It was a time when games were made to be fun and good value, not to be money extracting machines for executives and shareholders. The game design philosophy was totally different to what it is today.
Been on the fence about buying one of these since I bought my PS3 at Christmas. Took the plunge last night after watching your videos all week. Very excited about it. Just bought CoD 2 and Vice City. Can’t wait to get stuck into them. Loving your content. Thank you
Best selling console of all time and just ordered one with 10 games for £50 and load other classics on PS2. Cant wait play Simpsons Hit and Run and classic like Driver and Battlefront 2.
I will always have a ps2 maybe I’ll turn it on maybe not but to look at it and appreciate remember when I didn’t have responsibilities feels like a privilege.
Console gaming started sucking after PS2. Playing all my old games, no updates needed, on PCSX2 upscaled with a DualSense 5 and it's all new fun all over again.
its crazy you only have almost 600 subs, im calling it now, your going to BLOW UP (in a good way lol). the editing quality and humor is great and hilarious! keep up the great work!
The funny thing is, when I considered buying one of these, I realized that despite the massive library of games, almost none of them seem appealing to me, and a lot of the ones that do I already played to death on the PC or Xbox back in the day, such as GTA 3, VC, San Andreas, Tony Hawk's Underground, NFS Underground - basically the only games I could find that peaked my interest were platformers like Jak and Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, and Sly Cooper series - also God of War I guess. Meanwhile on the PS3 and PS4 I have close to 100 games each and it's not nostalgia as I grew up in the PS1 and PS2 era. Strange phenomenon.
I Hope no other Console beat the PS2 as the Best Selling Console. The PS2 deserves that Title because: 1. Quality Titles. 2. I don’t have to Download the Game just to play it. 3. It is a Movie Player. 4. It is a CD Player. 5. It is Backwards Compatible. 6. It costed $200 for the Entire Console even with an Included Memory Card unlike the PS5 Pro with No Stand, no Games, and no Disc Drive. 7. It has incredible Graphics. 8. The Game Library. 9. I would pay any price for one. It is definitely worth it.
I used to think the 7th generation was the worst, actually. You had a system that didn't do HD and catered to the casual audience, a system with a 56% failure rate, Sony being over confident and nearly killing their brand, and the beginning of the modern AAA game that doesn't innovate or do anything different. Now I realize we are currently in the worst generation because of the awful business practices we are seeing, and unfinished repetitive games. They honestly remind me of what I've heard about the products during the video game crash of 1983... nothing but the same unfinished crap over and over.
Some have speculated that the Nintendo Switch could possibly beat the PS2 and become the best selling console but I think it really depends on what their next moves are. It is expected Nintendo is going to release their next console in 2024 so it will depend on whether/how long they continue supporting the Nintendo Switch and whether their next console is backwards compatible with Switch games. If it is then the PS2 will remain at the top since there will be no more reason to buy the Switch anymore when you can just play those games on the newer console instead.
Brother i started my gaming on a Spectrum when i was 4 years old, im 38 by the way, the PlayStation 1 is absolutely beautiful ...the PS2 is a rectangle on top of a smaller rectangle...don't even compare the two xD, the only beautiful thing on PS2 is the part you are showing us with the blue letters, that was pretty but cmon.....its a rectangle on top of a smaller rectangle, doesn't look good at all, now the First ps3....oh yeah piece of art.
Well if the ps2 also had dead or alive 2 ultimate then I could possibly agree that it is the best console but it doesn’t so I’m gonna have to say xbox is the best console. It also has republic commando where ps2 does not. But ps2 had resident evil 4 and the force unleashed going for it at least.

I agree. Times were very different back then. I do miss playing on the old consoles every once in a while.
Its always been about money (isnt everything) but i agree that games were also made to be fun back then, much better than todays games
The jump from ps1 to ps2 was huge and amazing.
It was probably the last generation where big developers were happy to take risks on new IPs and weird genres. They were the golden days, my friend 😎👍

It still is the King. No other Console has beat it.

PS3 games generally only have minor updates - it's with the PS4 era when the big day one patches started becoming the norm.
its crazy you only have almost 600 subs, im calling it now, your going to BLOW UP (in a good way lol). the editing quality and humor is great and hilarious! keep up the great work!

In 2024 - I prefer ps2 over ps5 and that's it
hey, your thumbnail makes you look like Eminem. PS2 is the GOAT as well
Blockbusters logo was blue and yellow
Only if PS2 stands for Sega Saturn!
PS2 was one of the greatest sequels of all time.

"7 days!!!' shows 6 fingers
You look like Eminem
Did you buy these older consoles from a company or just random people on eBay?
Keep doing
Need to mention bully game

It was a world and ecosystem in its self
How old are you if you don't mind me asking??
The 🐐 king ps2
One thing to consider on why the PS2 is the most sold console in history: piracy.
Original XBOX all day 💯💯
Real ogs tried all consoles back then
Well if the ps2 also had dead or alive 2 ultimate then I could possibly agree that it is the best console but it doesn’t so I’m gonna have to say xbox is the best console. It also has republic commando where ps2 does not. But ps2 had resident evil 4 and the force unleashed going for it at least.
Hell no. Ps2 was trash
Bruh ps2 was the king then literally😂😂 xbox had no games gamecube fell off as soon as it came out
@@Southized Xbox had much more multiple platforms games compered to GC, Xbox over 800 games and GC over 600 games
No, PS1 is.
If the switch beats this console in sales I'll cry cause the switch is a total scam
Disagree
Scam???
