    Everything wrong with this video that I've noticed:
    00:00-1:34 - nothing wrong so far, but could do with mentioning the Nintendo Playstation they were making.
    1:50 - "the [PS1] ran on a 32-bit microprocessor, a huge leap over the 16-bit processors of its predecessors". Technically correct, but it wasn't facing off against the SNES/Genesis era, it was facing off against the N64 (64 bit) and the Saturn Dreamcast (32 bit)
    1:56 - 2:05 Talking about the CD being cheaper than a cartridge - yes, AND it stored more memory, 650+ MG compared to 64 MB
    3:04 - "PS2 featured a DVD player and offered exclusive online play for madden football and tiger woods PGA tour" WHAT? The PS2 didnt even have a Ethernet port as standard. Online play was also available for Madden and PGA tour for the Xbox console. Maybe there was a year or 2 when it was only on the PS2? But it was a huge afterthought.
    5:29 - "The cell processor was too powerful for it's own good". Well no, it was just too complicated, not too powerful.
    Also between the PS3 release and PS4 release, I think your really need to talk about how Sony tuned the PS3 around from being the loser of that generation to, in the last 2-3 years, easily the best console somehow catching up with Microsoft and releasing some of the best games of that generation .
    6:47 - It expanded the online eco-system by offering games that are free to play through it's PS Plus subscription service...
    *sigh*
    No. That happened in 2010, not in the PS4 era. It's also a MS thing first.
    6:57 - It allowed cross-console play.
    No. Playstation was blocking this for years. In fact, during the PS3 era, they were the ones pushing cross-platform see: Portal 2, Final Fantasy XIV,. But during PS4 era it blocked it until the pressure got too great.
