Let's make this birthday one to remember.

74 years old (Born on August 02, 1950)

Happy Birthday, Ken Kutaragi! The legendary "Father of the PlayStation," who single-handedly revolutionized gaming and made sure our thumbs got plenty of exercise. Thanks to you, millions have spent countless hours battling dragons, racing cars, and saving virtual worlds—while skillfully avoiding homework or chores.

Even though you've stepped away from Sony's spotlight since 2011 as honorary chairman of SCEI, your legacy continues stronger than ever. Every time someone boots up a PlayStation console (and inevitably argues over who's player one), we fondly remember your visionary genius. Here's wishing you another year filled with joy—and hopefully fewer loading screens!
