[@RarelyReplies]

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.

[@steelbear2063]

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?

[@melskunk]

Yeah as a kid I got 1 console for the 18 years of my childhood because of that feeling from my folks. Didn't upgrade to something modern until I'd moved out and had a job and in that time 3 generations had passed from the one they got me.

[@melskunk]

Everyone I knew with a PSP used it for movies, not games, and the only people I saw in public using one were watching video on it. While makes sense since phones wouldn't replace that until the 2010s. I was curious and decided to check and there were over 850 movies on it!

[@Oldass_Deadass_dumbass_channel]

@@steelbear2063 I'm pretty sure that argument only applies to playstation because Xbox is very fucking backwards compatible. Play fusion frenzy on a new Xbox is fucking maniacal levels of backwards compatible

[@MarioFromMario]

I think the GBA's "issue" was less that it didn't have a gimmick or hook, and more that the DS came out only 3 years into its lifespan and was backwards compatible. A lot of people, myself included, were still buying new GBA games but playing them on their DS instead.

[@ChromeColossus]

Exactly. Game Boy Advance did fantastically well and would have continued doing so if Nintendo DS hadn't arrived so soon afterward. I love Scott but I don't really take his retrospectives of stuff like this particularly seriously.

[@uknownada]

I was 10 when the DS came out, but it's so weird thinking about how the GBA was obsoleted in only 3 years. Even the GBASP was under two years old when the DS was released. 2001-2004 feels like an eternity when you're born in 1993.

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.

[@wattuh]

You can play ALL ps1 titles on your psp now because there is a website where you can basically download specifically made roms for the psp

[@CallMeVidd]

Idk man here in Europe everyone had a DS and to this day I have never seen a single psp irl

[@sylvy16]

The main reason the psp sold so well was because playstation catered internationally. Where i live, people don’t know who nintendo is, but playstation is incredibly popular. A ‘psp’ has basically become synonymous with portable gaming here. I wasn’t shocked to see how well it sold.

[@vague-description]

Nintendo's lack of presence in any country that isn't japan/us hurts my soul.

[@chl_ca]

@@CallMeVidd that’s because you’re from Western Europe the PSP (as well as later Sony and Microsoft consoles) was much more popular in Easter Europe than any Nintendo console ever was i know so many people in Poland (my country of origin) who had a PSP when it was still relevant, but nobody who had a DS (heck, almost nobody there has ever heard of the Wii) i’ve noticed that Nintendo has been getting some actual market share only since the release of the Switch, and even then the console (and most of its games, especially first party ones) aren’t available in Polish or any other Easter European language besides Russian your comment actually demonstrates the main issue with this video: Scott’s US-centric (but also heavily nostalgia based) point of view

[@crashbandicoot5636]

The PSP took Asia by storm imo. Here where I live, the only person I knew who bought a DS was my aunt. That was it. Every single one of my friends at the time had PSPs, we would always ad-hoc on the bus when on a field trip, passing each other's games, and even just watching other's play is so fun. It was amazing.

[@SuperHns]

even in Netherlands and rest of Europe bro,

[@antonioperezsanchez6910]

similar story here in mexico, everyone knew about the emulator ability and that was a major reason why lots of us had it. I think the psp sales being as big as they were is because of the emulation.

PSP was absolutely massive in Japan. In Japanese game stores, you'd have a whole wall of PSP games, and maybe a shelf or two of PS3 games. When I moved back to the US, I was shocked at how hard it was to find PSP games. Truly a tale of two different countries.

“How did the psp sell 80m units?” Japan, Scott.

[@mistersp3753]

The PSP actually sold fairly evenly between North America, Europe and Japan, sitting at roughly 24, 21 and 20 Million sold respectively. Of course, Japan has way less people, so from a per-capita basis 20 million is very impressive. Almost as impressive as the 15 million units sold outside if the big 3 regions. In short, the PSP sold relatively well in Japan, though it still trailed the DS.

And you could emulate GBA games perfectly on it, at a time when the GBA wasn't even that old of a console. That blew my mind. I primarily remember the PSP as an emulation box. Once I figured that out I didn't even care about the native library of games. You could load every NES, SNES and GB/GBC/GBA game worth playing onto a memory stick and have fun for months.

The PS2 had such an insane run. That thing was released in early 2000, and wasn't officially discontinued until late 2013, several months after the PS4 was released. It was out selling the PS3 despite the latter being a more powerful system. And the last online PS2 servers didn't get terminated until like 2015. That's just wild.

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.

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.

In many high schools if kids didn't have early phones they had psp's since you could play music, watch shows and movies, connect it to a TV or go on the internet. I know many people who had just because it was mp3 player that could also play the big name psp games as well as ps1 and ps mini games. The psp was just a ps1 with more ram and portable

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.

If my dad knew about the DVD support on PS2 back then, he would forget it plays GTA and make it a media player only.

@@light.jeremy01 I heard early that HD DVD players were outselling Blu-ray players, but HD DVD and Blu-ray video we're closer to each other. And both were niche formats until the Xbox 360 add on and the PlayStation 3. 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.

[@ashtar3876]

Can confirm. I got a ps3 from my dad's colleague because they didn't need it anymore, came with like 1 or 2 games and the rest was ALL blue ray's.

[@leonro]

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.

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

[@kemalerdemsahin410]

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 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.

[@Shaibuli]

I wholeheartedly agree. I think especially in the psp section of the video Scott struggles to keep his raging Nintendo fanboyness at bay.

"Hey y'all, Scott here. And today, I went to the Psychiatrist"

[@PKMNResearcherSkyler]

Yeah, being robbed for multiple episodes is making me worried for him

[@CorporalPig22]

I'm thinking it'll probably tie into the Halloween special.

[@futureddude4250]

I would not be surprised with scott

[@NAFProjects]

Theory: Scott is making a quote unquote "character arc", and he's spending a long time on the conclusion.

[@NAFProjects]

HOLY FUCK I WAS RIGHT

[@starwarsmaster]

First video in forever that did not start with “hey all Scott here” *I’m shaking.*

[@jons5756]

2 videos ago?

[@Ivan14XYU]

24:26 i can't believe scott just died again, shaking and crying rn

[@spizarro5577]

He might be dead. But still not buried

[@mr.enderman1993]

Man I hate when that happens. I died yesterday, and it was the worst!

[@captainsnake8515]

Canonically, death in the Scott the Woz universe is not permanent, and people can be treated for it.

[@superdajoka]

Calling it right now: Scott's gonna make a video called: "The Wii U: Underrated yet Underpowered"

[@ryleydoesthings7300]

He already did a video like that

[@carlycornman2344]

I can’t wait to see this on TV!!! Congrats Scott!!!

The PlayStation Portable was what got me into the online world. 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.

I didn’t have a phone or an iPod back in highschool in 2011-2015 so the only thing I had and used daily was my PSP. The music folders, video viewing, and games on the go was the absolute greatest time of my life.

[@googamp32]

The fact that so many of Scott's recent videos DON'T start with him saying his catchphrase is starting to perturb me. You think he's planning something?

[@zrader164]

As a retro gamer myself, this video gave me the biggest smile on my face from start to finish!

[@Gungan777]

Scott was probably the kid that you liked chilling in a class with but never ended up hanging out after school

[@psychie8625]

15:15 Fun fact: That's why Miyamoto regrets the GameCube the most out of all their home consoles.

[@Minty_Meeo]

I also watch Thomas Game Docs.

[@dragonslayer7724]

Shame, the GC had a lot of good games

[@Poever]

He should regret the Wii U more

[@psychie8625]

@@Poever The Wii U still tried to focus on something other than system power. It was terrible marketing that killed it.

[@JonSmith-hk1bq]

Sadly, Miyamoto had one last big moment with Wii Sports before his design philosophy became so narrow that he started to become a drag on Nintendo.

15 years later and one of my nunchucks started drifting. Rest easy my friend. You’ll be greatly missed. 2006-2021
