My Grandma bought me a Dreamcast when it dropped. It was the first console I had brand new on launch day and I was the coolest kid on the block for about 6 months. Love you Grandma 🙏🏾 🕊
as a man in my early 50s and being a gamer since day 1 i find this very nostalgic and compelling I think its brilliantly done and researched and the showing of those old consoles mindblowing congrats to the people involved
I am 55 and still have my Atari 26 , bought new in 1978, my intellivision given to me as cristmas present 1981 (I think), and my Sega Genesis, bought in early 90's. I still get out the Genesis for my grandson to play when he comes to visit. Those were great systems. I still buy games occasionaly for them.
I'm 51, been at the same job for 20 years and I've never outgrown how much I've always loved to play a great video game. And over the decades I've had my mind blown away so many times by how much better and more powerful the newest systems always got. Super Nintendo blew me away. The original Playstation blew me away, PS2 rocked my world and I've been playing Wipeout ever since.The first time I played the Wipeout Omega Collection in VR on my PS4 Pro just might be the single most amazing gaming experience I've ever had. I can't wait to see just how far a leap forward the PS5 and PSVR2 turn out to be.
I'm an Atari 2600 kid, it was legendary in my eyes. I remember begging my dad for one but we didn't have a lot of money and, to be quite honest, he didn't really understand the whole game console idea. One day he came home with a giant box and inside it were two Atari 2600s and 53 games. To this day, 53 is still my lucky number. Apparently, my dad was at a garage sale in an affluent neighborhood looking for golf clubs and he found this box of goodies, which he bought for $10. The owner's son had gotten into big trouble and the dad was selling all his stuff to make a point...ouch. Needless to say, I became a very popular kid in the neighborhood. I remember seeing Super Mario on the NES for the first time and absolutely loosing my mind, it was a game changer. I was lucky that there were several other kids in my hood that were gamers as well so I got exposed to many of these systems: NES, SNES, Genesis, TurboGrafix 16, Neo Geo and many others. The one system that really stood out to me during this time was the Sega Genesis, I remember cutting yards so I could buy it, I was mesmerized by the Altered Beast commercial. I had countless hours of fun playing NBA Jam, Sonic the Hedgehog and Mortal Kombat (with blood!). When I went to college in the late 90s I lived in a 250 sq ft efficiency apartment and I ended up with a Sega Saturn, which I bought at a pawn shop. I ordered a modem that plugged into the top port (Toys R Us had to order it from Japan) and I got an adapter for the second controller port, which allowed me to use a keyboard. The web browser was a CD and I remember there was only one internet service provider in Houston at that time that would support the setup. I remember surfing the web in 97' on my Sega Saturn and playing chess on sites like Caissa. In my opinion, the Sega Saturn was the most revolutionary system of all time. Later on, I used to buy used Dreamcasts from flea markets, fix them, and repackage them with games and controllers (anyone that knows the boot loader trick knows what I am talking about right now), which helped subsidize the income of a poor college student. Then of course, the original XBOX and Halo, a truly great time in my life. I remember countless LAN parties at my house, my friends bringing their own TV with them in the backs of the hoopties. Good times. I took a long break from gaming but I got back in a few years ago with the XBOX One S and I only play Call of Duty these days. Truly great times in my life were spent with good friends around a console. I appreciate the ability to network with anyone in the world in an instant but it's just not the same as crushing your friend in Tecmo Super Bowl and watching his face in real-time. Long live the game console!
When I was in middle school, my mom surprised my little brother and I with an Atari 2600 - well, really the Sears branded version of it - and it was quite amazing and remarkable. After watching this, there are SO MANY other directions she could have gone in the late 70s - I am impressed she chose that one. We loved it
What happened to the Sega Dreamcast was tragic. I had one. It was a great system. The graphics were smooth, unlike previous systems where they were a bit choppy. And it had some good games. It was just too little too late.
It’s lack of dvd rom drive and the inclusion of one in a PS2 was the end of it. They sold well before the PS2 announced that and especially before the PS2 shipped.
So I'm not the only one that suffered through Death Stranding's ending? Even mentioning it on Reddit summons a tsunami of pretentious "you don't get it, it's art!" comments.
Nice video with many exotic consoles that were previously unknown to me. The video is now 3 years old. 3 years ago the Switch game library was still under construction. Today I would rank the switch higher, as it currently offers the best overall package of retro gaming, indie titles and exclusive games for me.
@@MrNeosantanadidn't it beat it already? Or it beat the Wii sales number? EDIT: Nope, but it did beat the Wii, the Gameboy, the PS1 and PS4. it's really close to the DS numbers
@@melpmaz7041 it's gotten so successful that there's a rumor that Nintendo delayed the successor to 2025 just so they can get the Switch's ultimate victory
These long videos must take an absolute ton of work to complete, god my head hurts just thinking about the VO recording and editing itself (not to mention the actual video edit and compiling all this footage). You two (and those working behind the scenes) are just incredible at getting this stuff done. Congrats on an incredible year at Triple Jump, it’s been a pleasure to go along for the ride with you. Keep up the amazing work boys.
@@ryansmith-jr4gn I'm thinking he missed the word console and thought they had somehow ranked every game? It's the only explanation I can come up with for his idiocy.
@@kalvenzander4710 this man put the Sega Pico an educational consoles over the Neo Geo which plays some of the greatest arcade games ever and the Xbox One☠️ ☠️ ☠️
My top 5 in no order NES, Sega Genesis, SNES, Playstation one, Playstation 2, I have a feeling the next generation consoles may replace one of the above Game On Peeps!
I remember being 11 years old in 1991 and going to a “rich relatives” house one night and they had a Neo Geo. Everyone was blown away by it and he had to brag about the cost.
I'm was 10 yrs old in 1991. I remember I would have done anything to have the arcade on my tv. Street Fighter 2 was my fave game but wasn't on the NeoGeo. I dribble at the look of games like Art of Fighting, King of Fighters and Samurai Showdown! I think I heard the games were about 200 each 🤷🏽♂️
The thing about neo geo was the weight of the game cartridges! Could knock a horse out with one! Lol. Nothing more awesome than playing a arcade version of metal slug at home or king of fighters! Never could afford one but a buddy had one and circuit city had their playable ones up!
The Switch, though for me, might take over the Super Nintendo as my all time favorite console. The sheer variety of first party exclusives, indie titles, third party AAA ports and classic/retro games with the ability to play them anywhere make it quite the enjoyable console.
If they made ebery snes gsme available on switch and made some controllers for it like they did nes then it would be forced to pass the snes as best for me. But the only reason it would would be because of the snes. So when you consider it it would still be the snes
That's how it usually goes when an industry is establishing itself. Like with phones, cameras, cars, etc, there will be so many companies putting out products at first to claw at the market share, but decades later it'll be down to a select number of companies for each niche of the market.
To show your dedication to the PS2 you should do “Every PS2 Game Ever Ranked”. The video would be at the very least 5 hours long but it would be a feat one has ever truly accomplished
Figuring an average of 30 seconds per entry (for reference, just to go back and get the total of roughly 4500 games I timed the XBox 360 at roughly 1 minute 20 seconds) it'd be closer to 35 hours.
PS2 had a lot of cross platform stuff that were the inferior versions to the more powerful XBox and Gamecube versions. So just stick to exclusives, I think my favorite exclusive for PS2 which has since been made for other consoles in future generations was Okami. It was at the time, Sony's answer to Zelda and it was awesome.
I had one. Paid less than £80 for it and had around 50 odd games. Quake 3 Arena, Crazy Taxi, Soul Caliber and Sonic were all favourites. Even had the gun so I could play House of the Dead as well
I remember when ps2 came out, i had the dreamcast at the time although i was very impressed with gta3 when i did buy one i didn't think it was graphically a better machine. Infact i remember thinking this down right sucks compared with dc
Yeah it gives a lot of us a greater understanding of the collapse of gaming in 1983 and why so many thought of video games as nothing more than gimmicks, because most of them were
Like fairchild channel F, probably the earliest example of companies that didn't do video games, just doing video games (besides Nintendo, which I THINK was a playing card company at the time, making a pong machine). Fairchild made Semiconductors and chips and then they just made this console out of nowhere.
@ladawg81 what about the console that had so many crappy games that cause the game industry failure...the Atari 2600 and the infamous et game and Pac man game......they got greedy and make too many me too games....
I can't believe that I sat through almost 2 hours of video to finally hear the #1 spot that I could have already told you before the video even started... PS2! I still have mine and I still play it! What a great console!
@@michaeljahrling5805 Next to that I'd have to say the SNES, I still have mine with about a dozen games. I'm only missing about 4 for that collection. As for the PS2 another reason it is great is I can also play all of my PS1 games such as FFVII, FFVII, FFIX, FF Tactics, Star Ocean, Legend of Dragoon, Castle Vania: Symphony of the Night, Battle Ogre, Diablo, Parasite Eve 1 & 2, Resident Evil 1 & 2, Tony Hawk 3, Cool Boarders 3 or 4, Intelligent Cube, and a few others great titles!!! I also have about 20 - 30 PS2 Games: Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII, Star Ocean, LOTR 1,2,3 & Third Age, Castle Vania, Gauntlet, Kingdom Hearts 1&2, Ultimate Alliance, God of War 1 & 2, Guitar Hero 2,3 World Tour, & Metallica, Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill games, Okami, a handful of Madden Games, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, several Tony Hawk games, Sega's Sonic Collection, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (Online gameplay was great, 90% reason why I played it, it's still a fun game to play offline), 007, Black, Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2, The Suffering 1&2, Siren, Trapt, Risk, World Series of Poker, and a few others...
I actually really liked the sega Saturn 🪐 The system didn’t have a lot of depth to it in terms of games but it felt like a pioneer of next generation gaming at the time. Playing virtual fighter on that 3D resolution was a new experience for me as a kid and it set the stage for much more polished systems to come. To this day I still whip out the Saturn sometimes
Saturn is one of the few consoles I never had. I had genesis and then ps1. I never even seen a Saturn in person until a couple years after I got my playstation. With that said I was fairly impressed by it once I seen it. I only remember they had the original tomb raider which i owned on ps1 but i realized even then that the Saturn had been a pioneer to that era of gaming.
The Saturn is actually a pretty interesting console that back then I passed upon for the PlayStation, but over the years now I’ve seen that it was actually a very good console, but only if you look at its Japanese library which had some cracking title, such as radiant silver gun
@@Adamtendo_player_1 I had a lot of good memories with Saturn. As a kid it was pretty revolutionary to see a system tap in to 3D tech when I was used to 2D Nintendo.
The Saturn actually had far more depth than people realised or gave it credit for, because unfortunately most kids and people dismissed it in favour of the PS1, often without ever playing on one. I've always much preferred it to the PS1 (in fact, it's still my favourite machine ever). The console had better all round 3D and 2D, and when the machine was pushed to its capability, it was at least the equal of the PS, or even better (Panzer Dragoon Saga/Zwei, Nights, Virtua Fighter 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, Sega Rally were incredible looking, let alone playing). Great RPGs, arcade conversions, first person shooters, fighting games galore, I love it. Don't get me wrong, I've got into the PSX a bit more in recent years, but lists like this often seem to cater to public opinion/popularity (I cannot understand how the PS3 is rated as the third best machine ever). Then again, it's subjective, so each to their own. What I love is that the retro scene is getting some wonderful support nowadays.
I guess it's hard to assess the "failure" of the XBox One... I'm a Sony fan myself and was going for the PS4 at launch, it's library being the main reason... Except for Cuphead, I realky don't find XBox exclusives appealing tbh... I don't say the same for the two previous Xbox consoles, great in their own right... But consoles sell on their exclusives and XBox just didn't cut it for me
@@Petu1987 personally I've always been introverted and I don't have many freinds, the xbox live is what had me sold. You can't get the same amazing online experience with pns. Iv'e made genuine friends doing what I love, and I still stand by the xbox1 as being the better console. tl;dr - most ps4 exclusives are single player, I don't like that
idk i play my xbox every day and have 45 days and 16 hours on forza horizon 4 which is 1096 hours and with forza horizon 3 with 1262 hours forza my favorite racing game that i play daily and halo 5 was cool with its random multiplayer fun the reason i dont play halo that much is mostly because no fov slider but the ui is so good with costomization and its never had issues
I love that it ended up being super higher up in the list, beating the xbox one even was unexpected lol. Wii U had a lot of good games with high metacritic score so I'm sure that helped
Pretty sure it didn't sell well because they didn't explain wth it was, nobody understood it was a new console and not some kind of product/addon for the Wii.
The 360 is what really solidified my presence in gaming, and it introduced me to some of my favorite games and franchises. I remember spending my whole weekends at my friends house so we could play xbox before my family had enough money to afford one.
360 was my first dive into online gaming and I remember it mostly for that. However, it was also the only console that ever died on me (2 times due to the red ring of death).
Obviously haven't watched it yet, but just wanted to thank James for his immense effort editing the ridiculously long video! Now, back to work dic...wait, that's not right...
I was always a SEGA kid. Everything SEGA that came out I thought was just the greatest thing. I wanted the 32X sooo bad!! Bugged my mom, did chores, got a DAMN JOB at 11 yrs old. Finally got my 32X and this is when I learned life kinda sucks sometimes!! Thanks SEGA!!!
Yes! Disappoinment extreme! I was 18 and poor. Worked and saved and got one. Returned it since it sucked.......20some years later as a collector; I wish I had kept it (garbage upgrade or not).
Fantastic video. I am beyond lucky to have grown up in the best age of gaming. I cut my teeth on the Master System and it will always be my favorite. Sure other later systems were supior but the emotional side, playing the Master System with my older sister, sitting on a water bed and staring at the lava lamp will never be replicated. Great video, much respect.
@@eclipse_ed_32 40+ years old created youtube back when we were still 20 something years old... My first system was an Atari 2600 and I have an Xbox S and a massively powerful computer system. Us 40+ people are the reason gaming is a thing and youtube!
Still remember playing Halo2 online for over 10 hours the day they shut down the servers. There were people still playing it a week later. Goodness that game had an impact. We ended up playing through halo 2 and ODST all day before we jumped into Halo 2 multiplayer online.
When I relay what I've learned from this channel I say "I was watching a documentary " hope its ok and thanks for the best channel ever 😀 you guys(and gals) are truly gaming legends
Hot Damn that was a ride. I'm 52 and have been loving games for, well....ever. I've been there for most of these releases, and it was a joy to take a ride through this iconic list. I couldn't agree more with the PS2 taking out #1. I'm a collector and have dozens of ps2 console, plus hundreds upon hundreds of games for it. But I'm also a gamer, and it is still my mist played console today. **although the Switch is challenging since discovering Steam World Dig. Great work, team.
I’m halfway through and I had to stop and thank you for the effort you put into making this list. This isn’t just a list video, it’s a collection of video game history. I’m learning so much about something I engage with every day. You’ve done well boys AND GIRLS, cheers.
Don’t thank me you fucking asshole. Just enjoy the video jerkoff. No offense. That’s just how we talk we’re on from you piece of human garbage. God bless buddy!
I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. I'd put much higher weight on historical importance. As such my top 7 would have included the Atari 2600, the NES, and the Super NES. Without these three consoles, videogames may not have become a central part of so many homes. Your video is well-made and worth a watch btw.
Absolutely agree! Also in that spirit Sega Genesis/MegaDrive (Sega's Best!) and ColecoVision (First time we really thought we'd brought the arcade home) should both be higher.
Congratulations,on a list that,as long and,as comprehensive as it was,you presented beautifully.,even for myself,who was never a big gamer (I began watching,merely to see where some of the better known models placed,on the list). (Also,nice to see the old Intellivision brought up,along the way) Well done,and,beautifully presented with such good humour,throughout...it certainly,didn't SEEM like 1:45 in length,and,I mean that as nothing but a compliment.
The fact that this has over a million views makes me so happy. So much love, time, effort and attention to detail was put into it, it deserves all the views.
PS2, 3, and 4 all carried me through my childhood. I love the PlayStation’s to death and all of them made the top ten...really shows you how they have consistently hit it out of the park with everything aside from the Vita and the Move
The Vita is good though, sadly they marketed it with the whole mobile thingiemajig, and also the fact that smartphones where a thing at the point, so only people like me who dont want a smartphone would buy it >_
@@301cal It's an obscure, bizarre word. It's doubtful many people outside of old school gamers or Cabbage Patch Kids collectors would know the pronunciation.
There is no answer for number 1 other than the PS2. It wasn't even mentioned two of the biggest features: backwards compatibility for PS1 games :o, and the ability to play DVDs which may not sound like a big deal but DVD players at the time were insanely expensive.
Enes Akbulut exactly theres so much good to work with but it’s underutilized. If it had virtual console games again and more complex online interaction and UI it could be perfect
A3JT may be right. Even though themes (and other features listed above) aren't available yet, that won't mean they won't be released at all. I mean, updates and games do take a lot of time to complete. Imagine what workload gaming companies have. Not only that, but pressure and stress is also prevalent in the gaming industry. And I mean, risks that fail can stuff up the console/game. Ok, so to summarize the waffling, stuff takes time to complete.
Not only that the Switch is popular. And it's not like Nintendo is gonna release another console in the next 3 years like it's previous consoles. They said they'll curb that tradition this gen. Just thought I'd put that in.
Really short changed the NES. Single handedly rebuilt the industry, and spawned many beloved videogame series. Should have placed at least above the original Xbox.
And the original XBOX should have been above the 360, god that was a piece of shit. Ofc I belong to the PC master race, so maybe my opinions are a bit slanted.
I really don't think it did anything different. Just was one if the only options. Then they got a 2 year research period in Japan before coming to it's biggest market in the the US. That simply could be done like that outside of the 80's. So while it was great no other console could have tested millions of units in the wild before then sending it to a major market.
And if they're going off sales almost every nes had been thru like 3 or 4 yards ales at this point so sales are way higher. The toaster should have been top 3
Ok I started gaming when the NES was new and hip but even I admit it really had no competition to speak of so what it did back then wasn't as huge as some people think....I know I was there.
IMHO #1 Sega Model 1 and 2,... #2 SNES #3 Tie between Ps2 and N64. ... The NES had many good games,.. but some of the worsed ever, rivalling ET MANY Times over.
One other benefit the PS2 had, in my opinion (not backed by any data) was that it was the first mainstream console that could also be used to watch movies, as a DVD player. It even had a fully-equipped first-party remote control available for it. This came at a time when DVD players were still relatively new and expensive, and the fact that the PS2 had the ability to play DVDs while also allowing you to play games (especially given its almost full backward-compatibility with PS1 games) was the biggest reason I decided to take the plunge and buy my PS2 even before there were any compelling games made specifically for it.
This was an incredible history lesson in game consoles-so very well done! I had a Coleco(pronounced ColEcovision among my group), and it had some great games and a lot of great memories. I think even without the game crash, the 800 pound gorilla called the NES I think would have still had its domination, I don't think anything was beating that (and yes I was a Sega fan growing up lol)
Was thinking the same thing, Kevin. For every dime a dozen pong clone, there were several engineers, developers, artists pouring their hearts into at least trying to make something people loved. Except for anything Philips, they were always trying to just make a quick buck it seemed.
You missed an interesting detail about the Creativision console: a hardware expansion made it possible to play all Colecovision games on it, thus expanding its library considerably; in addition to this, it was possible to connect the Colecovision converter to it, thus playing all Atari 2600 games. As a consequence, though its own games were few, the Creativision was, for a certain number of years, the console with the potentially highest number of games on the market.
My buddy Ryan had a Socrates when we were in grade school, that controller/keyboard interface was so confusing at first, but I remember actually enjoying playing it after a while
I am a big fan of your channel, and I am honored that you guys used a shot from one of my videos on 1:04:50 Keep up the good work people, this channel rocks !
Videosmarts!! You just unlocked a very dusty childhood memory but as soon as I saw the bear I yelled “teachin’ Teddy!” Also, I feel like the console knew if I got the correct answer because I remember the red caterpillar lighting up with a buzzer sound if I was wrong and the green lighting up with a bell sound if I was correct; but you’re correct that the tape continued playing just the same either way. Thanks for reminding me of one of my favorite childhood toys!
Wait 3 lunch breaks? Is this over the course of 3 days or 1 day. Sure 3 breaks but 3 lunch breaks? Who needs 3 lunch breaks for one day. Must be alot of over weight people working there

@@unlovableshinshin "it wasn't even that much" it definitely was at the time. This is the era where the economy was getting back onto its feet and people were still picky on what to buy. Also, comparing the price to next gen which is much more advanced in hardware should speak volumes on how overpriced the ps3 was at the time.
Jay WalkZ it cost Sony $800 to manufacture each console, them selling it at $600 is still loosing money. The PS3 was much more powerful than the Xbox 360, that’s why it cost more than the 360
SEGA Mega Drive deserves the top 10 spot, it’s library was very unique and offered a mature approach to gaming, it had a profound effect on the industry
The Mega Drive is my second favourite console after the PS2 that’s for sure, it’s very dear to me with Streets of Rage 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Ristar, Rocket Knight Adventures, Street Fighter 2, the list goes on.
I think Dark Wizard on Sega CD was a very unique game and one of my all time games. I think Genesis not being in the top 10 sounds wrong, Sega Genesis was such a good console.
I don’t agree with the Mega Drive not being in the top 10 but I can understand why as the SNES is more highly regarded and because of the Mega Drive’s undeserving reputation for bad audio.
I played Genesis quite a lot as a kid, though never owned one till recently, it has some really banger games even outside the more well known ones, Crossfire, Super Monaco GP, and Roadrash probably being my current top 3.
Which i personally discovered whole 3 years after i bought the console when i hit it by mistake and rotated. I thought i broken it but then i realized the damn thing actually rotated and i was mouth opened at how great it was and my own ignorance that i just had realized it could do that.
@@JoeCoffee9476 No it wouldn't ruin it. PS2 was actually made so it could work sideways as well. There are even stands you can buy so you can use it standing up on it's side. I knew that but i haven't thought they would even made the Playstation logo rotate so it can look straight when used standing. So when i discovered it i was surprised i never realised.
Buy it wasn't priced fairly at all. It was goddamn expensive. Even after the first price drop, wich was Almost a third of the release price. I still have 2 of em...
@@AdamTopCommenter i was just thinking this. my little brother got us one when i was a teenager. guitar hero was cool, but i just never felt that "x-factor", you know?
Spot 51, the Vtech Smile was probably my first games console. I have found memories of it, when it worked. At least for the games I had the gameplay was repetitive (I’d have been about 5 at the time) and later on it would struggle to load and kept crashing
What a brilliant video and list. I never heard of most of these consoles and it was very interesting to hear about so many of them that faded into obscurity. Also, brilliant and witty narration.
Being there from the very beginning of the home console wars, with the Atari 2600 as my first real 'Home Video Game' this ranking was not only fun to watch but touch basis with items I don't remember ever existed.. Well Done!!!! and thanks for the stroll down video lane....
The V-Tech Vsmile was my first ever console, when I was a really little kid. Pretty sure it helped foster a lifelong love for video games in me lol. IIRC, because the controller had a hand-shaped part on the side, there was also a version of the controller for left-handed children.
I had a VFlash which I loved growing up. The remotes could be popped up and turned to make them left handed. I wasnt even left handed but I would play that way just for the challenge
I had fallen asleep with this playing in the background and that part was so grating on my sleeping mind, that I woke up, fully alert from the very first mispronunciation.
Watched the whole video and started really flashbacking in the higher spots. From my childhood faves of Atari 2600, nes, and snes, through teen years of ps1 and n64, to my faves as adult ps2, 3, and 4. Great list! Totally agree with the vast majority of it!
Dreamcast? No. Genesis? Absolutely. A lot of Dreamcast games were rushed a sloppy. People remember it fondly for the huge jump in graphical fidelity and the romanticism of a lost cause. That said, putting Xbox OG and 360 above Genesis is nuts. 360 as number 2? You gotta be kidding me. Most of the best games were released on PS3 at the same time. It barely had any exclusives. As far as systems go it's extremely forgettable.
@@sonnington1035 Maybe because you're not into fighting games: Dreamcast was pretty much the first home console to have arcade perfect convertions of huge arcade franchises (Most Notably: Street Fighter (2/3/Alpha), King of Fighters, MvC, SvC, Mortal Kombat, etc.), which by the time , considering most of these entrances were not featured in PS2 anthologies/collections for at least 5 years later (Some didnt ever had any PS2 port), was (and in some cases still is to this day) the best option to play arcade fighters at home for a reasonable price (unlike buffed pricy Neo-Geo from early 90s). That alone make DC a console that has aged way better than OG Xbox and GameCube, that either have'nt had many reasons to differentiate themselves from another options from the market (mainly PS2) neither give you a solid reason to play them today except good 1st party games, which DC also had as well. The same goes for Genesis considering it was the best option for an arcade oriented console for that era, while SNES was more suitable for home oriented genres, such as RPGs. Their rivalry was mainly famous due to the fact that each console had kind of a different niche and capabilities, almost as if they complemented each other. Overall, I got the impression the list based its position too much on US market success(hence the X360 being so high)
@@sonnington1035 yeah I always saw the 360 as a system remembered quite negatively by the gaming community. It's infamous for sh:tting out with the red ring of death. Yeah many people liked games on it but a LOT of people were fed up by how it was rushed. I think Microsoft kinda screwed up big time with that system so I think they're just looking at sales and that's just kind of a dumb way to oversimplify the topic. Edit: I suppose the switch hadn't sold over 100mil when this video was made though so I guess I kinda get it.
@@andrealves3104 exactly, that's my main takeaway too - they way oversimplified everything down to sales. It's the laziest way to approach this topic. I get reducing long forgotten systems down to sales but with ones that are very fresh in the public consciousness I think more nuanced discussion should've been had past "oh this one sold a lot" - and then they didn't even fully use that metric because the Nintendo switch has sold far more than most of the systems that came after it.
When I die my head will rest on my SNES instead of a pillow in my coffin. It's brown and yellow and covered in permanent stains and it rattles oddly when I move it, but I still play Super Metroid and will continue to do so as long as I draw breath on this earth.
@@OldSilentHill8 Well the SNES at least was the best selling console of it's generation, but the PS3 really is as mystery. It was outsold by the Wii and barely managed to sell a few units more than 360 by the end while the PS4 sold a lot more and is the king of it's generation as well so the whole thing makes little sense.
The only good thing about the Action Max is that the console's bootup/startup sequence is actually really cool and stylish. The synth jingle mixed with the visual sequence playing on the found-typography of the logo, with VHS film in the background and a chrome sheen on everything, are a good match. Shame it had to be the intro to that console in particular.
@@Fygee yeah by now....but proably not when it first came out I don't think....no one bought it ..it cost like double or 3 x what nintendo or Sega did.
@@popeyejones9256 It was definitely the rich people console, so sales numbers were a lot lower. It was, however, still well known and fairly popular in the early 90s thanks to their presence in arcades. You could also rent the console from Blockbuster back in the day.
Peter regularly does this...at first I thought :England, but he seems to make them up as he encounters them. For instance, "Ball-ee" instead of "Bail-ee" for Bally...lots of other examples in other videos. Pretty sure it's just him, not the common usage...(However, both companies naming history suggests that he might be right in his "interpretation", none the less, where I've lived (western US/Canada) he would have gotten strange looks and laughs for it...)
Taken in the context of when the hardware was released and the technology at the time I can’t think of any reasonable argument that would rank the original Xbox above the NES
I came here to say the same thing. I thought the NES would be top five for sure due to it saving the entire industry in the west, and seeing the original XBox right after it made me literally go "WHAT??!" at my phone. lol
It had revolutionary graphics for the time. If you played Ninja Gaiden at launch you would be blown away. Had a more consistent catalogue of games than the NES but it just wasn't as important so I don't see it being ranked above
You are right, but There’s a lot of rabid Xbox fans who would go crazy with the dislikes and toxic comments, which the narrators acknowledged with a few quips at various points.
@@makasete30 Thats an idiotic rationale for him to place the xbox so high, just so viewers won't complain? Thats the dumbest reason ever. That completely destroys his credibility as a critic.

I am 55 and still have my Atari 26 , bought new in 1978, my intellivision given to me as cristmas present 1981 (I think), and my Sega Genesis, bought in early 90's. I still get out the Genesis for my grandson to play when he comes to visit. Those were great systems. I still buy games occasionaly for them.
Yay PS2 'won' .... not
I'm 51, been at the same job for 20 years and I've never outgrown how much I've always loved to play a great video game. And over the decades I've had my mind blown away so many times by how much better and more powerful the newest systems always got. Super Nintendo blew me away. The original Playstation blew me away, PS2 rocked my world and I've been playing Wipeout ever since.The first time I played the Wipeout Omega Collection in VR on my PS4 Pro just might be the single most amazing gaming experience I've ever had. I can't wait to see just how far a leap forward the PS5 and PSVR2 turn out to be.
David Sapir what are the chances of someone out growing video games
@@professortubby23 For me...zero.
I'm an Atari 2600 kid, it was legendary in my eyes. I remember begging my dad for one but we didn't have a lot of money and, to be quite honest, he didn't really understand the whole game console idea. One day he came home with a giant box and inside it were two Atari 2600s and 53 games. To this day, 53 is still my lucky number. Apparently, my dad was at a garage sale in an affluent neighborhood looking for golf clubs and he found this box of goodies, which he bought for $10. The owner's son had gotten into big trouble and the dad was selling all his stuff to make a point...ouch. Needless to say, I became a very popular kid in the neighborhood. I remember seeing Super Mario on the NES for the first time and absolutely loosing my mind, it was a game changer. I was lucky that there were several other kids in my hood that were gamers as well so I got exposed to many of these systems: NES, SNES, Genesis, TurboGrafix 16, Neo Geo and many others. The one system that really stood out to me during this time was the Sega Genesis, I remember cutting yards so I could buy it, I was mesmerized by the Altered Beast commercial. I had countless hours of fun playing NBA Jam, Sonic the Hedgehog and Mortal Kombat (with blood!).
When I went to college in the late 90s I lived in a 250 sq ft efficiency apartment and I ended up with a Sega Saturn, which I bought at a pawn shop. I ordered a modem that plugged into the top port (Toys R Us had to order it from Japan) and I got an adapter for the second controller port, which allowed me to use a keyboard. The web browser was a CD and I remember there was only one internet service provider in Houston at that time that would support the setup. I remember surfing the web in 97' on my Sega Saturn and playing chess on sites like Caissa. In my opinion, the Sega Saturn was the most revolutionary system of all time. Later on, I used to buy used Dreamcasts from flea markets, fix them, and repackage them with games and controllers (anyone that knows the boot loader trick knows what I am talking about right now), which helped subsidize the income of a poor college student. Then of course, the original XBOX and Halo, a truly great time in my life. I remember countless LAN parties at my house, my friends bringing their own TV with them in the backs of the hoopties. Good times. I took a long break from gaming but I got back in a few years ago with the XBOX One S and I only play Call of Duty these days.
Truly great times in my life were spent with good friends around a console. I appreciate the ability to network with anyone in the world in an instant but it's just not the same as crushing your friend in Tecmo Super Bowl and watching his face in real-time. Long live the game console!
When I was in middle school, my mom surprised my little brother and I with an Atari 2600 - well, really the Sears branded version of it - and it was quite amazing and remarkable. After watching this, there are SO MANY other directions she could have gone in the late 70s - I am impressed she chose that one. We loved it
What happened to the Sega Dreamcast was tragic. I had one. It was a great system. The graphics were smooth, unlike previous systems where they were a bit choppy. And it had some good games. It was just too little too late.
It was too little too early imo.
I loved the system but once I got the ps2 it was basically obsolete
It’s lack of dvd rom drive and the inclusion of one in a PS2 was the end of it. They sold well before the PS2 announced that and especially before the PS2 shipped.
Same story as the sega master system. There were those who thought thier nes was the best. And those who knew thier master system was the best

The video is now 3 years old. 3 years ago the Switch game library was still under construction.

Today, the Switch is nipping at the PS2's heels for the number one spot. It can very well beat it.

I remember being 11 years old in 1991 and going to a “rich relatives” house one night and they had a Neo Geo. Everyone was blown away by it and he had to brag about the cost.
I'm was 10 yrs old in 1991. I remember I would have done anything to have the arcade on my tv. Street Fighter 2 was my fave game but wasn't on the NeoGeo. I dribble at the look of games like Art of Fighting, King of Fighters and Samurai Showdown! I think I heard the games were about 200 each 🤷🏽♂️

The thing about neo geo was the weight of the game cartridges! Could knock a horse out with one! Lol. Nothing more awesome than playing a arcade version of metal slug at home or king of fighters! Never could afford one but a buddy had one and circuit city had their playable ones up!
I have to admit that some of the most fun I ever had gaming was on the Sega Genesis. So many good games and good multi-player titles.
The Switch, though for me, might take over the Super Nintendo as my all time favorite console. The sheer variety of first party exclusives, indie titles, third party AAA ports and classic/retro games with the ability to play them anywhere make it quite the enjoyable console.
Switch like my 4th. You cant even send invitations. And the joycons booty. Besides thats its amazing
Lol.
Switch might make my top 5 consoles if they release a Pro with better controllers and a better dock. Plus better hardware
I don't think the switch will replace snes as 1, snes is 1 and I'm not sure where switch ranks for me. But I do love it
If they made ebery snes gsme available on switch and made some controllers for it like they did nes then it would be forced to pass the snes as best for me. But the only reason it would would be because of the snes. So when you consider it it would still be the snes

To show your dedication to the PS2 you should do “Every PS2 Game Ever Ranked”. The video would be at the very least 5 hours long but it would be a feat one has ever truly accomplished
Figuring an average of 30 seconds per entry (for reference, just to go back and get the total of roughly 4500 games I timed the XBox 360 at roughly 1 minute 20 seconds) it'd be closer to 35 hours.
Jeff Carbone Even better
PS2 had a lot of cross platform stuff that were the inferior versions to the more powerful XBox and Gamecube versions. So just stick to exclusives, I think my favorite exclusive for PS2 which has since been made for other consoles in future generations was Okami. It was at the time, Sony's answer to Zelda and it was awesome.

So many obscure console I've never heard of before in this video.
As somebody who watches a hecking amount of Fact Hunt, I'm ready to still be surprised.
Yeah it gives a lot of us a greater understanding of the collapse of gaming in 1983 and why so many thought of video games as nothing more than gimmicks, because most of them were
Like fairchild channel F, probably the earliest example of companies that didn't do video games, just doing video games (besides Nintendo, which I THINK was a playing card company at the time, making a pong machine). Fairchild made Semiconductors and chips and then they just made this console out of nowhere.
@ladawg81 what about the console that had so many crappy games that cause the game industry failure...the Atari 2600 and the infamous et game and Pac man game......they got greedy and make too many me too games....

I have my PS2 and my silver PS2 Slim, wouldn’t ever get rid of them, part of history.
Spoilers, neat! Guess ill just die now. Thanks
I actually really liked the sega Saturn 🪐
The system didn’t have a lot of depth to it in terms of games but it felt like a pioneer of next generation gaming at the time.
Playing virtual fighter on that 3D resolution was a new experience for me as a kid and it set the stage for much more polished systems to come.
To this day I still whip out the Saturn sometimes
Saturn is one of the few consoles I never had. I had genesis and then ps1. I never even seen a Saturn in person until a couple years after I got my playstation. With that said I was fairly impressed by it once I seen it. I only remember they had the original tomb raider which i owned on ps1 but i realized even then that the Saturn had been a pioneer to that era of gaming.
Saturn had plenty of depth. So unique
The Saturn is actually a pretty interesting console that back then I passed upon for the PlayStation, but over the years now I’ve seen that it was actually a very good console, but only if you look at its Japanese library which had some cracking title, such as radiant silver gun
@@Adamtendo_player_1 I had a lot of good memories with Saturn. As a kid it was pretty revolutionary to see a system tap in to 3D tech when I was used to 2D Nintendo.
The Saturn actually had far more depth than people realised or gave it credit for, because unfortunately most kids and people dismissed it in favour of the PS1, often without ever playing on one. I've always much preferred it to the PS1 (in fact, it's still my favourite machine ever). The console had better all round 3D and 2D, and when the machine was pushed to its capability, it was at least the equal of the PS, or even better (Panzer Dragoon Saga/Zwei, Nights, Virtua Fighter 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, Sega Rally were incredible looking, let alone playing). Great RPGs, arcade conversions, first person shooters, fighting games galore, I love it.
Don't get me wrong, I've got into the PSX a bit more in recent years, but lists like this often seem to cater to public opinion/popularity (I cannot understand how the PS3 is rated as the third best machine ever). Then again, it's subjective, so each to their own. What I love is that the retro scene is getting some wonderful support nowadays.
X-Box One in 22nd: "Meh...yeah, I guess it's possible."
Pico in 21st: "OUCH!"
I guess it's hard to assess the "failure" of the XBox One... I'm a Sony fan myself and was going for the PS4 at launch, it's library being the main reason... Except for Cuphead, I realky don't find XBox exclusives appealing tbh... I don't say the same for the two previous Xbox consoles, great in their own right... But consoles sell on their exclusives and XBox just didn't cut it for me

Wii U is a great console with great games. Unfortunately it wasn't that sucessful it should have been.
Pretty sure it didn't sell well because they didn't explain wth it was, nobody understood it was a new console and not some kind of product/addon for the Wii.
I will always defend the Wii U. Theres a reason some of the best games for Switch are Wii U ports.
The 360 is what really solidified my presence in gaming, and it introduced me to some of my favorite games and franchises. I remember spending my whole weekends at my friends house so we could play xbox before my family had enough money to afford one.
360 was my first dive into online gaming and I remember it mostly for that. However, it was also the only console that ever died on me (2 times due to the red ring of death).

Hot Damn that was a ride. I'm 52 and have been loving games for, well....ever. I've been there for most of these releases, and it was a joy to take a ride through this iconic list.
I couldn't agree more with the PS2 taking out #1.
I'm a collector and have dozens of ps2 console, plus hundreds upon hundreds of games for it.
But I'm also a gamer, and it is still my mist played console today.
**although the Switch is challenging since discovering Steam World Dig.
Great work, team.
*most played
@@kurbii5216 thank you, Sir. 👏
You know you can get an amazing PS2 emulator on the PC. I completed R-Type Final the other day and loved it!
I’m halfway through and I had to stop and thank you for the effort you put into making this list. This isn’t just a list video, it’s a collection of video game history. I’m learning so much about something I engage with every day. You’ve done well boys AND GIRLS, cheers.
Don’t thank me you fucking asshole. Just enjoy the video jerkoff.
No offense. That’s just how we talk we’re on from you piece of human garbage.
God bless buddy!
"and girls"
Lmao, simp much?
I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. I'd put much higher weight on historical importance.
As such my top 7 would have included the Atari 2600, the NES, and the Super NES. Without these three consoles, videogames may not have become a central part of so many homes.
Your video is well-made and worth a watch btw.
And what consoles would be switched up???
Absolutely agree! Also in that spirit Sega Genesis/MegaDrive (Sega's Best!) and ColecoVision (First time we really thought we'd brought the arcade home) should both be higher.
Sega broke nintendos horrible little monopoly that allowed them to treat developers like garbage with the genesis. It deserves more respect.
Agreed. Genesis and ps1 would be next after those 3.
Congratulations,on a list that,as long and,as comprehensive as it was,you presented beautifully.,even for myself,who was never a big gamer (I began watching,merely to see where some of the better known models placed,on the list).
(Also,nice to see the old Intellivision brought up,along the way)
Well done,and,beautifully presented with such good humour,throughout...it certainly,didn't SEEM like 1:45 in length,and,I mean that as nothing but a compliment.
The fact that this has over a million views makes me so happy. So much love, time, effort and attention to detail was put into it, it deserves all the views.
I had to watch this in 3 sittings, and I completely agree. Complete respect for TripleJump!
@matt fahringer you’re a better man than me
@matt fahringer I watched this in half a sitting. How does that work? I watched another of their long ranking videos right after. Gottem!
PS2, 3, and 4 all carried me through my childhood. I love the PlayStation’s to death and all of them made the top ten...really shows you how they have consistently hit it out of the park with everything aside from the Vita and the Move
The ps3 was kinda shit tho
The most successful and also the least interesting in my opinion
The Vita is good though, sadly they marketed it with the whole mobile thingiemajig, and also the fact that smartphones where a thing at the point, so only people like me who dont want a smartphone would buy it >_
@@felixpetajajarvi4469 no it’s not I had that console and ppl hate on it to much
SEGA, (SEG)Abandoning their Loyal Console Customers, did not hurt Sony/"enoS."
"You are not Red E" or "Girls are Red E to Flirt."
You've probably heard this a million times but Coleco (Connecticut Leather Company, go figure) is pronounced Co-lee-co
To be fair their pronunciation of the "le" in Coleco is the same as the "e" in leather.
@@apispraetorium3275 A well known fact however Coleco the company always pronounced it Co-lee-co.
Yeah, the makers of this video lost credibility with me when they kept saying it like that
@@301cal It's an obscure, bizarre word. It's doubtful many people outside of old school gamers or Cabbage Patch Kids collectors would know the pronunciation.
almightycinder yes, unlike the common Bandai Terebikko, Neo Geo, Intellevision, and 90 other names
There is no answer for number 1 other than the PS2. It wasn't even mentioned two of the biggest features: backwards compatibility for PS1 games :o, and the ability to play DVDs which may not sound like a big deal but DVD players at the time were insanely expensive.
The switch with home menu themes, party chat, and invites would be absolutely incredible
Hell yeah! That would go over so well with us! They did themes on the 3DS, why not the Switch?
Ben Stevens they are planning on releasing more other than black and white
Enes Akbulut exactly theres so much good to work with but it’s underutilized. If it had virtual console games again and more complex online interaction and UI it could be perfect
A3JT may be right. Even though themes (and other features listed above) aren't available yet, that won't mean they won't be released at all. I mean, updates and games do take a lot of time to complete. Imagine what workload gaming companies have. Not only that, but pressure and stress is also prevalent in the gaming industry. And I mean, risks that fail can stuff up the console/game.
Ok, so to summarize the waffling, stuff takes time to complete.
Not only that the Switch is popular. And it's not like Nintendo is gonna release another console in the next 3 years like it's previous consoles. They said they'll curb that tradition this gen.
Just thought I'd put that in.
Really short changed the NES. Single handedly rebuilt the industry, and spawned many beloved videogame series. Should have placed at least above the original Xbox.
And the original XBOX should have been above the 360, god that was a piece of shit. Ofc I belong to the PC master race, so maybe my opinions are a bit slanted.
I really don't think it did anything different. Just was one if the only options. Then they got a 2 year research period in Japan before coming to it's biggest market in the the US. That simply could be done like that outside of the 80's. So while it was great no other console could have tested millions of units in the wild before then sending it to a major market.
And if they're going off sales almost every nes had been thru like 3 or 4 yards ales at this point so sales are way higher. The toaster should have been top 3
Ok I started gaming when the NES was new and hip but even I admit it really had no competition to speak of so what it did back then wasn't as huge as some people think....I know I was there.
IMHO #1 Sega Model 1 and 2,... #2 SNES #3 Tie between Ps2 and N64. ... The NES had many good games,.. but some of the worsed ever, rivalling ET MANY Times over.
One other benefit the PS2 had, in my opinion (not backed by any data) was that it was the first mainstream console that could also be used to watch movies, as a DVD player. It even had a fully-equipped first-party remote control available for it. This came at a time when DVD players were still relatively new and expensive, and the fact that the PS2 had the ability to play DVDs while also allowing you to play games (especially given its almost full backward-compatibility with PS1 games) was the biggest reason I decided to take the plunge and buy my PS2 even before there were any compelling games made specifically for it.
The Colecovision was actually a very good console and today it makes for a smart collector retro system to own. Games are still being made for it.
Really? Still? Who's still making the games?
That was a dope system in its time though.
This was an incredible history lesson in game consoles-so very well done! I had a Coleco(pronounced ColEcovision among my group), and it had some great games and a lot of great memories. I think even without the game crash, the 800 pound gorilla called the NES I think would have still had its domination, I don't think anything was beating that (and yes I was a Sega fan growing up lol)
I had a colecovision too and loved it. My friends all had ataris.
I watched the whole video, the first half was really sad, seeing every fruitless labor of love.
Pretty sure most of them were just labor of making money with video games popularity in the 80's/90's lol
@@seveneyes77 Seriously? I guess you weren't there at the time then...
Was thinking the same thing, Kevin. For every dime a dozen pong clone, there were several engineers, developers, artists pouring their hearts into at least trying to make something people loved.
Except for anything Philips, they were always trying to just make a quick buck it seemed.
@@sagebrushrepair Nintendo chose Phillips over Sony as spawned the PlayStation, clearly the biggest blunder in Nintendo History.
@matt fahringer touchy subject huh?
You missed an interesting detail about the Creativision console: a hardware expansion made it possible to play all Colecovision games on it, thus expanding its library considerably; in addition to this, it was possible to connect the Colecovision converter to it, thus playing all Atari 2600 games. As a consequence, though its own games were few, the Creativision was, for a certain number of years, the console with the potentially highest number of games on the market.
Mate you have put a lot of effort making this video.. u deserve all the views u get fair play to ya. And ur a funny guy
I'm really looking forward to the handheld list to see the Lynx's greatness finally recognized.
I will hand it to Lynx in being ahead of its time in hardware power in a portable console, but not many games I look back on and think that highly of.
I'm pulling for virtual boy to break top 10
It was crazy good, my rich friend had all the cool gadgets like that one.
My buddy Ryan had a Socrates when we were in grade school, that controller/keyboard interface was so confusing at first, but I remember actually enjoying playing it after a while
I am a big fan of your channel, and I am honored that you guys used a shot from one of my videos on 1:04:50
Keep up the good work people, this channel rocks !
Videosmarts!! You just unlocked a very dusty childhood memory but as soon as I saw the bear I yelled “teachin’ Teddy!” Also, I feel like the console knew if I got the correct answer because I remember the red caterpillar lighting up with a buzzer sound if I was wrong and the green lighting up with a bell sound if I was correct; but you’re correct that the tape continued playing just the same either way. Thanks for reminding me of one of my favorite childhood toys!

Price at launch:
PS3 sweats nervously
Hello Haward it wasn’t even that much. Both the series X and PS5 will be $600
@@unlovableshinshin Sony is aiming to sell the PS5 as cheap as possible, so I don't think $600 is what they are aiming for.
@@unlovableshinshin "it wasn't even that much" it definitely was at the time. This is the era where the economy was getting back onto its feet and people were still picky on what to buy. Also, comparing the price to next gen which is much more advanced in hardware should speak volumes on how overpriced the ps3 was at the time.
Jay WalkZ it cost Sony $800 to manufacture each console, them selling it at $600 is still loosing money. The PS3 was much more powerful than the Xbox 360, that’s why it cost more than the 360
Rip Etika they then reduced the manufacturing costs by 70% making it profitable for them
SEGA Mega Drive deserves the top 10 spot, it’s library was very unique and offered a mature approach to gaming, it had a profound effect on the industry
Yes Megadrive was the first one that gave me that arcade feel, then it was NEO GEO.
Yes
Top 10? Top 3.
Top 5 for sure, the megadrive was so good.
The Mega Drive is my second favourite console after the PS2 that’s for sure, it’s very dear to me with Streets of Rage 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Ristar, Rocket Knight Adventures, Street Fighter 2, the list goes on.
I’d love to see a list of all the games in The Sims series - including expansions
I'm sure my little sister would love to see that list as well!
Besides Sims 1 on PC, I think I liked Sims 2 on PS2 the most.
Yes yes yes yes yes! And also things like Sims Medieval and the Console exclusives
@@TayR0C ts2 in ps2 was awesome
Dreamcast is personal favorite retro system. It really had stood the test of time
I think Dark Wizard on Sega CD was a very unique game and one of my all time games. I think Genesis not being in the top 10 sounds wrong, Sega Genesis was such a good console.
I thought i was the only one in the world who loved dark wizard. one of my all time favorite games too.
I don’t agree with the Mega Drive not being in the top 10 but I can understand why as the SNES is more highly regarded and because of the Mega Drive’s undeserving reputation for bad audio.
Yeah, I understand SNES being higher, but no way Sega gets left out of the top 10. Criminal.
I played Genesis quite a lot as a kid, though never owned one till recently, it has some really banger games even outside the more well known ones, Crossfire, Super Monaco GP, and Roadrash probably being my current top 3.
I had the Xbox 360 and ps2 then. It was difficult to pick my most preferred but I can say for the sheer size of the game library the ps2 was the king.
A lot of xbox/ps2 games were on the 360. Splinter cell double agent is an example of where the game is massively better on the 360.
The PS2's rotating badge on the disc drive was the simplest yet most impressive console design choice ever IMHO
Which i personally discovered whole 3 years after i bought the console when i hit it by mistake and rotated. I thought i broken it but then i realized the damn thing actually rotated and i was mouth opened at how great it was and my own ignorance that i just had realized it could do that.
@@SIPEROTH Why does it rotate? It's not like you can use it sitting sideways. That would ruin something, right?
@@JoeCoffee9476 No it wouldn't ruin it. PS2 was actually made so it could work sideways as well. There are even stands you can buy so you can use it standing up on it's side.
I knew that but i haven't thought they would even made the Playstation logo rotate so it can look straight when used standing. So when i discovered it i was surprised i never realised.
@@SIPEROTH you just told me about it... 15 years
The PS2 ranked a bit lower than I was expecting

What you said doesn't make any sense. It's WORST to BEST. The ps2 ranked as the BEST.

@@NYCHeavyHitz212 What?
@@ReadingWithJT He's taking the piss. It's a joke.
The PlayStation 2 was truly a phenomenon. Glad to have owned one.
It was a console seemingly everyone owned, even the types who weren't hardcore gamers. My gripe is I never felt a personal connection to it.
Buy it wasn't priced fairly at all. It was goddamn expensive. Even after the first price drop, wich was Almost a third of the release price. I still have 2 of em...
Everyone has one because it was the cheapest DVD at the time
@@AdamTopCommenter i was just thinking this. my little brother got us one when i was a teenager. guitar hero was cool, but i just never felt that "x-factor", you know?
I make sure to buy a PS2 every 3 months or so. My cupboard is completely full of them now
Spot 51, the Vtech Smile was probably my first games console. I have found memories of it, when it worked. At least for the games I had the gameplay was repetitive (I’d have been about 5 at the time) and later on it would struggle to load and kept crashing
What a brilliant video and list. I never heard of most of these consoles and it was very interesting to hear about so many of them that faded into obscurity. Also, brilliant and witty narration.
♥
I remember the VSmile, and all these years I couldn't remember what it was called!
I just looked it up and realized I had that
Being there from the very beginning of the home console wars, with the Atari 2600 as my first real 'Home Video Game' this ranking was not only fun to watch but touch basis with items I don't remember ever existed.. Well Done!!!! and thanks for the stroll down video lane....
@33:08 NEC Turbo Grafx-16 was sold in Canada as well.
The V-Tech Vsmile was my first ever console, when I was a really little kid. Pretty sure it helped foster a lifelong love for video games in me lol. IIRC, because the controller had a hand-shaped part on the side, there was also a version of the controller for left-handed children.
I had a VFlash which I loved growing up. The remotes could be popped up and turned to make them left handed. I wasnt even left handed but I would play that way just for the challenge
1:16:27 It's actually pronounced "Coh-LEE-coh"
I played mr do and donkey kong on colecovision alot. Before nes came out....
@@popeyejones9256 subroc and river raid were my games on Coleco
I had fallen asleep with this playing in the background and that part was so grating on my sleeping mind, that I woke up, fully alert from the very first mispronunciation.
54:43
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that
British people are weird like that. Example: Vitamin pronounced "Vit-uh-men"
Watched the whole video and started really flashbacking in the higher spots. From my childhood faves of Atari 2600, nes, and snes, through teen years of ps1 and n64, to my faves as adult ps2, 3, and 4. Great list! Totally agree with the vast majority of it!
Genesis and Dreamcast would’ve definitely made it in the top 10
Dreamcast? No. Genesis? Absolutely. A lot of Dreamcast games were rushed a sloppy. People remember it fondly for the huge jump in graphical fidelity and the romanticism of a lost cause. That said, putting Xbox OG and 360 above Genesis is nuts. 360 as number 2? You gotta be kidding me. Most of the best games were released on PS3 at the same time. It barely had any exclusives. As far as systems go it's extremely forgettable.
@@sonnington1035 Maybe because you're not into fighting games: Dreamcast was pretty much the first home console to have arcade perfect convertions of huge arcade franchises (Most Notably: Street Fighter (2/3/Alpha), King of Fighters, MvC, SvC, Mortal Kombat, etc.), which by the time , considering most of these entrances were not featured in PS2 anthologies/collections for at least 5 years later (Some didnt ever had any PS2 port), was (and in some cases still is to this day) the best option to play arcade fighters at home for a reasonable price (unlike buffed pricy Neo-Geo from early 90s).
That alone make DC a console that has aged way better than OG Xbox and GameCube, that either have'nt had many reasons to differentiate themselves from another options from the market (mainly PS2) neither give you a solid reason to play them today except good 1st party games, which DC also had as well.
The same goes for Genesis considering it was the best option for an arcade oriented console for that era, while SNES was more suitable for home oriented genres, such as RPGs. Their rivalry was mainly famous due to the fact that each console had kind of a different niche and capabilities, almost as if they complemented each other.
Overall, I got the impression the list based its position too much on US market success(hence the X360 being so high)
@@sonnington1035 yeah I always saw the 360 as a system remembered quite negatively by the gaming community. It's infamous for sh:tting out with the red ring of death. Yeah many people liked games on it but a LOT of people were fed up by how it was rushed. I think Microsoft kinda screwed up big time with that system so I think they're just looking at sales and that's just kind of a dumb way to oversimplify the topic.
Edit: I suppose the switch hadn't sold over 100mil when this video was made though so I guess I kinda get it.
@@andrealves3104 exactly, that's my main takeaway too - they way oversimplified everything down to sales. It's the laziest way to approach this topic. I get reducing long forgotten systems down to sales but with ones that are very fresh in the public consciousness I think more nuanced discussion should've been had past "oh this one sold a lot" - and then they didn't even fully use that metric because the Nintendo switch has sold far more than most of the systems that came after it.
I love my Super Nintendo, I’ll never sell it. I’m still collecting for it.
Good for you - heard Apex legends is coming out for it next month ;-)
When I die my head will rest on my SNES instead of a pillow in my coffin. It's brown and yellow and covered in permanent stains and it rattles oddly when I move it, but I still play Super Metroid and will continue to do so as long as I draw breath on this earth.
I wish I still had mine. Lost it when my brother moved and I just happened to be out of town that week.
Eric Farner he took it
I still have snes games
No matter how much effort and research you do its all subjective.. I just love the nostalgia
Not sure why the PS3 ranked higher than the PS4.
Or the SNES, for the matter.
@@OldSilentHill8 Well the SNES at least was the best selling console of it's generation, but the PS3 really is as mystery. It was outsold by the Wii and barely managed to sell a few units more than 360 by the end while the PS4 sold a lot more and is the king of it's generation as well so the whole thing makes little sense.
@@OldSilentHill8 *for that matter

The only good thing about the Action Max is that the console's bootup/startup sequence is actually really cool and stylish. The synth jingle mixed with the visual sequence playing on the found-typography of the logo, with VHS film in the background and a chrome sheen on everything, are a good match. Shame it had to be the intro to that console in particular.
the ouya placed higher than the neogeo? how dare you, sir!!
This. For shame!
The neo Geo was not even in the main stream only geeky rich people bought the thing....
More people played and knew about the Neo-Geo than the Ouya, that's for sure.
@@Fygee yeah by now....but proably not when it first came out I don't think....no one bought it ..it cost like double or 3 x what nintendo or Sega did.
@@popeyejones9256 It was definitely the rich people console, so sales numbers were a lot lower. It was, however, still well known and fairly popular in the early 90s thanks to their presence in arcades. You could also rent the console from Blockbuster back in the day.
Maybe it was just in the area I grew up in, but we called it, the "Koh-leek-oh" vision. Great system back in the day.
that's the correct pronunciation, the way you just said
Peter regularly does this...at first I thought :England, but he seems to make them up as he encounters them.
For instance, "Ball-ee" instead of "Bail-ee" for Bally...lots of other examples in other videos.
Pretty sure it's just him, not the common usage...(However, both companies naming history suggests that he might be right in his "interpretation", none the less, where I've lived (western US/Canada) he would have gotten strange looks and laughs for it...)
For me it’s Cole-Lee-Co
You are correct on pronunciation, and it was a great system.
@@jbarnhart2653 I pronounce it at as "Bal-ee" without the double l.
Damn son, when you said every console that you didn’t forget about, you sure as hell meant it! Mad respect!
San Andreas, MGS 3, and NBA Street Vol. 2 were my favorite PS2 games
Taken in the context of when the hardware was released and the technology at the time I can’t think of any reasonable argument that would rank the original Xbox above the NES
I came here to say the same thing. I thought the NES would be top five for sure due to it saving the entire industry in the west, and seeing the original XBox right after it made me literally go "WHAT??!" at my phone. lol
It had revolutionary graphics for the time. If you played Ninja Gaiden at launch you would be blown away. Had a more consistent catalogue of games than the NES but it just wasn't as important so I don't see it being ranked above
You are right, but There’s a lot of rabid Xbox fans who would go crazy with the dislikes and toxic comments, which the narrators acknowledged with a few quips at various points.
@@makasete30 Thats an idiotic rationale for him to place the xbox so high, just so viewers won't complain? Thats the dumbest reason ever. That completely destroys his credibility as a critic.
I honestly didn't even doubt the PS2 being the best. It was definitely an absolutely amazing console.
This comment showed up on top and spoiled the end of the video ;-;
Complicated to develop for, worst controllers and underpowered for the generation, BUT. It has the memories, and that’s what counts.
@@shushpuppai yup and it was still the best it was that gikdb
as someone who had a ps2 and a gamecube as a kid and who owns everything as an adult, the ps2 is overrated constantly.
PS 2 was simply THE console of the "youth", every ghetto kid would have GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City, the console was everywhere you would look.
After 20 minutes of listening to Ben, it was a bit jarring to hear Peter suddenly piping up, but phew I’m glad they shared voiceover duties for this! Well done to all involved!
