As a person that was alive during the release of all those consoles, you nailed it. My parents didn't understand why we needed it. Or the difference between 8 bit and 16 bit. The most asked question was, "Why doesn't it play the old games?" As if it were a scam. Then after they started seeing the games, they understood.

Honestly as an adult I don't understand why I would need a new console for myself. At least on launch. Right now I don't see anything interesting that is exclusive to strictly PS5. Like wow, it launched with a remake of a PS3 game, yeah let me sell my kidney. Later though, when the price is dropped and hardware/software problems are addressed in later revisions - that would be the time to buy it (if you wish to be a console peasant). You'd get a better sense of the gaming library too. The Last of Us was *the* game of PlayStation 3, and it came out like what, a year before PlayStation 4 did?

The PSP deserves way more credit than you're giving it. It was the first mass consumer friendly portable smart device with the ability to do movies, music, web browsing, and digital apps years before the iPhone. Hell, it even had accessories for a camera and GPS. Also Nintendo has always been awful in international markets outside of the US and Japan. They don't even have an official presence in India and many Asian/South American countries to this day. Sony has always been strong in catering to international markets with official retail vendors and quality localization. And that's all on top of the excellent library with tons of first party and third party support, as well as the ability to download and play almost all major PS1 titles.

Fair enough for portability bcz yes it was insanely powerful and capable for the time and even today. I mean gta on psp looks and plays better than any clone or anything on cell phones today.

Only nice thing was the fact you could import the following year, your psp cars to the ps3 GT5 game. So you had a head start on gt5 doing this. Almost as if thats what gt psp was made for.

I got a PSP when I was a lad and was largely unawares of any other game systems or brands or anything. I was obsessed, played all my games religiously and have replayed many of them since on my pc or on the PSP. Even got a new one after my old one wouldn’t hold a charge. It was a really fun system and I still talk a lot about the games, even now all these years later having had a DS, DSi XL, 3DS, switch, ps3, PS4…. PSP was an absolute banger in my book. Never had any problems jostling the disk or anything, I’d argue it is one of the MOST portable systems due to the screen being plastic and tough. It’s the type of system that you just throw in the bottom of your backpack. It can take a tumble. The switch is a good successor in my opinion if you liked the PSP a lot. Similar button layout, and has games that are more complex and less gimmicky than the ds games.

The one thing that saved the PlayStation 3 early was that it was the world's cheapest Blu-ray player. Then it became the world's cheapest 3D player when 3D was added with just the download. Literally our PlayStation 3 had only 10 games most of them downloads and most the time spent in the movie room playing blu-rays. The Xbox 360 on the other hand had an HD DVD add-on. Even though combined the 360 plus the add-on would make the world's cheapest HD DVD it was easy to convince parents that because Disney was on Blu-ray only that the PlayStation would be the system to sell. This whole studio exclusive thing between HD DVD and Blu-ray affected the balance of PlayStation 3 versus Xbox 360. If you like Universal movies HD DVD. Warner Bros play both sides of the fence with some HD DVD exclusives some Blu-ray exclusives and some dual releases. Everyone else chose Blu-ray. You should talk about how the movie industry affect the video game industry on that particular generation.

And I heard the difference between HD DVD and Blu-ray in terms of players old was literally the difference between PlayStation 3 systems and Xbox 360 HD DVD Add-ons sold, and that was the largest difference. PlayStation 3 was bought on the basis of it being a movie player as well as a game player. A lot of people bought the Xbox 360 early but didn't add on the HD DVD even though it was the cheapest option even if you bought the Xbox 360 exclusively for HD DVD abd played no games. But then again, in the game media formats, among multi console games, Xbox 360 was leading sales followed by Nintendo Wii and then Playstation 3.

@leonro Жыл бұрын
I don't think it was nearly as much of a factor. The Xbox 360 did "beat" the PS3, and it only turned around as revisions got it to be much cheaper, Sony had better exclusives coming out while Microsoft was messing around, and it didn't even manage to exceed the 360 until around mid 2014, at which point the next generation was already out.

I'd say the real reason the gba didn't sell as much as it could have is because it had a shorter lifespan than most systems. It came out in 2001 and only 4 years later you have the DS, which could also play gba games. If it had a lifespan comparable to the game boy until the game boy colour, the 3DS or even the DS itself it would have sold more
@kemalerdemsahin4103 жыл бұрын

Scott, PSP was way more amazing that you imagine at that time. Released in 2004, and being a portable multimedia system that could play movies, music, photos, access the internet, KZbin, and had PS2 quality games was something out of this world. Later revisions could also connect to the TV allowing you to use it almost like a Nintendo Switch more than 10 years before the Switch. It wasn't something people buy it just because they thought it was cool, it was the coolest portable thing at the time! Smartphones only started doing what PSP was able to do many years later. Even I that always preferred Nintendo systems and had a DS bought a PSP after seeing what it was capable of doing.

DS Lite at 93.86 million units. 7.66 oz. each 718,967,600 oz. total oz. to lbs. conversion= 44,935,475 lbs. 11,391,437.5 lbs. + 44,935,475 lbs. = 56,326,912.5 lbs. lbs. to tons conversion= 28,163.46 tons (rounded off to nearest decimal)

I legitimately discovered the internet using the online radio station app. I found out about Radio Hyrule (WZMR, at the time), Radio SEGA, and Radio Nintendo. I didn't play too many games on it, but recently, I've been starting to play and collect games for it. I grew up mostly playing on Nintendo DS with Pokémon. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon was what truly got me into gaming. I played the SNES, Genesis, and other consoles growing up but having the NDS changed my life for the better. This is such a great video, by the way! Keep up the fantastic work. Great idea to spit on your consoles to keep them from being stolen, especially in this day and age.

Something a lot of people don't realize is that the PSP sold a lot of units in markets where Sony did not have an official presence, or a smaller one. In a lot of third world countries, people bought the PSP because either it was cheaper than a regular console or as a secondary gaming device, the primary being a gaming PC. I played the heck out of my PSP. I modded it and used it as an all in one device for music and movies too. I remember converting episodes of South Park and playing them on the PSP while travelling. For me the PSP evokes a lot of nostalgia and I wish I could do some of this stuff on my Switch.

The PSP selling those numbers is pretty mind blowing. I didn't know anyone else who owned one, and only ever saw two people playing them in public. The only exception to that was when the workers from the carnival stayed at the hotel where I worked. They were all South African teenagers and they all had PSPs. I saw more PSPs in that one night than I've seen the rest of my life.

I would like to know how in the world Scott was given a tennis restraining order. Also, speaking of the PS2, servers for Final Fantasy XI didn't get shut down until 2016; 14 years after the initial release date. Because it could also do online, just not as well as XBox. And that's the official servers. I'm sure there are fan servers keeping FFXI alive on PS2 still.
