Most Games Sold By Console 1977 - 2024
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- In this bar race I look at the consoles that sold the most games, it showcases the total number of games sold from 1977 to the present day. Using data sourced from VGChartz, Fandom.com, business database and insights from numerous Reddit comments, I've compiled approximate calculations to fill in any missing numbers. Watch as we journey through the evolution of gaming, highlighting the best-selling titles for each console era.
In this animation, you'll see a visual representation of game sales over the decades, complete with a preview of the most popular game of the year shown. The king of sales was the Sega Master System as it sold close to 20x game units as the number of consoles sold, 18:1, I don't really trust those numbers, but they were high across multiple sources. Maybe that high ratio was reported in order to attract more game developers. Normal sales ratios were 5:1 up to 12:1.
Final question, which console do you think will dominate game sales in the future?
The fact that the PS2 is still up there is crazy!!!
I KNOW
No surprise to me it sold almost 250 million worldwide
This video is all-time stats, so the PS2 will always be there. It's not a yearly stats.
@@AnthonySmith-bq2if *155 million
Yeah consoles generally got worse and ps2 playing dvds started the trend, while costing less than ps3. I am glad pc hybrids have gotten better now, as first party stopped making non-Mario games (and limited run games/gamestop being a physical joke, with pc game pass replacing xbox's lack of physicals) in general let alone ps plus premium is too expensive just to play demos that pc does and online multiplayer, for free. Just an expensive start that pays for itself in versatile storefronts, less censorship, an early access notification before buying, and rom hacks.
Not sure how mobile is hanging in but they got their whales. I thought mobile would be the future for handheld though I feel they are limited to simpler games and the energy meters hurt its value though many like with consoles, settle for less, as spiderman 2 selling 11M copies despite bugs and bad writing did.
PS2 2007: Nothing will ever beat me
PS2 2017: Why do I hear boss music?
3:40 A Mistake? It says "Mario 64" but still shows Yoshi's Island.
it's crazy how much games the xbox 360 ps3 and wii sold back when there were many fun games and not just a hand full
That's nice but there are some errors:
Most the of the consoles report game sales even after Lifespan ended. The lastest numbers from those discontinued consoles and their date: PS1 in March 2007, PS2 and PSP in March 2012, PS3 in March 2019, Wii in March 2021, DS in September 2022 and 3DS in March 2024.
Also, Super Mario World was popular on the SNES, not NES and you have the wrong gif for Super Mario 64.
Really exposes how Playstation 5 missed the market. Too expensive and not a huge leap forward after PS4
There's still time.
Also note that ps4 games also sell in ps5 and still count as a ps4 game
PS2 says "nobody will ever beat me."
Nintendo Switch says "Are you sure about that? because the way things are going I'm going to open a can of whoop-ass on you before my time of being popular dies out for good.
Damn 💀
it took 12 years for the ps2 to get so much sales, the switch is almost surpassed the ps4 and its only been around for 7 years
6:08 but there are only 8.1 billion people on earth
Nah some people may buy many gaming console, just like you buy a ps4 and a xbox one
That's just a current number. Many billions have been born or died over the decades that this covers.
4:04 Took until the end of '98 for the NES to be dethroned, and it was still selling games. Damn.
Edit: God damn, PS2 is king. No surprise really, I might not have owned one, being a Nintendo boy before becoming a PC man, but everyone and their grandma had a PS2 back in the day.
Edit2: Fucking spam bots in the comments.
My guy space invaders on the Atari 2600 did not look like that💀
The Wii is my favorite console of all time!
Now do one but with the ratio of "game sold to consoles sold" i.e. "catchment rate".
PS2 sold 1,537,000,000 per roughly 158,000,000 which is a ratio of 9.72
PS4 sold 1,419,500,000 per roughly 117,200,000 which is a ratio of 12.11
Switch sold 1,235,820,000 per roughly 141,320,000 which is a ratio of 8.74
So, even though PS2 has sold more games in total, it also sold more consoles, whereas PS4 sold more games _per_ system, which in my opinion is a better comparison.
That's just one way of seeing it, because whereas the PS2 had 160+ games that sold 1 million+ copies; the PS4 (just like the PS3) only has about 40 games that sold 1 million+ copies... at least if Wikipedia's numbers are anything to be trusted...
So the PS2 had more popular games that most wanted to play... and while I don't know PS4's games sales numbers, if 1,419,500,000 is correct, then that means PS4 may be selling more games per system, but the vast majority of those games aren't even selling 1 million copies...
I have 44 Playstation 2 games, the last ones I played were Gran Turismo 5 and GTA 4 on Playstation 3... I was stuck in the past and it's one of the best memories I'll never regret!
I haven't played new games since 2012
It should be noted that the entire launch library, and a large number of subsequent game releases for the Odyssey2 were written by a single coder...who was not even a coder, but an Intel salesman.
He single-handedly kept the Odyssey2 in 2nd place behind Atari for many years until the system was discontinued with the video game crash, and Phillips exited the video game space.
His name was Ed Averett and he deserves a spot in the video game hall of fame and an honourable mention here.
nice time to do my part and buy more switch games
i expected super nintendo hiigher
Considering the insane amount of pirated games for the ps2 it is safe to say that it's the most played console in history. Also, could anyone tell me how did the Master System sell more games than the SNES? It's just crazy to me.
I think the Playstation sells are just inflated due to Fifa zombies etc
The Wii outsold the 360 and the PS3 so those numbers are wrong. The 360 numbers sold has an asterisk on it because most bought more than 1 because of the red ring of death.
PS2 numbers are at least 3 or 4 times higher, as software piracy was a hugh thing that time.
didn't expect ps4 to sell that much. I suppose ps5 will go to top once GTA 6 is released. I'll buy ps5 pro just for that game in waiting for PC release.
There's no point in this rating for 2 last generations, as Game Pass and PSN greatly affect game sales.
Yes there is.
There are still numbers on what was sold on digital stores and physical… game pass technically can’t count towards “sales” as would watched on Netflix ain’t the same as picking up the Blu-ray. But if u rating on “players” then yeh give up as do all the f2p count too.
It's strange that during the crash of the video games industry in 1983, the games sold doesn't seem to slow down.
Como resistieron los 8 bits a los 16 bits! Pase por la generación de los que tuvieron una Atari, un Famicom, un Sega Génesis y hasta ahí, luego todo en la PC.
Ain’t no way in hell that the N64 sold more games than genesis.
Figures not correct ps3 outsold xbox 360 and sega megadrive or Genesis was ahead in Sales till 1993 ?
No Xbox Series X Data?
Didn't sell enough to crack the top 12.
@@Squidly.Yep. It's that inferior to the PlayStation 😂
Xbox stopped reporting sales in 2015
@lightyagami3492
My guy the ONLY PlayStation where the best selling game was a first party title was the first PlayStation, every Xbox aside from the One had a first party seller, as have every system from SEGA and Nintendo.
How's that superior?
Stop the plastic box happy slaps "console war" stuff, it's not 1990 where they actually meant something anymore.
None of us have any skin in this game.
Platform is known to be almost digital on game sales.
And gamepass shortened numbers, for sure.
Hard to believe up to January 2024 there are no Xbox series S or X sales recorded? (Also no WiiU or Game Cube?)
PS2 PLEASE GOOD GAME CONSOLE❤
Sir that's the total sold not most popular
Where is Commodore64 and Amiga500 ? :)
Unfortunately, C64 and Amiga are not considered game consoles. They are 'just' personal computers with gaming capabilities. I would've loved to see C64 and Amiga on this too.
Song name?
song?
Best selling video game franchises pls ❤
Switch has a Good inside chance to beat PS4’s Lifetime software sales and I have both systems but I personally S Tier and GOAT the PS4! 😎
Nintendo walked Atari down!
Hmm ..April end was : ps2=158,7 N DS= 154,02 and Switch= 139,86. Game Boy = 118,69..
I'm honestly surprised Xbox Series X|S stil isn't even on the chart

Ps2 doesn’t deserve to be in 1st that title should belong to the ds
Even as a portable console that’s cheaper and heavily marketed to children, it still doesn’t beat the PS2.
Which console is the best?

Game Pass keeps game sales low
Most gamers buy games on their PS5 and use Xbox as a second console for Gamepass. Sales are therefore low
Can the Switch put Nintendo back on top for the first time in over 20 years, or will the PS5 be able to catch up and continue Sony's reign of dominance over the venerable 130+ year old company that single-handedly saved the entire industry 40 years ago?
The recent barrage of Pokemon games has certainly helped Nintendo, but they need to get back on top before GTA 6 comes out.
...speaking of the sixth game in a series, isn't it about time to start thinking about Super Smash Bros. 6? Mario Kart 9, maybe? Pikmin 5? Even a revival of the Star Fox series? Nintendo has so many options.
The last Smash Bros was called Ultimate and ultimate means "last". How can there be another?
Will it be called "Smash Bros Ultimate: This Time We Mean It"?
@DS9TREK
"This time we mean it"

Thanks for the laugh bruh

ps3 & xb360 sales over Wii ??
Interesting to note is also that all those digital-only titles in the Nintendo eShop on the Switch are not counted by Nintendo towards Software sales. If they were, then the Switch would probably already had overtaken the PS2 a long time ago...
I'm from the future. The Google Gamestation X-Fusion brain chip was sold over 8 Billion times. Only available for Metaverse 3.0 or higher. Get your brain port now.
PS2 is the best gaming console ever made. It was seriously unbeatable in it's prime, and it ages very, very well today. PS4 has recaptured some of PS2's magic.
It's too bad commodore is not on this list.
No, It isn't the best. Its extremely overrated
@SecondaryYoshi50Win you are entitled to your opinion. However, the numbers don't lie. PS2 is (still) the best selling console ever, and with highest number of games sold, only challenged by it's own successor and Switch. That is no coincidence.
@@AlexPaulsen1 Oh for sure. Dude’s clearly just trolling. Not to mention he wears his nintendo fanboyism on his sleeve
I would say 360 or the Wii but okay
Nintendo made a lot of money for sure
PS5 PRO will continue the console wars till PS6 💪🏁
THE DOMINANT OF 2027 WILL BE THE PLAYSTATION 6
Ps5: where is astro bot

PS5 sales were destroyed by scalpers. They were selling for $1,000 now their $300 used lol
PS4 : "Who TF are YOU?!"
Nintendo Switch: "I'm your latest rival"
PS5 and Xbox One: *Comfort each other in the corner*
Sega: "How am I still alive? 😥"
Also, HOW DID PEOPLE PLAY SUPER MARIO BROS IN JAN OF 1985, IT WAS RELEASED IN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER
Sega Master System did better than Genesis. I never knew that.

Mal el gráfico, PS2 no ha vendido eso en la vida, todo era pirata en esa consola, las ventas de Nintendo, en software, estoy seguro que supera en muchas consolas a cualquier otra del mercado.
