PS2 Still holds up very well
@@danielsantiagourtado3430 Yeah
You said it! ALL HAIL THE GREATEST VIDEO GAME CONSOLE OF ALL TIME!
Pretty easy with no competition
@@atasker7432no. Hail to God. And Jesus Christ.
And then there's shitbox
You know it really sucks that the GameCUbe didn't sell very well, the library was AMAZING and it had the GB Player
The GBA link was cool too for games like Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals and LoZ four swords on gamecube.
All they had to do was NOT market it as the little kiddie Lunchbox, make it look Darker for an older audience and it would have done well
@@SrtRacerBoy I bought the black one and had a Hal9000 sticker on it (the red ai light from 2001: A Space Odyssey).
@@corymoses2969 I had mine about a month after launch, so didn't get those options.
Kept it until shortly after finishing Mario Sunshine.
It was a great system that teenage me didn't appreciate enough at the time.
There was definitely a stigma owning a GameCube in those days.
Honestly, the problem is with the PlayStation two selling so phenomenally pretty much all the sales were gobbled up by that if the Xbox didn’t launch, I think the GameCube would’ve captured a solid 10 million from them and the PlayStation two didn’t sell as well. I think the GameCube would’ve ended the generation with nearly 50,000,000 units. They still wouldn’t have been the number one seller though.
I know the GameCube was considered a failure, but was one of my favorite consoles
Same
Same . I think my favorite game from it was Simpson hit and run. It would be nice to have a remastered version for the switch.
Same wish I had a coloured one but have boring black one
@@thegreenbee83 I had the purple one when I had it
@@Reaperguy67 I saw a translucent green one in a pic and wish I could swap mine for one!
Ps2 is my favorite console game. I still have ps2 until now 2024 👏
Gamecube will probably always be my favorite, RE1make, RE4, wind waker, fire emblem path of radiance, that dope zelda collectors disc, billy hatcher, sonic adventure 2, nba street vol 2.
Twilight Princess, Paper Mario: 1,000-Year Door.
Zelda collector edition holds a soft spot in my heart, my childhood memories in one disc
"So that's the new Super Nintendo Entertainment System. They say it has 16 bit technology whatever that means?!"
I'm dying, laughed longer than I should.
prob because you are immature
I dont think any console will ever top the ps2. Back then, an even more advanced ps1 with a built in dvd player was just TOO GOOD to pass up
The Switch is getting closer and closer. It might even outsell it by March of next year
@@EbolaGWespecially with Legends Z-A coming out: get ready for the switch sales to go up 😉
@@elizabethazzinaro8457 Plus Metroid Prime 4 and another Mario Party, while I'm not sure how MP4 will do, Mario Party is no doubt gonna be a seller
In terms of sales? By all accounts, the Switch is going to do it within a few months.
The Switch can do it
Great video! I miss the retro aesthetics and the quality of games/tech 'Made in Japan'. I'd also add some Double Dragon and Metal Slug into the mix out of sheer sentiment. I was so close to visiting Japan at one point. I had experience with MoCap and in late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the Resident Evil 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part and I can't forgive myself for wasting such an opportunity to visit the place that inspired artists like Toriyama San. R.I.P. and movies like Akira and Ghost in the Shell.
That audition video on ur channel, is that you?? you got my vote bro!
I know it didn't save the company, but the Sega Dreamcast will always be one of my favorites.
It’s definitely a good console it shoulda sold more but at least it has great games on it like sonic adventure 1 etc the games I had for it was crazy taxi nba2k1 nfl2k1 power stone 2 and wwf royale rumble
@@erickcontreras113 Couldn't agree more! Power Stone was amazing!
PS2 is still the best selling console of all time 😍
Not for long, Nintendo Switch is projected to pass it soon.
@marcuszeus5552 too bad it's stuck in 2nd place now. It really isn't fair
@@knuclear200x
For now.
@devinmay3038 doubtful that it's going to gain and pass it. Sales have slowed and will continue to slow especially with the next system that's soon to come out. It needs to sell nearly 20mil units. So it's unlikely. It will probably close though.
@@densetsu4286
With the games recently announced? It'll definitely push a bit more
I had the NES, SNES, N64, PS1, 2, and 3, and now the Switch.
Best game for each. Mario 3, Mario kart, GoldenEye, FF7, Pro Evo, GTA, Mario Odyssey.
Bonus, I still play my 3DS when traveling.
7:13, I can listen to that score all day.
I still have my SNES plugged in next to my PS5. Shows what a legacy machine it was.
Wow wish I didn't sold my snes and ps1
Imagine when the Nintendo Switch 2 & PS6 are released with a VR Headset.
Vr is cringe
Nintendo Switch already has a VR Headset
@@I_love_MarioBros It’s not really perfected, considering that most VR Games from Apple & Android are more about motion oriented games. So when the Nintendo Switch creates their newest console, it’ll be more about VR than anything.
@@l-wolverine2211all I want out of Nintendo VR is the ability to pet my Pokemon ❤
Not the first time Nintendo tried the VR thing. In a time of ancient history known as 1995, they released the Virtual Boy. It was so much of a failure that it was discontinued in the same year.
PS2 is the greatest console ever in the history. It’s the golden era for gamers to experience the creativity of game designers without the consideration of political correctness and online only dlc shits. That good old times will never come back
Working at GameStop in the early 2000's was the best time for gaming!!! MS, Nintendo, and Sony! All battling for who's got the best system! Man that was a good time, especially when HD-DVD went up against Blu-Ray, and Hollywood decided for us all, and Blu-Ray won!😂. It was crazy to ALL HD-DVD stuff just die out within months!😂
Ps2 is the goat
No arguments there 👍
Yup
I argree with you on that , I still have my original PS2 to this day. Works like it's brand new in 2024. If you have one , I recommend getting a ps2 to HDMI adapter to use on a modern TV.
I still have mine
The PlayStation 5 and every other console of its generation doesn't deserve to make this list. The generation has provided absolutely nothing.
PS5 is keeping pace with PS4's sales trajectory so it will probably sell 120 million lifetime.
I always look back on PS1 and wander what were top 5 games? And struggle outside of Crash, final fantasy, Grand Turismo. Amazing it sold so well but was the time, looking back N64,SNeS and GAMECUBe software really created timeless classics and deserved more but people wanted the mature titles for the time
I still have my NES and GameCube systems 😅
When it comes to the game cube . I think my favorite game was the Simpsons hit and run and Mario Sunshine.
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! I remember owning quite a few titles for PS2, but ended up only playing GTA: SA at the end. 🤣
Makes me sad about the Dreamcast. It was ahead of its time and yet sold even less than the Wii U.
That's because Sega discontinued it after only 2 and a half years on the market, if it had a 5 year lifespan it probably would have sold more than Wii U.
FUN FACT: according to the former Sony Interactive Entertainment president Jim Ryan recent report, The PlayStation 2 has actually sold 160 Million and not 155 Million. That's because the 155M report was a year before PS2's discontinuation so Sony never updated the sales numbers
No it didnt he was just talking loosely and the point wasnt to specifically name the sales numbers of the ps2
@@isaigerbecks747 but it's more than 155M anyways. It could be 158M or 159M but he said 160M maybe because it's an easier number for rounding it up.
@@RenasMayi yeah i also think the ps2 is around that number to be honest
Excellent list

1. Super Nintendo Entertainment System

6. Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP
7. PlayStation Portable
8. Nintendo Wii
9. Nintendo 3DS XL

13. PlayStation 5
These are My Most Favorite Best Epic Selling Video Game Consoles of All Time throughout the years I'll NEVER forget. So Nostalgic.
I still have my old PS2, and I also have a silver slim model. PS2 is my favorite ❤ I also have a Wii, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Switch, PSP, PS Vita, DS Lite, DSi XL, and 2DS XL 😊 I have the most games for my PS2 though. 😅
Got my Nintendo DS about 12 years ago and it’s still working perfectly😮💨
All of these consoles are awesome! Glad to be seeing this within one hour of release
the psp 3000 in black or red was my everything.
I am surprised original xbox and Xbox one made the list but not GameCube it had an amazing library of games
I had all of these consoles and handhelds.
Plus others.
Still have 99% of them with me all these years later.
Even the 2600 is still working.
Wii U deserves more love after giving us Smash 4, Mario Maker, Splatoon, Woolly World, and other games
I still have the Wii u, I know if it sold worse then the Wii
@@waheedabdullah6371 name more then. Go on.
@@knuclear200x Bayonetta 2, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart , Nintendo Land, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Mario Bros. U
@@waheedabdullah6371 10 games is more? I don't think you know what more means
@@knuclear200x You try finishing a comment when your lunch break is over with a strict boss
I've owned GBA, Wii, DS, PS3, 3DS, PS4 and Switch
Honestly not surprising. Sega sort of rose with the genesis and fell with the Saturn and Dreamcast. While the GameCube was great it was overshadowed extremely by the Xbox and PS2. I had a 64 and I only played Pokemon stadium 1 & 2 on it but my brother would rent super smash brothers and ocarina of time and play those on it. I’m guessing the excitement of seeing beloved Nintendo exclusive characters make the jump to 3D is what made it sell enough to make this list. It’s not surprising all of PlayStation’s home consoles have made the list.
All of playstation being in the top 15 and 4 of em in the tpp ten really shows how dominant they are
Not all, the PS Vita only sold 16 million
Jesus Wept.
I've been gaming for over 40 years now.
This was a nostalgia trip, thanks.
The day the Wii released was an awesome day I had to work so I sent my parents out to get me one and although it was snowy and cold they spent around 5 hours waiting for the store to open
I grew up playing a lot of Super Nintendo and N64. I also played Sega Genesis and PS1 growing up. As a teenager My family had a GameCube and my older brother got the original Xbox. Somehow we never had a PS2 although my brother had a friend who had a PS2 so we played on there. When I learned that the Wii was going to be motion control I wanted to get one right away but I couldn't get one on day one. Got it about a month later waiting in front of target all night playing DS with a bunch of people I was waiting in line overnight with. Oh yes speaking of handheld, I did grow up with the Game Boy and I did also have a Game Boy Advance. And as I stated earlier I have a DS. I got the Wii U at launch and was the very first person at Target in my hometown to get it. The same target I had to wait overnight at to get a Wii so it really goes to show how little hype the Wii U had compared to the original Wii. A couple years later I did get a 2DS with pokémon y included. I do have a PS2 slim now although I haven't played it for years and it's in my storage unit. I also have a switch. Definitely my favorite console because I get to play a lot of The old games I grew up with and even discover some old games that I have found to be really awesome that I realized I missed out on back then and can enjoy now. Of course I enjoy a lot of the new games too like Super Smash Bros ultimate
PS2 was fire omg
I really miss the days of DS and Wii, I played those a LOT. I loved the PS2 and PS3 as well but I mostly used them for DVD and Blu-rays.
The PS2 has sold 160 million units as of April 2024 according to Jim Ryan. Prior to that, analyst Daniel Ahmed said the PS2 sales were anywhere from 158 million to 161 million.
Who thinks Nintendo Switch will dethrone PlayStation 2 for the best selling console of all time?
That was a great watch. I have a PS4, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo DS and a Nintendo 3DS. Though I hardly play the latter of the two.
Hoping Nintendo Switch takes over PS2.
Absolutely adore the PS2, but the fact that its sales were boosted due to the fact it was the cheapest DVD player on the market at the time.
At least the Nintendo Switch would be there for being nothing but a game console.
The Switch offers nothing in comparison though
@@knuclear200x Games, it offers games. Fun ones too, you should try it sometime.
The Switch has repeat buyers because it breaks after 12 months!
My launch day PS2 is still working like new!
@@alexcoupe. cope.
@Malet89 Switch still has repeat buyers though. Because they think handheld only and a large screen is useful and worth $50 more
Game Boy Advance SP was how I played classic games, like Yoshi's Island and the Legend of Zelda.
I finally upgraded to a PS5 from my PS4, and I'm glad I did as it's made gaming even better, especially Cyberpunk 2077, my all time favorite video game
I've had a couple of Nintendo portable years ago, don't even remember what models, but have never really been into mobile. Began gaming in the early 80', made a break around 1990 and started again in 1997 with the first Playstation (bought one just for FFVII and RE2) and never got anything else. I currently have a PS2, a PS3, a PS4 and two PS5 ... just in case 😅
I only owned 5 from this list, Family Computer/Nes, Sega Megadrive II, GB, PSP and 2DS/3DS.
It won’t be long until #3 becomes #1. Switch is the GOAT!
This comment spoke Facts
Facts my guy
Nintendo also the most gurbage gaming console corporation on the planet.
@@xfreejack001x That's a funny way of saying Sony
@@zachatck64 Sony is not the one taking down game Emulators, DMCA takedowns on youtube videos, fan projects, fan remasters... basically taking down whole internet while they sell you same game without any enhancement for 20th time for 60$. atleast Sony puts some efforts into their remasters.
Growing up(n64,ps1,2,psp)
Currently (psp vita,ps2,3,4,5,psp)
I had the original Ps2 and 46 games my favourites being Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion and GTA SAN Andreas I was surprised it was number 1 overall but that’s cool to find out
When it comes to PS2 , mine is kingdom hearts, midnight club dub edition remix and need for speed carbon. I still play those alot on the same PS2 that I had when it was brand new.
Surprised GameCube wasn't on this list. Also I feel handheld consoles should be on a different list lol.
Sales of 21.74 million means it's Nintendo's second worst selling system (Wii U did worse) although it doesn't deserve to be.
I still remember the PS2 was my first video game console back in 2001. I was 7.
started with N64, then gameboy color, Gameboy advanced sp, ps2, ps3, ps4, xbox one s and nintendo switch. I only have 3 consoles now, n64, nintendo switch and xbox one s
I literally miss the original Xbox. I used to play Midtown Madness 3 and Amped and Lego Star Wars the Video Game, which were my favorites. When I heard that the Xbox Series X would have backwards compatibility, I saw a glimmer of hope. I ended up buying Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on the Xbox, but it unfortunately didn’t work.
The original Xbox was my first ever console I played on back in the day when I was a kid, and I owned soo many games like Need For Speed, X-Men Legends 2, Bruce Lee Quest of the Dragon Scooby Doo games, Shadow The Hedgehog and also Burnout! 🙂❤️🎮
If ET didn't doom Atari, they would probably still be going strong to this day. I'm just surprised how Superman didn't doom the N64. Anyone who played and finished that bullshit deserves at least $1,000.
I had a lot of game consoles back in my days. PS2, Wii, and Nintendo DS. Now, I have an Xbox 360.
I have a PlayStation 2 console, a PlayStation 4 console and a Nintendo DS.
As someone who unbiasedly owned all big 3 consoles since the PlayStation 2 era as well as all handheld’s they made and currently owning a 3DS, PS VITA, Wii, Wii U Xbox One, 2 Xbox 360’s “the original white and mid cycle black one” PlayStation 4, Switch, and PlayStation 5 I have no desire to buy an Xbox Series X or S due to the fact they’ve yet to give me enough reasons to buy it in addition to my PlayStation 5 and Switch
I have an Xbox One S, Nintendo Switch OLED and a... decent PC. Out of all three, I get a lot of play out of the Switch, being portable and having 19 physical games. I just played Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet this morning!
I still have a PS4 UNIT 500 GB. And playing re4 original re1 re5 gta definitive edition and soul calibur 6.
My favorite is the WII and Playstation 🎉
I still have both.
My PS2 was my high school graduation gift!
Its a crime that the Nintendo 64 isnt higher on list plus too bad the Gamecube didnt do better--Both are great consoles
I don't care, Nintendo 64 was the best console ever!
I argree with you. I been looking for a original one myself just so I can reply games like Golden eye and Pokemon stadium for example.
I still play Starcraft 64 to this day
I had the SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Advance Nintendo 64, Wii and PS2. I did play the PlayStation console, Sega Genesis or Megadrive as I knew it, XBOX PlayStation 3, 4, Switch, PSP DS and NES.
Ps2 and xobx 360 will forever be my top 2 for now anyway good list 🎮
The PlayStation 2 I agree at number one but number two they need to do the numbers again. Should be the PS4
I got a PS4 Slim close to 4 years ago, and I have been considering upgrading to a PS5, but my family convinced me that my PS4 still has quite some time left before Sony shuts down its servers
I have Xbox 360 (Slim Model), Nintendo Switch (First Version) and PS5 (OG Disc Version) and I guess that's enough for me at least for the next 2 gaming console generations.
I own half of the list:
PS1 - PS5
Gameboy Advance - Nintendo 3DS
Nintendo 64
Wii
All of that and no Nintendo Switch? Eh I ain't complaining I think your saving up for the Switch 2 and if no then I ain't complaining
@@I_love_MarioBros I originally wanted to get one, but during the pandemic, the switch went up to $500+. It also doesn't help that even with physical games, sometimes it's a digital code.
Most of the games i've been interested on switch, i own or plan to buy for PS4/PS5. As for exclusives, I haven't been too impressed. The Wii U may be a disappointment, but I loved the catalog more.
@@RoronoraZoro666 ive own a switch for 7 years +, I still belive Wii U had better first party games than Wii U, but most Wii U games were porten to switch, without any Wii U ports to the switch, switch wouldn't be that great at all. even breath of the wild is a Wii U game that was supposed to come out in 2015
I own:
PS2 - PS5
Xbox 360 - Series X
NES, SNES, N64, Wii, Switch
Gameboy advance, Nitendo DS, Nintendo 3DS
I seriously need plenty of composite/component/HMDI inputs 😅

I love to play.
Do a 'top 10 Call Of Duty' games
I still love my PS2 and all the games with it. God of war was one of the best
It's interesting considering that while the Big Three (Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft) dominate this list, they don't completely monopolize it. SEGA and Atari have also been big names in the console industry, and it's nice to see they're still hanging on in this list, at least for the time being. That said, I do feel you folks should eventually make a list of top console platforms that were NOT made by the Big Three.
blessings to the ones who never got to experience the playstation 2 era OMG greatest gaming era ever
Nice video
I have a PS classic, 2- PS2 , PS3 Slim, PS4 base, PS5 base, Xbox 360, and a gaming laptop
Amazing. 4 years in and XBox Series X/S has yet to outsell the OG XBox. Wow.
My ps2 still works just fine :)
I absolutely love the thought that PS1 was supposed to be a snes add on.
Fascinating facts!
I own every console on the list except for the XBOX One, PS5, Game Boy Color, NES, and Nintendo Switch
Wild to think that if this was top 25 you'd have every Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo systems (save for the Virtual Boy) but wouldnt get to the second Sega system. Poor Dreamcast, it deserved better.
PS2 - PLAYSTATION 2 is the G.O.A.T. Greatest Of All Time 🤔💭 🎮🥇🏆🏅👍💯
PlayStation 2 is not my GOAT system, but that system is legendary. That gaming system is undeniable.
I own each of these consoles. Funny enough I've been giving my wii u the most attention recently lol
Had the PS1, PS2, PS3, Gameboy (not color), Family Computer (not on this list). Currently have a PS4, NSwitch, and Steam Deck (not on this list)
I had a DS, Switch, PS1, Wii, Xbox 360, GBA, and PSP.
Don't sleep on the GameCube that's where I plugged in a dance mat in an went to work on it 😅
ps2 and psp were my dream. never came true.😢 also switch is new dream console. I hope they will release it in India. Sales will go up.
2 or 3 consoles I own the Sony PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation 4
I do own a lot of the consoles in this video, even some that were not mentioned.
Ps2 for me is just awesome. Still my favourite console so far even years later. The sheer amount that system got right imo in terms of sheer content and just fun factor was fucking insane. Just so damn good.
I own 6 of these consoles/handheld......ps2, ps3, ps4, ps5...xbox 360 and psp....
The Switch is my favorite Gaming Console of all time and for a good reason I grew up with The Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 consoles and the Switch is a combo of all of them its stronger than the 360 and PS3 and you can play with it on the go like the DS!
I have a Nintendo DS, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch and I think they're rather fun video game systems.
