Sony has celebrated the fifth birthday of its leading games console with the UK anniversary of the Sony PS3 release marked with a timeline detailing the history of the PlayStation.

Detailing the past half-decade of PS3 existence via the official Sony PlayStation European Facebook page, Sony has celebrated the console’s latest milestone amidst repeated rumours of the console’s replacement with a Sony PS4 release tipped for next year.

Just days after bitter rival Microsoft rang in the 10th anniversary of the original Xbox’s arrival in Europe, Sony has marked five years of availability of its current core gaming console with the Sony PlayStation hitting European markets for the first time on March 23rd 2007.
