Sony has been creating PlayStation consoles for 25 years and continues to develop it until its newest generation, PlayStation 5. No wonder there are many people who also want their products to sell well just like these bootleggers who made bootleg PlayStation consoles. Are you curious about this list of bootleg PlayStation consoles?
1. Super Megason IV

This bootleg console resembles PS1. What attracts the customers is the kid in the picture seemingly floating in the space. And why does the kid have 3D glasses, a gun, and holding the controller that way? This is actually a depiction for the people about what video games are like.
The best part is the “with extra cartridge” words printed on the box which means extra bonus games. In fact, only NES games are available and not all of them.
2. Play and Power I

Just like Super Megason IV, Play and Power I look very similar to PS1. The funny thing is, this PlayStation bootleg console requires a cartridge to play the games. Though CDs are easier to pirate, while making cartridges actually costs more. The price of Super Nintendo and N64 games at that time was quite expensive in the market.
3. Mini Polystation 3

This one resembles PS3. Although the font is somewhat different, the physical design looks very similar. And if you look closely, this console looks smaller than the original. The pop-out screen is where you play the game.
All of the available games are similar to Tiger Electronics, handheld consoles in the 80s and 90s. No cable available to connect to the TV and this console requires three AA batteries to play. PS3 Portable sounds pretty cool, but not like this!
4. PCP Station

When we see the design and buttons, this console looks like a combination between PSP and Xbox. On the box, it shows that the console is support by earphones, but can all types of earphones be used or is only support one type of earphone?
Inside there are five games that have been installed, including Super Mary, Nonsuch Fly Racing, Thunderbolt Airplane, Street Overload, and Chanticleer Hegemony. All these games really garbage with ridiculous music.
5. Data Frog Y3

“Data Frog 4K Video Game Console With 2.4G Wireless Controller 600 Classic Games For SEGA/GBA/SNES Family TV Retro Game Console”, that is the description of this console found on the online store, Alibaba. As you can see, this is a PS4 knock off that has a mini design.
6. Ouye

The name is a bit confusing, but when you look at its design, you certainly won't expect it. This console game manufacturer combines two popular consoles at once in its products, namely PlayStation 4 (fat) and Xbox One.
This console has a machine that looks very similar to the PlayStation 4 (fat). However, the manufacturer adds lines on the top surface which is similar to the Xbox One. Despite having a machine similar to PlayStation 4, Ouye controller actually has a shape resembles to Xbox One controller.
While on the inside, this console has specifications such as Octa-core Allwinner A80 board (ARM Cortex A15 / A7), PowerVR G6230 GPU, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 16GB of memory, and runs Android 4.4.2. operating system. Yep, Ouye is a game machine for playing Android games.
7. X6 Retro PSP

8. RS X9

RS X9 looks similar to PSP, it’s like the combination of PSP and PS Vita to be exact. The game display on the bubble-shaped screen like PS Vita. The buttons look accurate, but with the extra plus and minus buttons whose functions are confusing. It looks like it can be used for volume, or brightness but it can also be used as an analog replacement based on the design.
9. Laystation 2

Despite being called Laystation 2, it's actually a PS2 Slim with a PS1 controller. This console plays 8-Bit games. Just like Play and Power I, the top opens up to install the cartridge. Yep, this is like a PS2 with cartridge. Without looking at the name and opening the disk, surely people will think this is a PS2.
10. CT821 X7

This is another portable console that also combines two different consoles. Basically it is PS Vita with two big differences. First of all, the button looks similar to the Nintendo console (X, Y, B, A). Talking about Nintendo, the left and right sides are colored like Switch.
This console system does connect to TV just like Switch and supports arcade games such as SNES, GBA, Game Boy, GBC, NES, and Sega Genesis.
