Asmongold knowing NOTHING of the subject he talks about .... Sega CD could play music CDs without any issues, and also VCDs , but those were technically unknown outside Japan, and were a niche even there. Sega Saturn was NOT TRASH, it was an OVERLY complex system to code for because it had multiple processors and that in 1995 was a virtual unknown and game developers CBA to code for it , even though there are some impressive unreleased, but quite complete games that can be found now on the interwebz that prove that the hardware was adequate beyond what people give it credit for. Also older consoles (1st-2nd gen) DID NOT FAIL due to bad capacitors - they failed because MAINLY the 1983 VIDEO GAME CRASH happened , because the market was over saturated and games that were literal trash came out (case in point - E.T, that ended up having virtually all its copies DUMPED in a LANDFILL). Also SEGA System was not the 1st SEGA console - Japan had the SGX-1000 that I think went to MK III before being re-labelled as Master System for EU , and Sega System for NA

Dream Cast was innovative. The memory card in the middle of the controller served as a display screen for multiple player card games like Sonic shuffle, so friends can't see ur hand. It also had built-in mini games for your chao garden in Sonic adventure 1 and 2.

[@SupraMsR]

probably the best console ever made!

[@BarbokVA]

People in Chat are sad that the console doesn't work, but fact is the most old consoles simply just need a bit of dusting and isopropanol on the parts inside, since most consoles usually aren't broken but just filthy, you see it a lot where people sell their old consoles thinking they are dead then you just "restore" them, and usually you don't even have to fix them but just clean inside.

[@bk8230]

The snes had so many good games. The dreamcast memory cards had a small screen in them. It was crazy, like a tamogachi in the memory card. And Xbox used to have solid exclusives, but now you can play Xbox on pc. So build a pc, and you will never need an Xbox. And pc may not be as easy as a console, but is better in performance.

[@Vengir]

Microsoft probably knows by now how good Linux is if you are not a gamer (and it's getting better in that area as well), so they need to add extra value for it if they want it to remain relevant in the long run. You get Xbox if you can't afford to build the PC that will satisfy you.

I don't believe they included handheld systems. The DS famly(DS, Lite, DSI, DSI XL) sold 154.9 millions units according to a site know as Statista making it the second best selling system of all time with it second only to the PS2 by about 3 million units. Plus the Gameboy sold 118.7 million units as well. So I guess they just wanted to give everyone a fighting chance by not including nintendo's handhelds since they've sold around 473 million handhelds between Game and Watch,GB, GBA, DS, and 3DS with that likely surpassing all of Sony's console sales including PSP and Vita which weren't on this list

[@SanjiBlackLegz]

Yeah the list was for home systems. Handhelds are whole another league though. I hade GBA back in the days and fucking loved it. Then came PSP, and now I have 2DS XL for travel and emulation. Big thing about handhelds is they are for some reason really easy to sail the high seas: GBA had flash cartridges and you could upload roms on them, PSP and DS/3DS had a custom firmware and you would upload roms on a memory card, very easy and cheap if not free. While home consoles usually had some protection, region locks, all that stuff to prevent piracy. My 2DS XL has games that I couldn't play another way since some the old consoles were not sold in my country, so I could play games like Ocarina of Time or Mario 64 only recently, thanks to Virtual Console and pirate ports.

[@RaMir0bj]

As someone who owned a Sega Saturn I can tell you that it could also play Cd's, and some game CD's if you put on your CD player had some freebies like the game OST, another thing that the Saturn had over PlayStation (my opinion) was it had internal memory storage, contrary to the PlayStation mandatory memory cards.

[@Chazwozel1]

I've generally been a Nintendo guy. Had an NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Cube, Wii, Wii U, Switch. In college I had a PS2 at launch (pre-order baby!). I had that PS2 forever. Never got into Xbox until this year when I bought a Series X for my kids. Series X seems to have more promise as a system over PS5, but man linking your account with your Microsoft PC ID is really dumb. My kids love minecraft and the gamepass stuff so it works nice. I mainly like it for the 4k Blu Ray capabilities. Nintendo 64 will always be my favorite console. I got that thing for Christmas in 95, and Mario 64 was mind-blowing at the time. Close second is the PS2. Man, just so many good games on that thing. Metal Gear 2 and 3, GoW, Gran Turismo, GTA Vice City, GTA SA,

[@lifetranscendence3711]

Intellivision was actually cool. The controller has the ability to place overlays. Baseball game had an overlay with the bases and you could press the pad key to quickly throw the ball to where you wanted. It was very innovative for the time. You probably did not appreciate it because your specific game choices might not line up. Coleco allowed Donkey Kong at home; omega race was a fun game. Atari 2600 Activision games were the best: river raid was awesome. I have played games ever since 1984. Saw everything gaming come out and it was a cool ride. Nintendo was awesome but 3D space harrier for sega master system was cool too! Let’s not forget golden age of arcades and roller skating! Hah.

[@drag0nmancer]

Asmon, the sega saturn could also play CD's just like the playstation. and sega saturn actually had a number of good games, its just that the US release of the console was bungled and hard to get, leading to poor sales and the eventual death of the console. But there were amazing games for the saturn, MR Bones, Nights into Dreams, Panzer Dragoon 1+2, Valora Valley Golf, Shellshock, Command and Conquer (which had the full CG movies, unlike the N64 version), and so many other good games. But the Saturn was also really difficult to develop games for. I still have my sega saturn (with the special thumbstick). The only game I regret not ever getting when I had the chance during the Saturn era was Panzer Dragoon Saga. That game alone is probably worth almost a grand now. I hear from people who do own the game that its one of the best RPG's ever made, and as a long time Panzer Dragoon fan, my heart still hurts thinking about it and missing my chance to get that game.

[@ElectricJoeski]

You pretty summed it up. The Saturn was absurdly expensive for a console. The infographic got it wrong -- it was $399 at launch. It soon went down in price after they realized how massive Sony was becoming. I practically lived at my friend's house when he got it. The selection and number of games were pitiful (Daytona Racing was the strongest by far, unless you really liked fighting games) at launch -- but it showed that you could bring the Arcade to the living room.

[@theburgundynetwork3432]

I might be wrong as I've never tried to emulate Saturn games, but I'm pretty sure you could emulate Panzer Dragoon on a PC if you wanna play it so bad.

[@drag0nmancer]

@@theburgundynetwork3432 unfortunately you are wrong, saturn emulation is notoriously difficult, due to the way the system was developed and the games were designed, its really difficult to get emulators and roms of the saturn to work, much less work together. thats part of the reason why Saturn games often sell for crazy amounts of money, is because a lot of games are difficult to even try and emulate, so you are pretty much stuck with relying on physical media to play most games, and thus demand is really high. Not to mention a lot of saturn games didnt get enough distribution that they should have, so a lot of games are hard to come by due to just how low the printings counts of games were.

6:11 Not gonna lie, one of the buying points that I had in convincing my old man to buy me a PS2 back in the day (I realize he's talking about PS1 but it's still relevant with the PS2) is that it could play CDs and DVDs. That was back around 2003-4 probably, 2005 at the latest. I can't recall talk of the 'thin' version of the PS2 back then, though I do recall having seen one after having gotten my full-sized PS2. The variety of games... my God... incredible. I was buying used games so damn often, spent a lot of time in EB Games, also brought back games I didn't like for them and they gave me credit or something like that so as to purchase used games there. I prefer being a computer gamer with mods and what not, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy my time as a console peasant.

If they also included Handhelds I think Nintendo would be first. This chart ended with Sony in the lead with 130 million extra sold. Now add the PSP and Vita to Sony (PSP 80 million + Vita 15 million) = 545 million total. Now Nintendo homeconsoles had 320 million and now we add Gameboy, DS and 3DS (Gameboy 118 million, DS 154 million, 3DS 75 million) = 667 million total. In the end I like both Sony and Nintendo just not sure why they excluded handhelds. They are definitely also "Game Consoles".

[@KiIowatt]

Gamepass for pc is a good value if you've never played most of the library but there's not a pc port of every console game, so an xbox is needed to get the most out of it.

[@Nick-jb4xi]

But all the companies past #5 only made one thing a looooong time ago, when home consoles were vastly less popular. ...and they were trash. The big home consoles went from monopoly, to duopoly. If Xbox wasn't backed by microsoft's endless money, they would've gone under. The extra competiton reduced the available market share for Sega. Point is, it's too hard a market to get into, and then you have to be in the top 3 or your company dies. There hasn't been any serious competition for that #5 slot.

[@Nick-jb4xi]

It's hard to imagine a company getting into consoles at this point. The only real contenders are Google and Amazon, simply because they are gigantic super-rich tech companies. Amazon seems more likely, as they could link their consoles with Amazon Prime. Consoles ship free, they don't even need to put them in retailers at all, cutting out the middlemen completely at every level.

Being 5 years old, I spent HOURS playing on that (1 hour a day felt like 100 lol). I was the master of MK3 Ultimate - no one could beat me in the neighborhood. I knew all the fatalities for every character and how to unlock Shao Kahn and Motaro, but I did not know brutalities nor Shan-Tsung transforming tricks. And the DBZ game. I had it later for PC as well. Great times. Then moved onto PS1. Then PS2, PS3. My brother got the XBox 360 and then the One S. At that point I already was part of PC. PS1 to 3, and maybe 5 now. But the first 3 were great. They were literally the generation leap of the other one. Like I remember playing Winning Eleven A TON on PS1. My favorite games, but you couldn't play RE4 and the likes on that. That was PS2, massive upgrade. Not to forget DB Budokai Tenkaichi 3. And it still looks fucking great to this day tbh. Then PS3 came as "next gen", up in graphics, and usability with better online connection and services, web browser, etc. It didn't work well, I remembe rbuying that over a PC at the time bc it was kind of cheaper than a PC, and I didn't know anything about computers. With this I thought I can play games and browse the web which was what I used to do back then. The PS4 was like an update to PS3 while 5 is the clear generation leap.

That was my thought too. Until the Switch a massive amount of Nintendo's efforts went into handhelds. You can get away with only representing home consoles for Sega and Sony, but it's a weird take for Nintendo. Maybe they did it to keep things simple?

[@JackgarPrime]

@@ProperlyBasic11 The DS family, which does not include any versions of the 3DS, sold 154 million units by itself. That is 15% of all the sales grand total in this video with all companies combined. It is absurd how popular the DS and its iterations were.

[@ChumblesMumbles]

List like this one frequently leave out the Texas Instruments TI99 because it also was trying to play in the computer market as well. But it took cartridges, had games, and had controllers, so to me it was a video game console too. And by 1984 it had sold 2.8 million units (including to my family) before they stopped production. But that would have put it in 3rd or 4th place on this list at the time, so I feel like that's a missing piece.

[@0cetan]

Nah, Xbox 360 & Xbox one was goated

[@xenowerks7020]

I have a TurboGrafx-16 barely used mint condition. Playing games on it was great, smooth and colorful and the cartridge was simple and compact. The problem with the system was that no blockbuster had games for it.

[@Noin007]

IMO, the Gen 1 PS3 is the single best piece of console hardware there's ever been (when comparing each to what was available at the time). The software for the PS3 was super lacking through. BUT as someone who's PS1 and PS2 had died, that full backwards compatibility was incredible, PLUS as a movie buff the DVD and BD capability was just brilliant.

[@xF1revolution]

The PS3 is notorious for being an awful machine, particularly for developers. The 360 ran laps around that thing.

[@craxcorp5999]

As the Ps3 Slim shows up i was missing that there are not shown the Ps1 Slim ( the white one smaller with round edges), the Ps2 Slim and the Ps3 Super Slim ( The Ps3 where u push the top by side to put the disc in)

I got an atari 2600 in 82 . Still have it and all the games. The NES came out and it took over everything Been gaming ever since.

[@NickJayj]

I just love it when an American don't know that the Genesis was called Mega Drive in the rest of the world 😆

[@nekohel]

I liked the Wii U, but to this day, I still run into gamers that do not know it is a different system from the Wii.

[@EbonMaster]

I still own one but theres only like 7 games total over the course of the entire gen that felt worth getting. if I didnt end up playing BOTW and Bayonetta so much it would have felt like a complete waste of money.

[@BrandonM]

All my friends that were diehard Xbox fans when we were kids all turned to Playstation when PS4 came out.

[@Robert-k-R]

Nintendo would be a lot higher if you count handheld

[@mareksicinski3726]

8:52 Dark Souls was in the PS3 As was shadow of the colossus, Skyrim, FFXIV, tekken, it could play Blu-ray

[@armanda5609]

Xbox Series X/S with Gamepass (that also works on PC) is the best thing in gaming right now. 200+ games

[@Tekeysix]

@@ryanwest6035 I agree, I have not so much free time and I spent it only with quality games (well maybe 1 or 2 guilty pleasure games too 😉). Even without gamepass I have a huge backlog of games and didn't even pay for most of them. So for me gp is kinda useless, but for others who have time and/or little money it's the best deal out there.

Sega Saturn was massive in Japan and Hong Kong, it can play music and VCD

People who own Nintendo stock are VERY happy about the switch! Great product!

I would love to see video game software sales comparisons between consoles, handhelds, pc and mobile. Or perhaps revenue.

1.5 speed for maximum entertainment from the music, i just imagine a drunk pianist who goes ham

[@gabegu5102]

With the price gap closing between consoles and PC, consoles are pretty much vestigial at this point. And given the extra utility that a PC has as well, the only thing keeping consoles on life support is console exclusives

[@SmovBreeeZ]

Dood i remeber buying 4 sets of bongos for the Dk Bongoos on game cube lol...forgot about that till this vid ty!!!

I remember having a NES and SNES as a kid, but the SNES was branded the SNES but it looked like the Famicon version (in the UK)

[@quiknik22488]

azmongold doesn't understand inflation...the reason why a 200$ console seems like so much back then is a combination of inflation and being young and not being a millionaire

[@C4l4b82]

I had a SEGA Mega Drive and play the Games today over Steam again and again. Btw. Asmon, you are not alone, that you not eat salad, fruit or vegetable. See your charity video yesterday. Greetings from Germany

[@taa347]

I think I also got the gamecube for my 12 or 13th birthday. My dad had just finished building a new bedroom in the house. Didn't have a bed or anything. Just a old tv, a gamecube, a couple of friends and Clash of Ninja 2. Best birthday of my life

[@EliteriderU21]

i had an NES untill i was 5, started playing my first game ever, Super Mario Bros 3, i was 2 or 3 then. Shortly after we got the PS1, my parents sold it... 22 years later, i still recent them for it even today. Still love me parents though, they're great.

[@LigerSnowfiya]

The thing that was most appealing for playstation was that you can play PS1 games on the PS2 and I think you can play PS2 games on PS3 but you can't play the older version games on the PS4+ now. It's some kind of subscription now... So lame

[@2thre3]

Nintendo had a HUGE part of their profits from gaming missing on this list.

[@barkley8285]

PS3, 360, and WII were the glory days

[@kimmern999]

To me, PS or XBOX doesn't matter. I'm not concerned about exclusive games. I have PS4, but for this gen I bought the XBOX. Just to have a console. I'm a PC gamer at heart anyway. 👍🏼

[@KV000J]

I bought an atari2600 in 2013 and it came with off brand controllers and for some reason the only game that was included in the Ebay package that worked with those controllers was E.T... also, there were 4 copies of E.T. in the bundle I bought. I took one to GameStop as a prank and put it on a shelf. I waited about 30 minutes and someone grabbed it and took it to the counter. Then the employee snapped it in half and threw it in the trash. Only "prank" I've ever pulled but it was 100% worth it.

Someone needs to tell him to put his cam on the top left since the brand's logo is also near the bar 😂

I still remember that in a conference someone from Microsoft (probably its president) mentioned that the starting price of the xbox one was so low for them that they caused losses, Microsoft is the only company that I have heard that their products generate losse , but these are offset by games and add-ons

[@jesperbottenheft]

Ps3 was the shit for me cause it was so nice to play online for free. I played cods, gta's and some other singleplayer games. I sometimes cant believe that people hated ps3 although i would agree on the price from release.
