Yeah. It's true now more than ever, it's kinda sad to see Xbox and Playstation play basically all the same games, with some few exclusives. It's why I usually stick to Nintendo, I like having unique titles to play on a console, because the Switch does play alot of AAA titles that are also avaliable on the other 2.

The PS2 backwards compatibility implemented on the PS3 is a key factor to the PS3's initial faliure in competition to the Xbox 360. Sony engineers used a system-on-a-chip from the PS2 onto the PS3, which costed a lot of money, making the PS3 cost a grand to make, yet they sold it for $499-$599, when the Xbox 360 was only $299. After realising how bad Sony was in competition, Sony decided to abandon the chip placements on future models, that included later PHAT models as well as Slim and Super Slim models, reducing the price to $299, which was still a loss but beneficial for Sony to lose less money to make more from its games.

[@jmurray1110]

Well that and the cell possessor, the Xbox launching first and the awful idea the company had about marketing

[@Rokabur]

Wasn't even 100% compatibility from what I heard.

[@enoztheprotogenshadeyboii7074]

Sony still beat out Microsoft in the end though. The difference was only by a few million (like 87.4M for PlayStation to 86.7M for Xbox or something around there).

Ahhh nice to see the first Gen model of the ps3 get some love. That was the only ps3 console I bought and stuck with it. Never got the slim or anything just because of the backwards compatibles for both ps1 and 2. Have so many games I can get back to and play immediately and have a blast!

I notice some consoles were left out from the list, though I can understand why. I remember there was a TV with a built-in PS2 in it and also not sure if this would count as a separate console, but the PocketStation could technically be considered the predecessor of the PSP.

[@LemonNote1]

For me, the original Playstation will always be one of my favorites. It's so nostalgic for me, I still remember playing Final Fantasy 9 and Symphony of the Night when I was really young (so like the late 2000's- early 2010's) sadly, the ps1 broke after a while, it stopped reading discs :(

[@valestivale4711]

"The smaller reason the Vita failed was the proprietary storage" No my friend. That was the whole reason it failed. The storage was more expensive than a game, usually. It turned off parents and enthusiasts alike because it was a disgusting practice, and the price gap was just inaccessible for most. Why the hell would a parent want to buy a 250 Vita and then drop 60 on storage, when you could buy a 3DS (after price drop) with like 4 games for the same price Without the adopters, Sony didnt see the base to make many dedicated games for it, which further decentivized buying a psvita or its storage. A self defeating cycle

[@jakedematteo2172]

it failed mainly because it didn't get good games

[@elFUAAH]

You're obviously to young to know that PSP memory cards were just as expensive. I bought the red chain of Olympus psp and it came with a downloadable code for syphon filter but no memory card so I had to walk back to store and pay $40 for 8gb. The psp came out before smartphones. the ds wasn't it's only competitor, it was also competing against all the ipods, mp3, mp4, portable DVD player, and pda's. Psp came out when devices were made to do one thing and the psp did everything. The psp software grew along with the ps3 The ps vita is the premium psp but it came out when we didn't need a psp anymore.

[@elFUAAH]

I love the vita I own 5 but it came out when smartphones could do everything a psp and vita could and better. The real question was why carry another device with me. The memory cards didn't kill the vita. They were actually pretty affordable 3 or 4 years later. 8 gb were 3.50 at Walmart. I have the proof on my ig

[@kuchenblechmafiagmbh1381]

​@@elFUAAH Half true AFAIK there were also third party Memory Sticks by SanDisk and next to SD also Compact Flash (and Microdrive a tiny 1" Hard Drive) cards were pretty common and some forgotten formats like SmartMedia, xD, MMC (some MMC also work in SD slots) and a lot of cameras also had proprietary USB connectors in the mid-2000s. But when the Vita came out, Memory Sticks were dead, Sony Cameras and Phones already switched to [micro]SD (though the cameras into the mid-2010s could still use Memory Sticks in their SD slot before they switched to SD only) the de facto standard together with Micro USB.

I like how the artifacts in Astros Playroom on the PS5 are old or new PlayStation consoles and controllers. Some of them bring back memories. The first ever console I used was a PS3 in 2017. (I know I was using a ps3 in 2017 lol) Back then I was pretty young but I had a fun time playing Lego marvel, and now that’s why it’s one of my favourite games today. Astros playroom is another one of my favourites because of the memories it brought back.

[@itsmebk7]

Great video but just one thing. Your number 1 spot. That's actually not a backwards compatible ps3. It's a model before the slim that removed 2 out of the 4 USB ports, the card reader slots, and the backwards compatibility. Another easy way to tell the difference is the silver trim around the disc slot. On backwards compatible units it's chrome instead of silver

The Vita TV was amazing for the first few days after I bought one. It was a strangely awesome and yet frustratingly limited device. It was all the little frustrations that caused me to give it to my nephew. All the frustrations seem to be things that Sony implemented to keep it from becoming overly successful and cannibalizing the PS4 market. In some ways I wish I kept mine for the retro gaming.

[@shaymorcormick8743]

Amazing how Sony will make something, freak out of may be successful,and promptly shoot themselves in the foot

[@novantha1]

IMO the PS Vita was Sony at its best. I know this might seem like an odd opinion, but the menus, handfeel, display, and backwards compatibility are all great so far as a handheld is concerned (would have loved more PS2 ports, though!), and while the Vita library on its own wasn't great, as someone who only has a PS5 and a gaming PC, it's been an absolute blast getting a hold of many of the PSP and PS1 exclusives I wouldn't have had a great chance to try, otherwise.

[@zelbom757]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES

[@bane2201]

Also, it had some good/great RPGs, and it was/is THE handheld for visual novels.Also, if you installed CFW on it you could use microSD cards and use English patches of some Japanese-only games. (Off the top of my head: Catherine, Clannad, Zanki Zero, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth, Trails in the Sky.) If you include fan patches/translations, in terms of VNs it's probably still ahead of the Switch.

I find it hilarious how you would just need two specific Playstation consoles just to be able to play the entire library or a majority of them on all 5 consoles.

[@Hijiri_MIRACHION]

Much like how you would only need two specific Nintendo handhelds (the GBA SP and the New 3DS) to play a majority of their handheld library. It's cool when this occurs as it means you won't have to spend as much on consoles for a game collection.

[@ChippTheFox]

I wanna comment on the PSvita as someone who owns 3 (1 doesn't work) I'm so... so mad at Sony for this console and the treatment it got. Everything you said was correct, but what a lot of people didn't hear, is that Sony literally got mad at US, the customers, for "Not wanting it enough" when hundreds of thousands of posts across the web a day were begging for something new, or to update the ps1/ps2 collection store that was promised. Gravity rush was basically the only launch game worth playing, and even that only lasted a few months. They lied about 60% of all the promises they made for the vita and blamed everyone else for it's failure. It had SUCH a good shot and I can't imagine what we'd have now if Sony just... did what they said they were going to. For those unaware: Sony's claims were as follows 1. The vita will get massive 1st and 3rd party support: Only half of this was true, it was a 3rd party machine because for the first 2 years of it's life it had a total of 8 1st party games. 2 of them were on launch.... 2. That it would have ps1 and ps2 backwards compatibility support via the store: While this was true, they also mentioned they'd be updating the store constantly.... They didn't... for almost 3 years there were less than 30 playable games, and most of them were games from 3rd parties once again that were just shovelware. 3. That it would netflix/youtube/twitter support: And it did.... Kind of. We got all 3, but only twitter was available for the first year, youtube only lasted a year before it was shut down, and netflix only worked a handful of times and that too got shut down the same year. They killed their own console, and blamed the community for it. It's so disheartening as someone who loves his vita and plays the entire wipeout series daily...

@@bing4156 it’s still worth decent money for parts on eBay if it’s never been repaired before.

[@egg6022]

Same. It was the very first console I bought right after its release. After 16 years, it remains right next to my PS4 in my bedroom and can still run perfectly.

Hot take: discs should be completely swapped out for game cartridges like the ones on the switch even on large consoles, for one simple reason. I have only ever played one video game off of a disc my whole life, civ 4 on my old PC. It was a fun game and then the disc broke and I was super bummed. I have yet to have a single cartridge break.

14:00 I got a first Gen PS Vita bc it was the only one I could find for a decent price (good deal too, I got it at the price of a used thing but it was barely used since it left the factory, even had the factory firmware version)

[@RylansGames.archive]

yay his channels back. i love to watch his channel when im sad or i want to learn about video games. ps i was sad when his channel was gone

The Vita had a weird glitch that when not being on the device for a few weeks, you have 2 put in time and date again. The Vita was less liked comparative 2 the PSP. Some systems i have never heard of like PSP TV and i live in Europe. We did have PSX, but that was a alternative version of the PS2, not that Japan exclusive 1.

[@stupiddumboidiot1]

It's not a glitch, it's the console dying and not reconnecting to the internet, therefore, it doesn't know the date and time

Really hope there's an Xbox version of this. It would be a shorter video, but it would be interesting to hear you talk about how the consoles aged.

The PlayStation3 is probably my favourite console as well! My Dad use to have the original PS3 until I think it overheated and died, but since I was like 2 when it happened, I never knew until way later. So we instead had a PS3 Super Slim, but despite that I had an absolute amazing time with the PS3, and after almost a decade, still play it constantly to this very day due to all of the great games featured. LittleBigPlanet, Skate 1, 2 and 3, Worms Armageddon 2 and Ultimate Mayhem, Stealth Inc. 1 and 2 and so much more!

[@ThomastheDankEngine8900]

Great video for respecting the PS3. Lots of conformists claim the 360 is better because they build their personality around what Hollywood and media say.

[@ytuser2625]

I still play mine too

[@evek4727]

PS3 is such a premium console! I still can watch the latest version of Netflix and KZbin on it.

[@ytuser2625]

I have a super slim but I can't connect to PSN because it doesn't want to connect to the internet even when I type in correct information, but I can still play it. I've been playing Sonic unleashed for like 6 years now and still haven't finished it.

[@ddd7038]

PS3 (Fat) is ranked too high. - Yeah it has physical PS2 Back compat support, but half of those Back compat games has various problems (some games just crash on bootup). - Beyond that, whatever the Fat model can do, the slim and super slim (if it has it) can also do it

[@scottlentfert1827]

Im with you, i think it should be ranked right below the ps3 slim

[@beunjoris]

I agree. I prefer to look at this stuff in context when it was released, where it had a terrible price point, hardware failures, and it was a big loud beefy fire hazard. PS2 and PS3 Slim should be ranked very high instead

[@SpeedG4mer]

You know I was always “meh” about the weird design of the PS5, but I’d only seen the digital version. This “standard” PS5-with-a-tumour design is awesome! Somehow making it weirder really works for me!

[@jeffj9213]

😁 same for me , the symetrical one looks like it is missing something and looks stupid imho (like it can fall on its side easily) ,but the turmour design has a nice weird look and also looks a bit more decent ? I dont know what it is haha I also think its a bit nicer to be able to use a cd.

(I'm a month and a half late, but whatever.) 2:12 The PlayStation Classic controller is indeed smaller than the original, IF you live in North America. See, the size of the Classic's controller is identical to that of the original Japanese version, which came out in late 1994. When the PS1 was to be released elsewhere the following year, Sony decided to make the controller about 10% bigger, because the average hand size of American people is larger than that of Japanese people. I'm not sure about the controller's size in other regions, but those two are the relevant ones in this conversation. When the PS Classic was released in 2018, there were many problems with the system, most of which were the result of time constraints. Sony desperately wanted to get it on store shelves on the anniversary of the PS1's Japanese release, which was December 3rd. That date in 2018 was actually the 24th anniversary, and I feel like delaying it to the same day but in 2019 would not only celebrate a much more satisfying number of years, but also cause the thing to be far less rushed. One of the side effects of that rush was that there wasn't enough time to produce two different types of controllers, an original Japanese size for them, and a 10% bigger one for most other countries. So, they simply shipped the PS Classic with the smaller one worldwide. Now, that last part isn't officially confirmed, it's just my theory. There could be a myriad of actual reasons for this incredibly minor detail that I just wrote two paragraphs about. I just wanted to let you know that what you said at the above timestamp didn't tell the whole story. Nathaniel probably won't even read this comment, so this last half hour may have just been a waste of time. Great video, if he ever does see this!
