After almost a full year, we’re finally done with our full look back on the PlayStation. Hopefully you enjoy, these kinds of videos are a LOT more work than normal stuff like Mystery Tech. Happy New Year!
0:00 false, you didn't buy 102 million PlayStation 1s, 160 million PlayStation 2s, 80 million PlayStation Portables, 87 million PlayStation 3s, 15 million PlayStation Vitas, 117 million PlayStation 4s, and 65 million PlayStation 5s.
It’s crazy I’ve been watching this since 6th grade for reviews I’m about to graduate highschool this next semester so many of these UA-camrs still around love your vids man
I fell asleep like three times, probably because I was tired of gaming prior to being here. But boy oh boy, what a video it is. Very informative and loooooooooonnng looooong video and I enjoyed it. BUTT, I own Xbox OneX 😅 so be waiting for Xbox series. Happy new year Austin, this was a nice start of the year. Thanks
0:00 youre missing the psx ( japanese ps2 with dvr), the playstation tv (the actual sony tv that had a built in ps2), and the pstv (the vita with no screen)
@@branberrycakes Same here, mainly to replay some games that did not get the remaster treatment, and also play those gems I missed during back then like Killzone,Resistance etc.
Excuse me, how long did it take you to reach this amount of subscribers? And if I work in video work without face and voice and the content of my video is about ASMR or introduction of popular videos, will I be able to grow quickly? And in general, what do you think I should do to grow very quickly, because I just started this work and I really need other people's experiences. Thank you for your guidance
Wow, this vid really seems to be underperforming for some reason. Just wanna say, this is legitimately a great video with a lot of effor put into it. Thank you for taking the time to really run through step by step their whole history
Love this so much. I’m an elder Millennial and have made the journey from PS1 to PS5 in the span of these thirty years. It’s wild growing up with it. It’s a mainstay in my life. The thirty year anniversary boot screen with the PS1 opening sound hits me in the feels. Thanks so much for doing this :)
I would really love to know what the viewer retention is for a 2+ hour video. I'm guessing around 1%. There's no way anyone is actually watching the whole thing.
i mean, the video is a compilation of all the previous Playstation videos he's made, so viewers don't need to watch the whole thing. maybe the vid's good for when you're working?
The PlayStation graphics wobble is because they didn’t have floating point hardware. That’s what Nintendo tried to market with the Nintendo 64. As for the PlayStation development, it didn’t seem “easy” to develop for because Sony didn’t want to give away much information to developers. Watch the Ars Technica video on crash bandicoot development from Andy Gavin. It’s really a great video.
The PS3 yellow light of death was caused by a design fault of the TMSC packaging process at the time, which affected the graphics chip in the original PS3. This same fault caused rampant problems with both Geforce 7X00 and 8X00 series Nvidia cards, along with ATI graphics failures in Apple macbooks at the time, as well as, most famously of all, the Xbox 360 red ring of death. From what I understand, when the silicon dies are being assembled into chips that can be soldered onto the device motherboard, TMSC used a kind of underfill to fill the space between the bumps where the solder points bond to the actual silicon chip to the chip substrate. Unfortunately, the underfill was not thermally compatible with the solder they used (they expanded and contracted at different rates) so repeated thermal cycles would actually physically break the connections between the silicone chip and the substrate. This is why extreme thermal cycles (wrapping your xbox360 in a towel, or baking your GPU) sometimes fixes this issue, as that can cause temporary contact between the chip and substrate again. But these were never permanant. To properly fix this, you need to replace the entire affected chip with something that wasn't affected by this issue. For the PS3, it was generally when they revamped it and started selling the slim models. This problem is so common, it is crazy that TMSC has gotten off scott free, while all the manufacturers using their chips paid a heavy heavy price ... as well as the countless end users who had hardware fail with no, or expensive, recourse available.
21:00 "They knew that consumers were right at the start of a major shift from analog media like VHS tapes to digital DVDs." In the west, especially in the US, yeah, but in Asia and Eastern Europe people were already using VCD. 24:30 Nah, the PS2's real threat was it's failure rate. By the time I was able to buy a PS2 in 2001, GameStop refused to sell it without a $100 5-year extended warranty that they would exchange your non-functional PS2 with a new one. I made use of that warranty twice in five years, once when the console overheated to death and once again when the disc tray refused to open. These were the original models of the PS2, not the slim! The tendency for Play Station consoles to overheat started in the original PS2. 28:50 The Xbox could also rip music CDs to the hard drive and let you play the tracks during _any game_ you were playing.
In a similar vein, I thought a co-worker was giving me a PS2 for my sin for Christmas and he ended up charging me retail prices for a used unit but I had already told my son so I was stuck
I remember seeing my friends PS1 whilst visiting him and that intro video for Teken. I was SOLD! I came back home and went and got my own one. Only PS I haven’t had is the PS2 as I was into PC and PSP during that time.
@GamingYoshi64 because subscriptions pop up in notifications and I add them to watch later, so when I get time, any channels I've subscribed to just play back to back when I go to my watch later queue. There's no way to tell if a video is 2 hours until it starts playing...
"I dislike PS3 Super Slim because it's so cutdown and cheap" Man, it is a love letter for us in South East Asia because we didn't have a powerful currency like you (except Singapore)
I worked at a GameCrazy in the suburbs of Chicago during the PS3 and Wii launches.... We had over 70 PS3 preorders, only received 5 of them. My dickbag manager took one for himself and we didn't get more for 3-4 weeks. God people were pissed. Then when they got them, they were desperately trying to convince themselves they were the best ever. So many people cancelled and bought 360s it was nuts
As someone who had both N64 and PS, at the same time, N64 was the one I played the most, by far. It was the one most of my friends wanted to play. It had the best games. And while PS did have success, I didn't buy another one until PS4 Pro, because PS controllers were garbage until the PS4. Yeah, I said it, garbage. Fight me. LOL jk jk. But seriously, garbage. I'm glad they finally made a couple good ones.
Lol I love how Sony did use to have this grudge, however, they have just been announced as the makers of The Legend of Zelda movie so it has come around.
I remember my original PS was won by my parents via a local radio station. Then when Christmas time 2001, they were originally going to get me a PS2 but they only had Xbox's and I'm so glad PS2s were still non existent
I love this video! I love the length. I love PlayStation, but my first systems were the OG Gameboy, the GBA, GameCube, Xbox, the OG PSP, the 360, then PS4, PS5 now this Pro. The PSP was great and I had a PS3 just to play MGS4 then sold it
Huh PS3, I didn't even buy one until right when they announced they were taken out PS2 hardware. So I bought one from a Sears for $600, and at a time took advantage of a deal to register it as a Blu-ray player to get five free movies mailed from Sony. Ironically for that first year I played more PS2 games on it. It wasn't until a year later after owning it that I bought my first PS3 game. Back then I was mostly on the Xbox 360 so I wasn't in a rush to get PS3 games.
You have no idea how long I wanted you to say your bias to the fat ps3 launch model. I own the super slim ps3 and its still in mint shape as it was when I bought it new over 10 years ago. It has been extremely reliable. Austin please us the button to open the top load drive. Sliding it open is not designed that way and can damage it. When you have it standing up sideways the sliding cover opens slowly which is a neat touch. I was not sure if you ever mentioned this or not in your prior videos. I just do not like the original backwards compatible PS3 due to them being unreliable.

PlayStation 6: Got room for one more?
Is this just the “I bought every PS…” video smashed together? Legitimately can’t tell if this is the case.
More of this. I love video game history. Brings back so many beloved memories. 🎮
Oh shit 😳 sizzling ✔️ it, actually worked 😂 Happy New Year, kid 🥳🎊🪅 12/31/24
Yeah, I love ❤ the videos. It's really good great job and Happy new year 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Makes me sad to see the Vita numbers.

Yeah , and now u in 8th grade 😀 lol
@@MightyCookie405 LOL
Im with you man.. i graduate may 29th. Sad stuff to see fr
So... those are 6 previous videos combined into one, correct?
The moment I complete watching this video, it'll be next year.
How is 2025? Im not done with the video yet
Yeah for me now lol
2:10:25 the nintendo switch and DS has massively outsold the ps4. they are both ~ 146 million units sold each
Great video!
Love how you can keep people captivated and watching throughout a 2+ hour UA-cam video!
Happy New Year to you, your family & the Overclock team Austin!
I honestly dont know how you're so good at talking. Keep it up man.
It's midnight new year and i watch this.
I’m lost on the fall part of PlayStation! You mean it keeps rising.
It’s more like a roller coaster. It goes up and goes down.
Lately it’s just been going down big dog
@@DealerFor that is true
@@allanelias26 yah I can see kinda if they make it where it can play ps3 physical games were set

I like these long videos from Austin him and his team does a great job making them
Watched the entire 2 hours, you did your research. Thank you Austin!
If you see this, you haven’t finished watching this video yet.
Haven't even started, I'm waiting for ads
MANTIS! literally what I thought after u scared the shit out of me 😂 happy new year!
Correct.
Yea, saw over 2 hours, I will watch bit by bit over a few days....
0:00 youre missing the psx ( japanese ps2 with dvr), the playstation tv (the actual sony tv that had a built in ps2), and the pstv (the vita with no screen)
Which is bizarre because they have a psx
The psx is featured in 33:42 and the pstv in 34:57
@dimitriosrasko9684 i was just talking about the intro lineup. They werent there.
Oh mb
Man, this video hit me right in the nostalgia.
I’m disappointed this video is not 3 hours long

I just want a new Infamous game honestly..
Concord and Fairgamedollarsign will have to do 😂
I literally re-bought a PS3 just so I can play Infamous 1&2, Resistance 1-3, and Killzone 2-3.

Hey Guys, this is Austin!
Is it now?
Love this so much. I’m an elder Millennial and have made the journey from PS1 to PS5 in the span of these thirty years. It’s wild growing up with it. It’s a mainstay in my life. The thirty year anniversary boot screen with the PS1 opening sound hits me in the feels. Thanks so much for doing this :)
Please can you give me the app laptop form your last video please I need it for school please 😢😢 I done have a laptop
You gonna do a series for all the companies?
great vid amazing quality 😁
With Vice City Stories as well as Liberty City Stories, we had plenty of GTAness for our PSPness.
Happy new year!
Can confirm, my family got a PS2 because it costed $10 more than a DVD player and was being bundled with the optional DVD remote for free
Great vid Austin! You should do one on Sega Saturn if you haven't already, would love to see it some day!
love your videos man , make more videos with Temu tech .
I would really love to know what the viewer retention is for a 2+ hour video. I'm guessing around 1%. There's no way anyone is actually watching the whole thing.
Most people, or at least me, just use it as background noise. Some videos I do sit and listen to it all
I did. It was good
i mean, the video is a compilation of all the previous Playstation videos he's made, so viewers don't need to watch the whole thing. maybe the vid's good for when you're working?

Can you make more videos like this?
my PS2 stopped reading games. took me about 30 min to replace the laser. Works fine now.
Honestly it’s should be the rise and fall of video game companies in general
Im glad somebody said it
Fr
I didn't realise this was going to be 2 hours long.
I will most likely have to watch in chunks
12:45 Thank you for the Feels Austin, just love hearing it.
1:27:28 PS3 super slim did have 250 and 500 GB model so i don’t know what are you yapping about.
Didn't he do this history of Playstation 3 times already? 😮

I think you meant to say Final Fantasy 8 for the PocketStation not Final Fantasy 7.
Ive owned every console in this video. Wish I still had them all. Back then it was very common to trade your old system in for the new one

what are some consoles that u wish that they still make and look up too
For your 2025 pc you should do a h6 flow build
Have to watch this later
1:27:30 bro how many times will you talk about super slim before knowing about 500GB HDD version of super slim
Now you gotta make the same video but with Xbox!
My dad had 3 original ps3's and all of them failed 😢
It's good to see that I'm not the only one who noticed...
Backwards Compatible PS3 is the ultimate console. 3 consoles in one package.
this video just told me my pstv is actually worth something now. I guess imma hold on to it.

Well technically Atari and Cleco vision was the first game console war even if it was short it did happen
Well done video! My favorite console is the PS3!
The xbox 360 was so good, no one needed an xbox one until the one x came out.

hello fbi here
Still have my launch Vita.
