Same age here ... our first console was the Intellivision. I wanted to take it apart and figure out how it worked, and now all these years later I realize that is probably why I work in IT today.
Both companies shot themselves in the foot several times, which is just sad, TBH. I still have my Atari 2600 as well, and almost a complete collection of (just about) every game ever made for it (during its original run, not including homebrews that are still being released).
The original NES will always be my favorite. It was the first console we owned and was a gift from my uncle after someone promised to give me their old Atari, but gave it to someone else. My uncle and grandma brought it home and I never heard of it before, but it was awesome.
Yeah, the NES and SNES were my jam. I'd never even heard of these other consoles as a kid in the NES days. For me, it just feels like the beginning of video games, with everybody else following(or even copying) that.
@@reichtanglevictor1694 And Sega officially stopped making consoles in 2001. It took the Xbox almost 10 years in a very hot console market to overtake a company who put up most of their sales in the 80s and 90s, a time when console ownership was significantly less common than it is today (as evidenced by how much more quickly the sales figures grow in the post-2000 portion of this video). That's not a slight against the Xbox or the 360, though, it's just a result of Microsoft's inability to break into Asian markets in their early days on the console market. If you're not viewed as a competitor to the likes of Sony & Nintendo in the large Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, etc. gaming markets, then of course you're going to struggle to catch up to those two
Yeah but in the 90s, it was big numbers for video games. It was not as known at that time. Sega & Nintendo contributed to that success. The Nes and the Snes are considered huge success. But if it was in our time, it would be a flop. Things have changed now
Video games today just aren’t as fun like they were back in the day so many game companies with lazy ideas and just focus on graphics its sad because I was a huuuggeee gamer but even today’s games I think ps2, ps3, GameCube, Xbox and Xbox 360 era will always be the best era ever. I still haven’t seen one game for PS5 that’s interesting at all
@@Vagorim I agree and another issue that I think doesn't get brought up as much is games are stale because there's only so many things you can do for a certain type of game with the same type of controller layout every generation.. it's not like when we went from Nintendo to Super Nintendo to PlayStation..I would say the last time it felt fresh was PlayStation 2 Xbox 360 days now you know okay this shooting game for PlayStation 5 is going to be the same button layout as it was for PlayStation 4 ps3 and ps2 and so on and so on for every game genre..only the graphics improve besides that we are getting the same things for the last 20 years basically..
I was shocked that Atari didn't do anything with their lead and fizzled out. They were the top player, and if they had played their cards right, innovated, and were financially prudent, they would easily be above Sony today...
@@JosephDalrymple That happens a lot in business. Blockbuster suffered the same fate when they couldn't see the writing on the wall regarding streaming taking over the home video market. AT&T also was on the verge of collapse at one point when digital cell service appeared and they waited too long to get on the train; they eventually recovered largely due to iPhone exclusivity when it first came out. Like many leading companies Atari got complacent and rather than spend to innovate they tried to cling to the status quo and they paid for it. Only reason they stuck around as long as they did was because of the Lynx and Jaguar and their effort to take over the handheld market but the affordability and versatility of the Game Boy killed their hopes there as well.
The Atari 2600 was ubiquitous. It's the system that started the video game craze and so many people had them. Atari's downfall was that they designed and started producing the 7800, but then left it sitting on warehouse shelves until the NES came out and took over. Plus Nintendo actually offered to pay Atari to put their brand on the NES but they refused, a mistake they would regret. Regardless, Atari was a totally different company by then compared to the one Alan Bushnell created in the 70s, and now it's nothing but a brand.
My first console was back around 1977, give or take. I was a gamer before gaming was a thing. Still to this day I love gaming and I’m now 52. What a ride it’s been seeing those early days of graphics etc compared to the graphics of today. I’m looking to seeing what the future brings.
Same brother. I’m 53. Been playing since pong. Seen and played every generation. What this video doesn’t reflect is pc gaming. Commodore 64 then a 386 pc and so on. I’m sure you were there too.
Don’t care how old or how unpopular the others are. They’ve all done their best to make the childhood of many great, and I would try every single one of them if I could.
You also got to remember. When the PS2 came out, it was the cheapest DVD player you could buy at that time. So a games station that also could play DVDs was a plus
@@Solo-Skywalker still have no clue how xbox managed to win that generation. Other than Halo and maybe Gears of War there wasn't a reason to get an xbox. There's even less reason to get an xbox these days.
@@Horible4 No PS3 still managed to won over Xbox 360 by few million units. The PS3 have long legs still releasing 1st party exclusives right up to PS4 launch year. Xbox 360 were dried up fast during their push for Kinect.
I'm a PC guy, but if we are talking consoles released from 1972 - 1999, then the Dreamcast and the N64 are my two picks over every other console released between that time period. The best FPS games and Best Arcade Light Gun Shooter games of that entire era (1972 - 1999) are on those two consoles, and that's my jam.
Everyone remembers when the PS2 legitimately shattered records in its wake when it first came out. The PS2 was so influential to Sony's success in the Video game market. I still have mine proudly and it still works like a damn charm.
growing up we had to buy a couple more because they died but the one i have now has lasted a long time it died at one point and then came back to life some how and has no bad side effects from dying
I got a silver slim one that I've had for at least 15 years, would occasionally hope on it every once in a while to play Jurassic Park Operation Genesis and the OG Monster Hunter. Swear to god it actually performs better the older it gets, the loading times seem to be way faster then I remember, and I mean it's actually impressive how fast it loads.
The big issue with counting PS2 sales as "console sales" is that in the first half of it's active life it also was the cheapest DVD player on the market. I can still remember the days when half the kids in my elementary school, and their grand parents, had a PS2 but most had not much more than a demo disk that came with the system to play.
Flamware The "Nintendo Playstation" aka Super Disc was originally a joint venture between Nintendo and Sony. It was supposed to be an add-on to the SNES but unfortunately Nintendo and Sony could not agree to terms involving licensing as Sony would have benefited heavily from software licensing and would be the sole benefactor from music and movie licensing since they would retain control over the Super Disc itself, something Nintendo was uncomfortable with as you could imagine. The prototype system was already being produced, along with software to support it before the deal finally collapsed. Going forward, Sony would focus on developing a competitor system for the next generation of consoles known as the Playstation (heavily inspired by the Super Disc). So at the end of the day, Nintendo essentially helped create the prototype of their biggest competitor.
It's not only the powerful hardware, but the affordablity (outside of PS3) and just massive game library + quality compared to the other producers. Which has given them a trustworthy name in gaming imo. Something Nintendo just recovered from after wii u and Microsoft has really yet to recover from
With vita, ds, 3ds and switch Those are just flash ROMs. Cartridge is an entirely different beast - it's a separate board with passive components and chips of it's own
I'm glad Nintendo is still here fighting in the console business after more than 30 years and after the failure of Wiiu i'm happy they've found success again with the Switch. What a great time to be alive for Nintendo fans.
The Atari 2600 was the very first game console I played on in the 1980s! I still remember playing pac man on it! That was a major part of my childhood.
It’s still Microsoft and Sony. This graph shows total consoles sold in the companies history. Nintendo has had consoles since the 70’s, so they look bigger at the end than they actually are. Lots of those sales are for older models.
Nintendo must of had an executive change at that time because they decided not to adapt to the current generation like Sony and xbox. They gave the current generation what they wanted and Nintendo fell behind.
You seem to forget that this list is about consoles, not handhelds. Yes, we all know the VirtualBoy is horrible at being a portable handheld, but it was still a successor of sorts to the Gameboy.

After got my hands on big grey box with CD player at 1997,in Malysia it cost a fortune that console. My late father cant stand and got it on my birthday. I've pester him since my loaded cousin bought it in france 1996😂... always have and always will be the PS fanboy until now.

@@Yomellamocuchi1997 You did notice I said most right? Think any of the Sword Art on Line games or tales of Berseria or Persona 5 or... well I could go all day.

Some of my best memories is when me and my father plugged the Super Nintendo in back in 1991. Sun was bright, everyone was excited, and Super Mario brought so much laughter and fun!
@@Landstalker1999 yep. games were complete. no dlcs. no online..multiplayer was offline only. way more fun playing with family and friends at home than online. politics didnt affected games also. neither money. developers did with passion and had creativity, now they just recycle and copy.
@@flowrepins6663 Plenty of incredible games around now. Games have never been better, but nostalgia does work wonders. I still can't accept that any game is better than Final Fantasy 6 on my old SNES, even though I know that objectively there are better games out there.
Well they did have more than a decade head start on Microsoft so it was going to take them time to catch up not really crazy when you put it in perspective.
I still remember how excited I was when my sister and I got a Magnavox Odyssey for Christmas in the 70s. Family and friends spent hours playing pong on a black & white TV.
It's crazy how far we've come. I remember watching an Atari commercial on TV and not even understanding what was going on. People had a thing in their hand that is wired to the TV and they...controlled the screen?
@@johnmerisd.copiling2468 Between 54-61 years old is my guess. Console games out 49 years ago. Age 5 is when you have some of your earlier memories and develop intrest like this so he has to be atleast 54. So if the youngest he can be in 1972 is 5 then the oldest he could be in the 70's is 12(1979). 49+5 is 54 and 49+12 is 61. So between 54 and 61 years old so let's just split it right in the middle and say he's 58 years old. Ik it's creeping going through all this trouble to find a random strangers age lol.
N64 I feel was the best. Great multi player games and yelling at your friends for scene watching. The first xbox just having to do lan parties was a lot of fun. Having 10 guys over cables running everywhere tvs hooked up everywhere good times.
@@matthewwilliams9200 Be that as it may, it is still going to fail, probably as bad as the Ouya because of the Google Stadia's flaws. It'll be fun to watch, for more reasons than just it's failing, the Google Stadia ads are annoying to me, Idk why.
I like the sega saturn better than the ps1. I played DBZ final bout and goku's spirit bomb on the saturn looks great while on the ps1 it has polka dots.
Here in Alaska, we had something called the "Sega Channel" which was provided through our cable tv company for a fee. It was from like 94 to 98 if I remember right. That service was way better than going to blockbuster (at the time). It was probably the first DLC that I came across. This was before the internet took off. Anyone over the age of 35 is probably going to like this comment lol
@@splashbasketball4204 if you add the handhelds then Nintendo would be no 1. Honestly I dont understand why people always try to separate consoles from handhelds. Games are similar or even the same and most people play handhelds at home anyway.
@@gerudoqueenriju then you would also have to add PC gaming and then how do you define gaming pc from non gaming? Also it wouldn't be a contest cause 90% of PCs run on Microsoft software. They would blow Nintendo and Sony combined out of the race

I just recovered my old Sega Master System II from my parent’s garage. Cleaned it and managed to plug it to a modern flat screen, channel 36 and played Alex Kid and Sonic after 25 years. It was like traveling back in time.
I loved Alex Kidd. I only played a bit of it at friends' houses but it hooked me. Some games do that - I remember wandering into a Virgin Megastore, and they had a PS1 with Tomb Raider as a demo machine. I wasn't that interested, I had an N64 at that point I think, but I started playing and time just seemed to stop. My mum came and found me an hour later and I don't think I'd looked away from the screen in all that time.
I would argue that, at least by the era of the 3DS, handhelds should be counted too. The 3DS could play enough of the same games as home consoles to make a sizable competitor for Xbox and PlayStation, and since then the distinction has only gotten blurrier
They weren’t rivals in the beginning. They were more like a divorced couple. PlayStation started as a child of Nintendo and Sony. Then Nintendo abandoned the Playstation and adopted Philips instead(worst business move ever). Sony then decided to adopt and raise the PlayStation all by themselves. Several years later, that kid became the greatest console in history.
PlayStation gamer i’m twenty years old and i own both a switch and a ps4. If you think nintendo its for kid you don’t even know what gaming is, Nintendo games has and still do history of gaming.
With the exception of the PS2, we got an xbox for that gen, we were and still are a Sony house, but my cousins had the 64/GameCube/and Dreamcast, I don’t remember much about the Dreamcast, except that the controller felt absolutely perfect in my hands, the weight, the hand position, everything about it felt more natural then all the other controllers, and always wished you could get controllers for modern consoles, but in the fit and form of retro controllers, with the couple extra buttons we have today. How cool would it be to have a fully functional wireless PS5 controller, but it looks and feels like a Dreamcast or N64 controller? I’m surprised there isn’t a market for that already, with all the weird avenues console accessories have gone down over the years.
I mean. I think it sold like 50k total? Something so small it would be impossible to even sit beside the companies who haven't made consoles in forever
As a Sony and Nintendo fan ( grew up with both) it's not surprising at all. I really wanna see this with the handhelds included too! Both consoles have such good ip's and memories for me.
The surprise is Nintendo is truly the only really committed video game company. Microsoft and Sony don’t do anything except make copies of copies of copies of old systems a little faster each generation. Nintendo is the only one pushing innovation. Without them, we wouldn’t have the thumbs sticks or gyro aiming.
@@Creshex8 Innovation ? You mean the Wii that was bought by millions of people just to play some bowling for a week and than put away in the closet next to the monopoly ? Or the 3ds where Nintendo stopped using the 3d because nobody was using it because of headache and than made the 2ds ? The WiiU a useless tablet that nobody understood it's utility ? You call it innovation, I call it a scam, a marketing strategy to impress people and hook them. The Switch was a great idea poorly executed : joycon drift , not confy at all , poor hardware. Even games wise they port old Wii and WiiU games to the Switch . They are recyling old ip's over and over , Mario Kart, Smash, Super Mario, Mario Bros. rarely dev something new, in my opinion Nintendo was a pioneer in the gaming industry and made revolutionnary choices 30 years ago but now they are just outdated and out of touch . They are the boomers of the gaming industry. From Ocarina of Time to Skyward Sword it was always the same formula .It took them litteraly 20 years to change the formula and made Link finaly jump when ever we wanted to in BOTW. Pokémon is the slowest evolving game in the gaming industry , so ironic coming from a game that is talking about evolution lmao. I know that Game Freak is behind that game but still , can't Nintendo just help them out do better ? The times of Nintendo's "Seal of Quality" are far behind. And now in 2021 Nintendo recycles old Mario Party maps and mini-games and sell it full price and fans are happy. Their Nintendo Online service is so bad and unstable but now for a couple of extra cash you can play 9 N64 games and 9 Megadrive games on your Switch. Isn't that revolutionnary ?
@@liquidbruce9787 idk what u did with ur Wii... But I definitely played way more with that than any other console at the time... Still use my DS/3ds on occasion, switch is awesome (not super comfy I'll give u that, but easily remedied with a simple case or pro controller). Xbox/PS console wise are essentially just reskins with slight updates in power, performance, etc. They only stay alive because of the 3rd party game designers putting out the games. (Ik Nintendo gate keeps what games are available which is dumb on their part but I digress).
@@liquidbruce9787 sorry, but your response is really stupid. Ever hear of a game called Resident Evil 4? The game that showed the Wii pointer turning game’s handgun into a sniper rifle? That was just the beginning of Nintendo showing off the power of its new innovations. I had two generations of DS’s and they were my favorite portables of all time, with plenty of library to choose from… once again, the stylus system was absolutely amazing, and greatly sped up the interface. And now what do I do if I want to play Overwatch with gyro aiming on a console? Oh, make that practically any FPS shooter for that matter? Doom, Metro, etc? Can I go over to the PlayStation 4, which has had gyro on the controllers for a LOOOOOONG time and play some of those FPS games with it? How about the new PS5? Can’t go to Xbox, no gyro..:. So where do I go?????? Oh that’s right! The slower hybrid system, the Nintendo Switch! So what’s the eta for gyro aiming on the PlayStation? Another 10 years? What an embarrassment. I rest my case.

I was shocked that Atari didn't do anything with their lead and fizzled out. They were the top player, and if they had played their cards right, innovated, and were financially prudent, they would easily be above Sony today...
@@JosephDalrymple they were also the reason people stopped playing video games entirely
Look up the video game crash of 83
@@JosephDalrymple That happens a lot in business. Blockbuster suffered the same fate when they couldn't see the writing on the wall regarding streaming taking over the home video market. AT&T also was on the verge of collapse at one point when digital cell service appeared and they waited too long to get on the train; they eventually recovered largely due to iPhone exclusivity when it first came out. Like many leading companies Atari got complacent and rather than spend to innovate they tried to cling to the status quo and they paid for it. Only reason they stuck around as long as they did was because of the Lynx and Jaguar and their effort to take over the handheld market but the affordability and versatility of the Game Boy killed their hopes there as well.
The Atari 2600 was ubiquitous. It's the system that started the video game craze and so many people had them. Atari's downfall was that they designed and started producing the 7800, but then left it sitting on warehouse shelves until the NES came out and took over. Plus Nintendo actually offered to pay Atari to put their brand on the NES but they refused, a mistake they would regret. Regardless, Atari was a totally different company by then compared to the one Alan Bushnell created in the 70s, and now it's nothing but a brand.
That caught my eye too. I didn’t even know they were still selling by 1988!

My first console was back around 1977, give or take. I was a gamer before gaming was a thing. Still to this day I love gaming and I’m now 52.
What a ride it’s been seeing those early days of graphics etc compared to the graphics of today. I’m looking to seeing what the future brings.
Same brother. I’m 53. Been playing since pong. Seen and played every generation. What this video doesn’t reflect is pc gaming. Commodore 64 then a 386 pc and so on. I’m sure you were there too.
Same here, i'm 52 and have been playing since the Atari 2600.
Yea it's crazy that now you can play up to 6th console generation on your phone with help of emulation
47 Here remember having a Atari 2600 then Nintendo to Sega from Sega to Playstation as it has been playstation since still gaming strong.
Damn I’m only 27 y’all is old
Don’t care how old or how unpopular the others are. They’ve all done their best to make the childhood of many great, and I would try every single one of them if I could.
This gratitude towards life and everything is a very unique quality and is certainly a gift from the divine.
That's just so true😇

Yeah that true
I hear that, there are others out here!
You also got to remember. When the PS2 came out, it was the cheapest DVD player you could buy at that time.
So a games station that also could play DVDs was a plus
They did the same thing on the PS3 with a Blu-ray.

Damn that price tag on dream cast was incredible. What a system for only $199(310 today money)
I'm a PC guy, but if we are talking consoles released from 1972 - 1999, then the Dreamcast and the N64 are my two picks over every other console released between that time period.
The best FPS games and Best Arcade Light Gun Shooter games of that entire era (1972 - 1999) are on those two consoles, and that's my jam.
*War between consoles starts*
Magnavox: Oh,they grow up so fast...
HAHHAHAHA
Everyone remembers when the PS2 legitimately shattered records in its wake when it first came out. The PS2 was so influential to Sony's success in the Video game market. I still have mine proudly and it still works like a damn charm.
growing up we had to buy a couple more because they died but the one i have now has lasted a long time it died at one point and then came back to life some how and has no bad side effects from dying
Idk what happened to my ps2 I might still have it but playing games on that and the original ps was the best.
They were built like tanks if got a good one.
I got a silver slim one that I've had for at least 15 years, would occasionally hope on it every once in a while to play Jurassic Park Operation Genesis and the OG Monster Hunter. Swear to god it actually performs better the older it gets, the loading times seem to be way faster then I remember, and I mean it's actually impressive how fast it loads.
The big issue with counting PS2 sales as "console sales" is that in the first half of it's active life it also was the cheapest DVD player on the market. I can still remember the days when half the kids in my elementary school, and their grand parents, had a PS2 but most had not much more than a demo disk that came with the system to play.
Nintendo will forever regret making the beta version of the Playstation......
What d y mean?
Flamware The "Nintendo Playstation" aka Super Disc was originally a joint venture between Nintendo and Sony.
It was supposed to be an add-on to the SNES but unfortunately Nintendo and Sony could not agree to terms involving licensing as Sony would have benefited heavily from software licensing and would be the sole benefactor from music and movie licensing since they would retain control over the Super Disc itself, something Nintendo was uncomfortable with as you could imagine.
The prototype system was already being produced, along with software to support it before the deal finally collapsed.
Going forward, Sony would focus on developing a competitor system for the next generation of consoles known as the Playstation (heavily inspired by the Super Disc).
So at the end of the day, Nintendo essentially helped create the prototype of their biggest competitor.
PlayStation is the king of games !!
@@MarcosKratos33 yeah thanks to nintendo helping them
I'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't regret much. They printing money like mad.

Sony is strong as heck :v
It's not only the powerful hardware, but the affordablity (outside of PS3) and just massive game library + quality compared to the other producers. Which has given them a trustworthy name in gaming imo. Something Nintendo just recovered from after wii u and Microsoft has really yet to recover from

n64 was a home console, but the switch was a handheld, you're kind of getting the right idea
Last "home" console. Switch is portative.

I just recovered my old Sega Master System II from my parent’s garage. Cleaned it and managed to plug it to a modern flat screen, channel 36 and played Alex Kid and Sonic after 25 years. It was like traveling back in time.
💯💯💯
I loved Alex Kidd. I only played a bit of it at friends' houses but it hooked me. Some games do that - I remember wandering into a Virgin Megastore, and they had a PS1 with Tomb Raider as a demo machine. I wasn't that interested, I had an N64 at that point I think, but I started playing and time just seemed to stop. My mum came and found me an hour later and I don't think I'd looked away from the screen in all that time.
Why is it always channel 36 😂
He's gonna take you back to the past.
@XSAVIER busy it worked just fine on my flat screen… Not gonna play everyday either. But thanks for the tip 👌🏻
Nintendo: Beats the first PlayStation
Also Nintendo: wait why is there another health bar?
Lol
Sony clearly took over this market. But if we add both consoles and handhelds, it's a way closer match
@@williamhuynh869 Yes, very true. Just trying to make a joke.
Lmao, it's like a boss with 2nd phase
I would argue that, at least by the era of the 3DS, handhelds should be counted too. The 3DS could play enough of the same games as home consoles to make a sizable competitor for Xbox and PlayStation, and since then the distinction has only gotten blurrier
Me: Nintendo was Sony’s true rival all this time?
Nintendo: Always have been
J C lol
Riyadh Uddin because they are targeted at different people typically
They weren’t rivals in the beginning. They were more like a divorced couple. PlayStation started as a child of Nintendo and Sony. Then Nintendo abandoned the Playstation and adopted Philips instead(worst business move ever). Sony then decided to adopt and raise the PlayStation all by themselves. Several years later, that kid became the greatest console in history.
James PlayStation is the greatest console in history. Even Guinness World Record says so.
PlayStation gamer i’m twenty years old and i own both a switch and a ps4. If you think nintendo its for kid you don’t even know what gaming is, Nintendo games has and still do history of gaming.
People: Wii is amazing!
Nintendo some years later: adds it a U
People:
*N O*
I’m the guy that has a Wii and a xBox360 XD
Wii u N O

@@AyaanThe0ne Ay, me too!
The big went N went "oh shit we pissed Sony off"
I really like the pop-up style of update to your videos. Great extra information.
One thing was missed though: the sudden surge in Atari sales in 1980, that was down to Space Invaders
Pop up video from vh1 style
With the exception of the PS2, we got an xbox for that gen, we were and still are a Sony house, but my cousins had the 64/GameCube/and Dreamcast, I don’t remember much about the Dreamcast, except that the controller felt absolutely perfect in my hands, the weight, the hand position, everything about it felt more natural then all the other controllers, and always wished you could get controllers for modern consoles, but in the fit and form of retro controllers, with the couple extra buttons we have today.
How cool would it be to have a fully functional wireless PS5 controller, but it looks and feels like a Dreamcast or N64 controller? I’m surprised there isn’t a market for that already, with all the weird avenues console accessories have gone down over the years.
You mean gamepads.
I remember in the early 2000 getting an Playstation 2 for a christmas present
Consoles never get old
I’d rather have a ps2 than a ps3 I have a ps2 slim
But books always get old (:
Wait a minute how'd u get a Christmas present in the early 2000 like Christmas is in the end of the year or am I stupid
Abraham Chavez I think he meant the late 2000s
Stadia has joined the game 8:16
Stadia has left the game 8:16
Stadia tried to join the game but lagged out.
I mean. I think it sold like 50k total? Something so small it would be impossible to even sit beside the companies who haven't made consoles in forever
😂😂🤣🤣
Yeah he should update this
It seems Stadia is going down along side other horrible gaming systems, such as Lazer Active, CDI and 3D0.
Idk what's more impressive, Nintendo staying in the top 3 for so long or Sony rising to number 1 in such a short time.
As a Sony and Nintendo fan ( grew up with both) it's not surprising at all. I really wanna see this with the handhelds included too! Both consoles have such good ip's and memories for me.
The surprise is Nintendo is truly the only really committed video game company. Microsoft and Sony don’t do anything except make copies of copies of copies of old systems a little faster each generation. Nintendo is the only one pushing innovation. Without them, we wouldn’t have the thumbs sticks or gyro aiming.
@@Creshex8 Innovation ? You mean the Wii that was bought by millions of people just to play some bowling for a week and than put away in the closet next to the monopoly ? Or the 3ds where Nintendo stopped using the 3d because nobody was using it because of headache and than made the 2ds ? The WiiU a useless tablet that nobody understood it's utility ? You call it innovation, I call it a scam, a marketing strategy to impress people and hook them. The Switch was a great idea poorly executed : joycon drift , not confy at all , poor hardware.
Even games wise they port old Wii and WiiU games to the Switch . They are recyling old ip's over and over , Mario Kart, Smash, Super Mario, Mario Bros. rarely dev something new, in my opinion Nintendo was a pioneer in the gaming industry and made revolutionnary choices 30 years ago but now they are just outdated and out of touch . They are the boomers of the gaming industry.
From Ocarina of Time to Skyward Sword it was always the same formula .It took them litteraly 20 years to change the formula and made Link finaly jump when ever we wanted to in BOTW. Pokémon is the slowest evolving game in the gaming industry , so ironic coming from a game that is talking about evolution lmao. I know that Game Freak is behind that game but still , can't Nintendo just help them out do better ? The times of Nintendo's "Seal of Quality" are far behind.
And now in 2021 Nintendo recycles old Mario Party maps and mini-games and sell it full price and fans are happy. Their Nintendo Online service is so bad and unstable but now for a couple of extra cash you can play 9 N64 games and 9 Megadrive games on your Switch. Isn't that revolutionnary ?
@@liquidbruce9787 idk what u did with ur Wii... But I definitely played way more with that than any other console at the time... Still use my DS/3ds on occasion, switch is awesome (not super comfy I'll give u that, but easily remedied with a simple case or pro controller). Xbox/PS console wise are essentially just reskins with slight updates in power, performance, etc. They only stay alive because of the 3rd party game designers putting out the games. (Ik Nintendo gate keeps what games are available which is dumb on their part but I digress).
@@liquidbruce9787 sorry, but your response is really stupid. Ever hear of a game called Resident Evil 4? The game that showed the Wii pointer turning game’s handgun into a sniper rifle? That was just the beginning of Nintendo showing off the power of its new innovations. I had two generations of DS’s and they were my favorite portables of all time, with plenty of library to choose from… once again, the stylus system was absolutely amazing, and greatly sped up the interface. And now what do I do if I want to play Overwatch with gyro aiming on a console? Oh, make that practically any FPS shooter for that matter? Doom, Metro, etc? Can I go over to the PlayStation 4, which has had gyro on the controllers for a LOOOOOONG time and play some of those FPS games with it? How about the new PS5? Can’t go to Xbox, no gyro..:. So where do I go?????? Oh that’s right! The slower hybrid system, the Nintendo Switch!
So what’s the eta for gyro aiming on the PlayStation? Another 10 years? What an embarrassment. I rest my case.
Come back Sega. We need you.
