Did you know that PlayStation was going to be sega's console but the old Japan director of Sega didn't approve that and he laughed at it
He said "Sony doesn't know how to make hardware"
Crazy how Sony’s worst selling home console out sold Xbox’s best selling home console
Why is there so many kids here?
I would like to see this video as number of monthly units sold!
Potables not included? PSP, Gameboy, NDS, etc.
I believe PS2 playing Socom and Everquest was my finest gaming hour
Who's here to watch Nintendo dominates?
POWER TO THE PLAYERS!!!
I would like to see this with handhelds too
Xbox
PlayStation! Best of the best!
Sony whit ps2 is surrealist
How do you get those pop ups during the thing saying about the consoles or is that put in after editing the video for uploading?
Playstation always will be better than Xbox.
I love FIFA20 in ps4
Team X Box
Your videos are so long. Can you make them faster?
My favorite is Xbox 360
Still have new concepts in the future, even though we encounter the threshold in this moment. Games need story to pursuade players to purchase the series.
Do not ignore the pirate or knowledge problems caused the industry have a great loss in this 20 years.
Game consoles' large enemy is the Phone games.
After seeing this how is PlayStation vs Xbox even a debate 😂
3:41 SUDDENLY SONY PLAYSTATION COMES

Now that I realized I never bought any product from Microsoft not even windows I have the pirate one I bought Nintendo ds Playstation 1, 2, 3, and 4 I bought segas last console and wii
Playstation

My fav console has to be GameCube
The Xbox 360 was Microsoft at their best. They really took advantage of those first few years. The original Xbox had impressive sales feats even though they were negligible next to the PS2, but the Xbox One stood no chance against the PS4.
I wish Sega make a come back to the console wars
Sony
Actualmente nintendo ya volvio a superar a Playstation en ventas, ¿No?
Nintendo would be first by a large margin if the GameBoy, GBC, GBA, DS and 3DS were included. PSP and PSVita stood no chance.
Sony ruined gaming.
Oh damn i thought all these years playstation, xbox and nintendo are on a close competition on each other, i was wrong, this graph show me insights on how very successful ps2 is even current gen couldnt beat the succcesful selling point it had, a moment of silence and tribute for magnavok and for the rest of first gen console, if werent for them i guess sony wouldnt be able to come up with a better and faster game that end up today, i wished they could had survived for more years tho
PlayStation is the best, even better than Nintendo imo
