[@steveweidig5373]

@@emilekaram6094 Well, the PS2 was selling for 12 years, Switch is only in it's 8th year and still selling. It shipped 148M in October and will certainly be over 150M by end of the year (more like 152-153M in fact). It will probably be tight, but the Switch still can make it.

[@MrVariant]

Yeah consoles generally got worse and ps2 playing dvds started the trend, while costing less than ps3. I am glad pc hybrids have gotten better now, as first party stopped making non-Mario games (and limited run games/gamestop being a physical joke, with pc game pass replacing xbox's lack of physicals) in general let alone ps plus premium is too expensive just to play demos that pc does and online multiplayer, for free. Just an expensive start that pays for itself in versatile storefronts, less censorship, an early access notification before buying, and rom hacks. Not sure how mobile is hanging in but they got their whales. I thought mobile would be the future for handheld though I feel they are limited to simpler games and the energy meters hurt its value though many like with consoles, settle for less, as spiderman 2 selling 11M copies despite bugs and bad writing did.

[@dimitrideckers5200]

3:40 A Mistake? It says "Mario 64" but still shows Yoshi's Island.

[@leokimvideo]

Really exposes how Playstation 5 missed the market. Too expensive and not a huge leap forward after PS4

[@prudencianoneto]

There's still time. Also note that ps4 games also sell in ps5 and still count as a ps4 game

[@timhoward5]

That's what I was saying, they put out PS5 a little waaay too early. PS4 was still good as we can see.

It sold almost as much(65m)as the PS4(67m).

[@هايالقناةفقطتجربة]

it's crazy how much games the xbox 360 ps3 and wii sold back when there were many fun games and not just a hand full

[@steveweidig5373]

Interesting to note is also that all those digital-only titles in the Nintendo eShop on the Switch are not counted by Nintendo towards Software sales. If they were, then the Switch would probably already had overtaken the PS2 a long time ago...

[@RevanSecura]

PS2 says "nobody will ever beat me." Nintendo Switch says "Are you sure about that? because the way things are going I'm going to open a can of whoop-ass on you before my time of being popular dies out for good.

I have 44 Playstation 2 games, the last ones I played were Gran Turismo 5 and GTA 4 on Playstation 3... I was stuck in the past and it's one of the best memories I'll never regret! I haven't played new games since 2012

[@DefaultFlame]

4:04 Took until the end of '98 for the NES to be dethroned, and it was still selling games. Damn. Edit: God damn, PS2 is king. No surprise really, I might not have owned one, being a Nintendo boy before becoming a PC man, but everyone and their grandma had a PS2 back in the day. Edit2: Fucking spam bots in the comments.

[@hectarius7261]

Considering the insane amount of pirated games for the ps2 it is safe to say that it's the most played console in history. Also, could anyone tell me how did the Master System sell more games than the SNES? It's just crazy to me.

[@julianmarquez7581]

Wii and Switch probably are most played than ps2, The casual public is a vast ocean of users and both systems bring together entire groups of families or friends.

[@roygoodhand1301]

Can the Switch put Nintendo back on top for the first time in over 20 years, or will the PS5 be able to catch up and continue Sony's reign of dominance over the venerable 130+ year old company that single-handedly saved the entire industry 40 years ago? The recent barrage of Pokemon games has certainly helped Nintendo, but they need to get back on top before GTA 6 comes out. ...speaking of the sixth game in a series, isn't it about time to start thinking about Super Smash Bros. 6? Mario Kart 9, maybe? Pikmin 5? Even a revival of the Star Fox series? Nintendo has so many options.

[@DS9TREK]

The last Smash Bros was called Ultimate and ultimate means "last". How can there be another? Will it be called "Smash Bros Ultimate: This Time We Mean It"?

[@mutalix]

​@DS9TREK "This time we mean it" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Thanks for the laugh bruh

[@supermariogamer1757]

​@@DS9TREKsakurai stated that there will be another smash game at some point

[@julianmarquez7581]

Super Smash Bros. Omniverse

[@scmtuk3662]

Now do one but with the ratio of "game sold to consoles sold" i.e. "catchment rate". PS2 sold 1,537,000,000 per roughly 158,000,000 which is a ratio of 9.72 PS4 sold 1,419,500,000 per roughly 117,200,000 which is a ratio of 12.11 Switch sold 1,235,820,000 per roughly 141,320,000 which is a ratio of 8.74 So, even though PS2 has sold more games in total, it also sold more consoles, whereas PS4 sold more games _per_ system, which in my opinion is a better comparison.

[@you2be839]

That's just one way of seeing it, because whereas the PS2 had 160+ games that sold 1 million+ copies; the PS4 (just like the PS3) only has about 40 games that sold 1 million+ copies... at least if Wikipedia's numbers are anything to be trusted... So the PS2 had more popular games that most wanted to play... and while I don't know PS4's games sales numbers, if 1,419,500,000 is correct, then that means PS4 may be selling more games per system, but the vast majority of those games aren't even selling 1 million copies...

[@PeBoVision]

It should be noted that the entire launch library, and a large number of subsequent game releases for the Odyssey2 were written by a single coder...who was not even a coder, but an Intel salesman. He single-handedly kept the Odyssey2 in 2nd place behind Atari for many years until the system was discontinued with the video game crash, and Phillips exited the video game space. His name was Ed Averett and he deserves a spot in the video game hall of fame and an honourable mention here.

[@EricBrancato]

It's strange that during the crash of the video games industry in 1983, the games sold doesn't seem to slow down.

[@stabilini]

PS2 numbers are at least 3 or 4 times higher, as software piracy was a hugh thing that time.

[@dylanmajor100]

That's nice but there are some errors: Most the of the consoles report game sales even after Lifespan ended. The lastest numbers from those discontinued consoles and their date: PS1 in March 2007, PS2 and PSP in March 2012, PS3 in March 2019, Wii in March 2021, DS in September 2022 and 3DS in March 2024. Also, Super Mario World was popular on the SNES, not NES and you have the wrong gif for Super Mario 64.

[@joelgeneve537]

Je n'aurai jamais cru que la Master system avais vendu autant de jeux. Impressionnant. 😮

[@Spherify]

didn't expect ps4 to sell that much. I suppose ps5 will go to top once GTA 6 is released. I'll buy ps5 pro just for that game in waiting for PC release.

PS2 is the best gaming console ever made. It was seriously unbeatable in it's prime, and it ages very, very well today. PS4 has recaptured some of PS2's magic. It's too bad commodore is not on this list.

[@SecondaryYoshi50Win]

No, It isn't the best. Its extremely overrated

[@AlexPaulsen1]

@SecondaryYoshi50Win you are entitled to your opinion. However, the numbers don't lie. PS2 is (still) the best selling console ever, and with highest number of games sold, only challenged by it's own successor and Switch. That is no coincidence.

I think it’s pretty safe to say the Nintendo switch will be surpassed the PS2 in both console sales and total game sales. It makes sense just how many games digitally you can buy for the switch.

[@TheTheme]

The Wii outsold the 360 and the PS3 so those numbers are wrong. The 360 numbers sold has an asterisk on it because most bought more than 1 because of the red ring of death.

[@jdb2002]

It's game sales, not console sales. A lot of people bought a Wii, but many didn't buy more than a couple of games, if that. Many were happy just to play Wii Sports.

There are still numbers on what was sold on digital stores and physical… game pass technically can’t count towards “sales” as would watched on Netflix ain’t the same as picking up the Blu-ray. But if u rating on “players” then yeh give up as do all the f2p count too.

[@StephenHunts]

This NES was the first GREAT console though. Childhood classics 😊

[@terran0797]

I don’t think the ps2 being still up there is crazy since the final number of its console sales were around 160 million. What’s crazy to me is that the master system sold not only more games than the genesis, which sold possibly 35-40 million consoles, whereas the master system sold possibly as many as about 21 million. So with roughly half as many consoles sold, not only did the sega master system still out sell the genesis on game sales but held the last spot on this list even into 2024. Unless this was all a big typo and that’s supposed to be the sega genesis, that would make more sense to me lol
