and may easily be the reason that Sony had to jump ship to enter the gaming industry. Fans would at least feel contended with the end result that has given them multiple titles they share fond memories with.

It would be worth the mention that another video game industry giant Nintendo had started out as a card game manufacturer, which was a popular game among organized criminal gangs in Japan, before also changing roles and making their impact felt across the video game market.
