Sony Interactive Entertainment is the video game division of the Sony group, formed in 1993 to develop the original PlayStation and now headquartered in San Mateo, California rather than Tokyo. It designs and sells the PlayStation consoles and accessories, runs the PlayStation Network and its PlayStation Plus subscription service, and owns PlayStation Studios, a group of development studios including Naughty Dog, Insomniac Games, Guerrilla Games, Santa Monica Studio and Bungie. The business earns most of its revenue from software and network services rather than hardware, and its first-party titles are increasingly released on personal computers after a console exclusivity window.
