There's no room for anything else, there's just the Steamdeck over there in the corner and maybe the Rog Alli, but they're not really new products.
It’s because the cost of everything has ballooned in the last two decades and you have to sell your console at a loss for the first few months or even years. I heard that Microsoft is still selling the Xbox SX at a $100 loss so they reduced the SX production and now it’s harder to find Xbox SX in stores.

@@rednorth7312 But the Switch still accomplished it in half the time. The reason the Switch is only at 40% is that we have two other consoles that sold really well: the PS4 and the Xbox One. During the PS2 era, the GameCube and Xbox sold poorly.
NDS and Switch sold so much better than PS2 per month. That PS2 sold 156m-158m is just thanks of its longevity of +14 years, and its DVD-player which were the cheapest quality DVD-player on the market for years. Switch has now almost 130m in just 6 years and 3 months! It took PS2 eleven years to pass 150m. So that means that Switch is outpacing PS2 by lightyears. Of course Sony fanboys are always ignoring the facts and the reality.
For as long as I've known consoles existed, the ps2 has always been as best selling as the DS, the reason for the ps2 as of today (yes, there are so many non-original ps2s still selling in so many countries outside of the more developed countries), is portability and its lightness, and also unlock for non-original games.
O PS2 em 7 anos no mercado já tinha ultrapassado 140 milhões de unidades vendidas, apenas o restante vendeu depois disso, e olha que ele conseguiu isso sem as facilidades que existem hoje em dia
Console Wars Makes the gaming industry interesting as well as makes the gaming landscape diverse and consumer friendly. Just look at some of the gaming franchises that have Spawned due to a Console War..... Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, The PlayStation brand, ext...... There are more franchises I could mention but I'm sure you get the idea! Let's ALL support and Celebrate the Legacy of Console Wars. Maybe Microsoft will get the hint and make good to great 1st party games again like Sony & Nintendo currently do!
As long as there is competition amongst video gaming consoles then there will be fans and a console war. At the end of the day competition is good for the consumer and good for the industry.
@@bossredd-77 i think i kinda understand that. but what if, hypothetically, the whole industry came together to pool their knowledge, resources, etc to make 1 epic console with epic games, where ALL games would work on it without porting, glitching, etc issues so all gamers can play all games regardless of them not being economically justified or rich enough for buying a 2nd console just for 1 or 2 exclusives they wanted? n the whole industry used their time n resources from marketing, into actual gaming stuff
First concil I played was an Xbox*(my cousins)then a Game Cube(My step sisters) My first owened concil was a PS1 then a PS2, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, Xbox One.
Wii U lacked the exclusive games, mostly fighting games franchise such as Mortal Kombat, and Street Fighter. Xbox 360 is worse than Wii U, and Sega Saturn.
Everyone talking about ps2 when the DS was literally in everyone’s hands back then as if it was a smartphone. You would see everyone everywhere with a DS. In airports, school, parties… it was like a fashion thing to have.
>TFW you don't get into pointless console wars since you own all consoles and can appreciate each and every console for what they have to offer. Feels gud man.
When will ppl realize that "Console Waring" is the BEST thing for the gaming industry as a whole??? If the "Console Wars Mindset" was in Microsoft's playbook, their 1st party would not be what it is today(and it's looking REALLY BAD). The idea as a company to be Better than your competition and offer things the the competition does not offer is what made the Legendary Sega x Nintendo era of Console Wars just that...Legendary. Why?...Because developers had to think outside of the box to 1-up the competition for that almighty consumer dollar! Sony still has this Company Mindset(secretly Nintendo does too to an extent) and this is why we see Better 1st party games and innovative ideas from Sony and Nintendo to this day! Support All forms of Console Wars my friend!..... "Let's Make Gaming GREAT Again"!
All I saw in your post was someone who spends too much money on entertainment & cant be satisfied with 1 so has to spend thousands for all. I got rid of all that junk, I'm happy with just a PS5 & virtual reality
Doubt it would sell less even without the DVD. It's practically the best console during that generation especially with its huge quality game library and backwards compatibility with PS1 games compared to GameCube.

I was surprised to see the PlayStation 3 in first place for a few moments, I suppose it will vary by region. That console did not sell well in my region, it was very hard to get.
It’s kind of weird that Xbox isn’t popular in Japan. I mean Japanese people prefer IPhones over Sony phones. And prefer Apple computers in places that can afford them. The PlayStation uses American software and American games. So what’s wrong with Xbox?
TLDR, Xbox approaching JP market with American mindset imaginable which either result in doubt, skeptic, and outright humiliating. 1, Xbox is pretty much thought as "invader" in JP market since they already had Sony and Nintendo which is local brand that they support. 2. Historically bad move they ever made is they release first XBOX side by side with PS2 of all console they had to compete. That alone is pretty much bad move knowing PS2 made a record sale that still stand today, making them fell off from JP market just like that. 3. The console and the controller size is waste of space. JP houses mainly a minimalist and that's a no-go that is until XBOX 360 come into play but the stigma of being large console still remain 4. Whatever library they had, PS already has it. Buying two consoles is not a common thing in JP. 5. Their first party game cater to western market solely which result in none of it pick JP market who interest is vastly varied from JRPG, all the way to Visual Novel and collecting games you can can name of. 6. Since PS and Nintendo is their local brand, they're most likely cheaper than imported XBOX to buy anyway 7. Their approach to JP game dev and publisher is very poor which lead them to lose exclusive release of Resident Evil 4 to GameCube and Final Fantasy 11 to Sony. The only time they got the big score is from SEGA but that's because they close their door on gaming console market after Dreamcast low sales, not because interest in XBOX. Lastly... 8. Even before the XBOX email leak year ago, XBOX did try to acquire Nintendo back then, while completely ignoring the fact they're just a new kid on console market at the time. Numerous outlet said they were laughed at by the whole board of Nintendo, but it also serve stigma that XBOX never wanting to invest in JP creative development; they just want easy way out for cash by having JP dev team on their brand. Compare it to Sony who literally spent time making first party developer that still hold to this day, XBOX approach to wave money at you for the sake of having you instead of investing in your idea is outright insulting, especially in JP where they really push the creativity off the chart. So yeah, XBOX pull a Henry Ford move on JP. And its not very effective.
I’ve had both PlayStation and Xbox and I’ve never came to love a console more than the Nintendo switch. It’s such a great console and with my lifestyle and job I’m always on the move so to be able to play it anywhere and then when I’m home be able to plug it into my tv is what made me buy it
@@sknzgames3236Si nintendo Playstation hubiera sido una realidad probablemente no existiría Xbox y ahora solo sería PC Master Race y Nintendo Playstation.
This wont happened for simple matter that these games are not profitable enough. They've already shut down Japan Studios who made them those kind of games like Gravity Rush . Currently in Japan only Nintendo matters and Playstation or Xbox are almost non existent there. Majority of Japanese gamers also hate the new route which Final Fantasy XVI took.
I love how you can see certain trends in console sales with huge games. Was looking at the switch in Sept/Oct 2019 with the release of Pokemon Sword/Shield. One of the few games that people will buy a console for. Sure Halo at times was that for Halo as well
I had a ps3 growing up we skipped out on ps4 (or any console that gen) cause my dad didn’t want to buy a new console when we already have a good one at home but I am getting a ps5 very soon and am hyped
As for me, I've had Gameboy, SNES, Playstation, Nintendo 64, Gameboy Advance SP, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo 3DS XL, Xbox One X, Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X. Both of my Nintendo Switch consoles are still brand new sealed in a .5 mm plastic protector case with 8 physical games still brand new and sealed as well. I own around 400 physical games.
@@DontKnowDontCare6.9Thats not the point. Fair if you wanted to buy a ps4 second hand for really cheap but these are NEW consoles. Might as well just pay the extra 100 or so just to have the newest console. Even despite the fact that ps5 doesnt have too many games, buying an old one full price is just an idiotic choice.
It’s quite staggering to me to learn how the Wii and the DS were leaders in 2007-2008 and how relatively insignificant PS3 sales were when it launched. And also how long the original PlayStation remained relevant.
So many good memories. I owned a ps1. Ps2, sega , snes, n64, gamecube, wii, ps4, ps5, 3ds. Wish i held onto my older consoles! Now that im an adult im more into pc gaming though. 😎
Sega Dreamcast is underrated. It would've kicked PS2 ass because it had better graphics than the PS2. For example: MvC2, RE Code Veronica, Grandia 2, SF Alpha 3, Guilty Gear X, and SF 3rd Strike on the DC were the better versions than the PS2 version.
Just because it sold poorly doesn't make it terrible console. The Dreamcast IS an awesome that only survived 2 years on the market. Sega's financial troubles didn't help. Great system.
It wasn't going to win. I had a Dreamcast, I loved it, but you gotta be realistic. The PS2 could practically play its entire back catalogue and it was everyone's first DVD player. How do you compete against that?
Graphics don't really make a console, switch beats out the PS5 so far and their not even on the same level. What makes a console is the games, always will, the Dreamcast had some awesome games, but the PS2's library is a god tier level library. It's just not comparable.
The Switch on a tech level isn't all that, but if you look at its full first party library... it just makes you want to get a Switch. And that it's portable is really cool. The PS2 was just the GOAT, not as many first party games as the Switch but it was fully backwards compatible with the PS1 which had a great library as well and it could also play DVDs which at the time was a big deal. The DS appealed to non gamers as well as gamers, my little sister had one of those and she didn't even know what a GameCube was.
Ps2 only sold 23m in japan for almost 13 years of ps2 sells. And there's 127m of them in japan that time (2013). Except you said there's 1 out of 5 or 6 people in japan have ps2 I still believe it. Ps2 dominate in north America and Europe that sold more than 50m each (more than 1/3 or 30% sales)
Less people buying old consoles in that year of course. Also companies stop producing older ones when they have a new release. Like stopping ps1 production when ps2 comes out.

@@gringoamigo8146The PS3's bluray factor was a key selling point that helped make sales. Families would never need to buy an additional DVD player when they could buy the PS3 instead AND keep their kids happy. Sony capitalised on this and it worked.
@gringoamigo8146 yet in the end ps3 still did better than most despite it being Sony's weakest console
The legendary ps2 just refused to die for so many years
News flash: its already dead for a decade.
The Switch is sold more unite in half the time it took the PS2. The PS2 was out for 14 years, while the Switch has only been out for 7 years.
@@n.d.n.e1805 First of all the PS2 was in production for 12 years and sold 157 million
The Switch is approaching it's 8th years and its sales are now just over 140 (IMPRESSIVE)
Saying all that the ps2 era had a lot less gamers.... gaming was popular but not nearly as popular as it is today
In that era the 75% of all consoles in the world were PS2s
Nowadays the switches are less than 40%
@@rednorth7312 But the Switch still accomplished it in half the time. The reason the Switch is only at 40% is that we have two other consoles that sold really well: the PS4 and the Xbox One. During the PS2 era, the GameCube and Xbox sold poorly.
@@rednorth7312 But ps2 is also use as a alternate dvd player back then so people that are not a gamer also buy ps2 .
NDS and Switch sold so much better than PS2 per month. That PS2 sold 156m-158m is just thanks of its longevity of +14 years, and its DVD-player which were the cheapest quality DVD-player on the market for years. Switch has now almost 130m in just 6 years and 3 months! It took PS2 eleven years to pass 150m. So that means that Switch is outpacing PS2 by lightyears.
Of course Sony fanboys are always ignoring the facts and the reality.
Yeah yeah so what its the excuse for the sales of PS4 and PSOne?
What in Heaven's name are you talking about?
For as long as I've known consoles existed, the ps2 has always been as best selling as the DS, the reason for the ps2 as of today (yes, there are so many non-original ps2s still selling in so many countries outside of the more developed countries), is portability and its lightness, and also unlock for non-original games.
O PS2 em 7 anos no mercado já tinha ultrapassado 140 milhões de unidades vendidas, apenas o restante vendeu depois disso, e olha que ele conseguiu isso sem as facilidades que existem hoje em dia

Console Wars Makes the gaming industry interesting as well as makes the gaming landscape diverse and consumer friendly.
Just look at some of the gaming franchises that have Spawned due to a Console War.....
Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, The PlayStation brand, ext......
There are more franchises I could mention but I'm sure you get the idea!
Let's ALL support and Celebrate the Legacy of Console Wars.
Maybe Microsoft will get the hint and make good to great 1st party games again like Sony & Nintendo currently do!
As long as there is competition amongst video gaming consoles then there will be fans and a console war. At the end of the day competition is good for the consumer and good for the industry.
I think you underestimate the quality of Xbox games. Look up who won publisher of the year.
@@glenmcl Publishing a game is Nowhere Near Developing a Game!
@@bossredd-77 i think i kinda understand that.
but what if, hypothetically, the whole industry came together to pool their knowledge, resources, etc to make 1 epic console with epic games, where ALL games would work on it without porting, glitching, etc issues so all gamers can play all games regardless of them not being economically justified or rich enough for buying a 2nd console just for 1 or 2 exclusives they wanted? n the whole industry used their time n resources from marketing, into actual gaming stuff

Ps2 was my childhood 😊
First concil I played was an Xbox*(my cousins)then a Game Cube(My step sisters)
My first owened concil was a PS1 then a PS2, Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, Xbox One.
I have Wii U and I think it's really underrated
Switch completely replaced the wii u
Wii U lacked the exclusive games, mostly fighting games franchise such as Mortal Kombat, and Street Fighter. Xbox 360 is worse than Wii U, and Sega Saturn.
I have the Wii U and I agree
@@nwo2coolExclusive games is the one thing it didn't lack, until the Switch arrived it had more than the PS4 and One.
@@void2695the switch has more exclusives than the Wii U plus the switch has third party games unlike the Wii U
Funny how a chart can bring back feelings of nostalgia.
Everyone talking about ps2 when the DS was literally in everyone’s hands back then as if it was a smartphone. You would see everyone everywhere with a DS. In airports, school, parties… it was like a fashion thing to have.
Amazing summarization in the end!
What a domination of PlayStation 4 🔥
In the end, all is Red & Blue!

Feels gud man.
When will ppl realize that "Console Waring" is the BEST thing for the gaming industry as a whole???
If the "Console Wars Mindset" was in Microsoft's playbook, their 1st party would not be what it is today(and it's looking REALLY BAD).
The idea as a company to be Better than your competition and offer things the the competition does not offer is what made the Legendary Sega x Nintendo era of Console Wars just that...Legendary.
Why?...Because developers had to think outside of the box to 1-up the competition for that almighty consumer dollar!
Sony still has this Company Mindset(secretly Nintendo does too to an extent) and this is why we see Better 1st party games and innovative ideas from Sony and Nintendo to this day!
Support All forms of Console Wars my friend!.....

Una gráfica muestra que Xbox nunca lideró el mercado de consolas con datos reales*
Un chango de la alcantarilla: Cuánto te pago Sony?
Muchos piensan que es una batalla Xbox vs Playstation pero en realidad es Nintendo vs Playstation.
7:45, game cube did not outsell the Xbox, Xbox sold 24.65 million while the GameCube sold 22 million.
PS2 was the breakthrough in video gaming
Y I don’t think the PS5 or PS6 will achieve those numbers and in fact now it looks like MS is catching PS
I was surprised to see the PlayStation 3 in first place for a few moments, I suppose it will vary by region. That console did not sell well in my region, it was very hard to get.
It’s kind of weird that Xbox isn’t popular in Japan. I mean Japanese people prefer IPhones over Sony phones. And prefer Apple computers in places that can afford them.
The PlayStation uses American software and American games. So what’s wrong with Xbox?
Sony and Nintendo are Japanese companies
TLDR, Xbox approaching JP market with American mindset imaginable which either result in doubt, skeptic, and outright humiliating.
1, Xbox is pretty much thought as "invader" in JP market since they already had Sony and Nintendo which is local brand that they support.
2. Historically bad move they ever made is they release first XBOX side by side with PS2 of all console they had to compete. That alone is pretty much bad move knowing PS2 made a record sale that still stand today, making them fell off from JP market just like that.
3. The console and the controller size is waste of space. JP houses mainly a minimalist and that's a no-go that is until XBOX 360 come into play but the stigma of being large console still remain
4. Whatever library they had, PS already has it. Buying two consoles is not a common thing in JP.
5. Their first party game cater to western market solely which result in none of it pick JP market who interest is vastly varied from JRPG, all the way to Visual Novel and collecting games you can can name of.
6. Since PS and Nintendo is their local brand, they're most likely cheaper than imported XBOX to buy anyway
7. Their approach to JP game dev and publisher is very poor which lead them to lose exclusive release of Resident Evil 4 to GameCube and Final Fantasy 11 to Sony. The only time they got the big score is from SEGA but that's because they close their door on gaming console market after Dreamcast low sales, not because interest in XBOX.
Lastly...
8. Even before the XBOX email leak year ago, XBOX did try to acquire Nintendo back then, while completely ignoring the fact they're just a new kid on console market at the time. Numerous outlet said they were laughed at by the whole board of Nintendo, but it also serve stigma that XBOX never wanting to invest in JP creative development; they just want easy way out for cash by having JP dev team on their brand. Compare it to Sony who literally spent time making first party developer that still hold to this day, XBOX approach to wave money at you for the sake of having you instead of investing in your idea is outright insulting, especially in JP where they really push the creativity off the chart.
So yeah, XBOX pull a Henry Ford move on JP. And its not very effective.
I’ve had both PlayStation and Xbox and I’ve never came to love a console more than the Nintendo switch. It’s such a great console and with my lifestyle and job I’m always on the move so to be able to play it anywhere and then when I’m home be able to plug it into my tv is what made me buy it
nintendo simply wins its not about the power of the games its about the experience and the memorable times😊
Xbox 360 will always be the childhood console

@@gambitgamblesDepende, porque en esta generación Nintendo le dió una paliza a Sony
PS2 has some amazing exclusive Japanese games. Sony should get the publishing rights for and revive those franchises.
This wont happened for simple matter that these games are not profitable enough. They've already shut down Japan Studios who made them those kind of games like Gravity Rush . Currently in Japan only Nintendo matters and Playstation or Xbox are almost non existent there. Majority of Japanese gamers also hate the new route which Final Fantasy XVI took.
Sony PlayStation is USA based now. So no, it wont do
I love how you can see certain trends in console sales with huge games. Was looking at the switch in Sept/Oct 2019 with the release of Pokemon Sword/Shield. One of the few games that people will buy a console for. Sure Halo at times was that for Halo as well

So far, I have had a PS3, NES, SNES and then Switch.
Wow, there's a big time gap between SNES and PS3
As for me, I've had Gameboy, SNES, Playstation, Nintendo 64, Gameboy Advance SP, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Nintendo 3DS XL, Xbox One X, Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X. Both of my Nintendo Switch consoles are still brand new sealed in a .5 mm plastic protector case with 8 physical games still brand new and sealed as well. I own around 400 physical games.

@@Alema213 you’ll better have Series S/X or PS5
Touch grass, kid. Series X and PS5 doesnt have enough games that justify their purchase just yet.
@@DontKnowDontCare6.9Thats not the point. Fair if you wanted to buy a ps4 second hand for really cheap but these are NEW consoles. Might as well just pay the extra 100 or so just to have the newest console. Even despite the fact that ps5 doesnt have too many games, buying an old one full price is just an idiotic choice.
PS2 is a legend! If you have one, I will garantee your hapiness until your last breath in life

It’s quite staggering to me to learn how the Wii and the DS were leaders in 2007-2008 and how relatively insignificant PS3 sales were when it launched. And also how long the original PlayStation remained relevant.
my childhood was with ps1 and ps2
So how exactly do you read this graph? Are these sales by year cumulative? Because some of them go up while others go down. I'm Confused.
It's how much they sold per month worldwide

What’s the data source? United States? World wide?
Sega Dreamcast is underrated. It would've kicked PS2 ass because it had better graphics than the PS2. For example: MvC2, RE Code Veronica, Grandia 2, SF Alpha 3, Guilty Gear X, and SF 3rd Strike on the DC were the better versions than the PS2 version.
But it have the least sold even less than the Wii u. One of Nintendo's biggest failures.
Just because it sold poorly doesn't make it terrible console. The Dreamcast IS an awesome that only survived 2 years on the market. Sega's financial troubles didn't help. Great system.
It wasn't going to win. I had a Dreamcast, I loved it, but you gotta be realistic. The PS2 could practically play its entire back catalogue and it was everyone's first DVD player. How do you compete against that?
@@SlainByTheWire Also, the PS2 is backward compatible to PSX.
Graphics don't really make a console, switch beats out the PS5 so far and their not even on the same level. What makes a console is the games, always will, the Dreamcast had some awesome games, but the PS2's library is a god tier level library. It's just not comparable.
The Switch on a tech level isn't all that, but if you look at its full first party library... it just makes you want to get a Switch. And that it's portable is really cool. The PS2 was just the GOAT, not as many first party games as the Switch but it was fully backwards compatible with the PS1 which had a great library as well and it could also play DVDs which at the time was a big deal. The DS appealed to non gamers as well as gamers, my little sister had one of those and she didn't even know what a GameCube was.
就是這個時間軸，所以大家在猜Nintendo近期要出新主機了~

Fun fact: in Japan each person own four Playstation 2 on average
Ps2 only sold 23m in japan for almost 13 years of ps2 sells. And there's 127m of them in japan that time (2013). Except you said there's 1 out of 5 or 6 people in japan have ps2 I still believe it. Ps2 dominate in north America and Europe that sold more than 50m each (more than 1/3 or 30% sales)
