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.

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.

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.

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.

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
Out of all those consoles gba's sales are the most surprising one. When you look at the games of the gba majority of them are just ports from snes, collections or downgraded license games. It was basically a portable snes and even though sales are way better than i expected.

The original DS sold 18.79 million units. 9.7 oz. each 182,263,000 oz. total oz to lbs conversion= 11,391,437.5 lbs. 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 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.

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.

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.

PSP deserves way more credit. For it’s time it could play games like Monster Hunter Freedom Unite/Portable 3rd, Metal Gear Solid, GTA on the go. Most people like my family had 1 TV and having a PSP was a godsend. Also you could natively play PS1 games and emulate other consoles (NES, SNES, GBC, Sega Genesis, GBA ) well. The PSP came out in 2005 and was way ahead of its time. Even has small yet proud community working on homebrews and ports.

@@musicdude1540 Flashing a console is usually much more difficult at the beginning, now you don't need any game for it. The Wii and 3DS also share a similar story, where you had to have Zelda TP or some lego games, or for the 3DS cubic ninja or Zelda OOT 3D, but later on you can just use an SD card.
