What did you make of our rankings? What else would you like to see us rank from worst to best? LET US KNOW!
ELEMENTRO playz
@Aaron Coleman dickhead was I bit far
The Gold Shot
It pissed me off how you didnt outline the ranking criteria at the start. Plus your reasoning for having the Xbox one at 22 for having a bad launch and yet ps3 gets 3 despite also having a bad launch. Like all i want to know is what you were basing the rankings off and how much opinion went into it aswell.
RiggsBF
Every SIngle Portable Video Game System ranked from Worst to Best.

Are you dumb the switch has sold 60+ million consoles it’s about to outsell the nes.

@Chris Thomas It’s NOT in the App Store, So I Kinda Wince At The Thought. I’ll Look It Up Though. Would Be Awesome If It Was On Wii Homebrew! But I’m Running Droid 8. BTW; I’ve ALWAYS Done That… But If A VERY Rare Game is Several Hundred OR Thousands of $$… I WILL EMULATE THAT If I Can. Usually Don’t, But Will If I Must. Got A Few Arcade MAMES For That VERY Reason Alone! (Konami’s X-Men, etc)
Chris Thomas
@JyGoRn_AuKsRyTe Oh you are on Android. Redream is the best for DC games on Android. They are working on WinCE though. DEMUL is PC only. But try it it is nice.

@Zubr Hero Like A Gameboy, You Could Have Ported Various LCD Games On The VMU’s… Up To 2 Per Unit Though. I Had A Tetris Clone On One, SegaGT On Another & Zombie Revenge On A Different Unit. Even Helped Out With Your Health Status in RE; Code Veronica, So You Didn’t Have To Open A Menu.

as a man in my early 50s and being a gamer since day 1 i find this very nostalgic and compelling I think its brilliantly done and researched and the showing of those old consoles mindblowing congrats to the people involved
AJRL05
David Sapir really? I guess if i truly wanted to I could play whenever i have time to when im older
tk848
I’m 50 and my first console was an Atari SuperPong. As soon as I started watching this I thought PS2 should be number 1 because of the impact it had.
Michelle Tanner
@Paul Johnson no u not
Lucas Jimenez
its great to see some og gamers
Moogle Midgar
I thought i was old at age 39, my first console was the sega master system in 1987. i did play atari 2600 at my sisters friends house. I got a nes in 1989 and a snes in 1992 and ps1 in 1998. i moved out in 2000 and started buying consoles at release since then. i buy all consoles cuz i am not a idiot fanboy, i go where games/cheap games are. like if a game is cheaper on ps4 i buy it there and vise versa with xbox. i have 4000 games and 11+ consoles. i wish i had a saturn and sega cd.
Victor Tarabola Cortiano
The PS2 will always be the true console of the proletariat masses. I have a PS3 borrowed from a friend but I almost never touch it, since I have my beloved PS2 which has better games.
epoen2012
I just bought another one lol

Play Black op2 on ps3, fun af g
Ramón Cárdenas
I concur. PS2 was the first console I bought with my hard earned money, I even took credit to buy it, which I have never done again.
Tray G
@Ramón Cárdenas my mom and grama bought me my ps2 and ps1. I hussled at school to buy my ps3. Good times
mike
The switch with home menu themes, party chat, and invites would be absolutely incredible
Ben Stevens
A3JT may be right. Even though themes (and other features listed above) aren’t available yet, that won’t mean they won’t be released at all. I mean, updates and games do take a lot of time to complete. Imagine what workload gaming companies have. Not only that, but pressure and stress is also prevalent in the gaming industry. And I mean, risks that fail can stuff up the console/game.
Ok, so to summarize the waffling, stuff takes time to complete.
Ben Stevens
Not only that the Switch is popular. And it’s not like Nintendo is gonna release another console in the next 3 years like it’s previous consoles. They said they’ll curb that tradition this gen.
Just thought I’d put that in.
Coke Fan 2000
The Switch would be more cool if you can multitask. It’ll be so cool if I can watch YouTube videos while playing Animal Crossing.
Seven Vile Eyes
I feel like Nintendo is holding some stuff for when they decide to sell the next version of the switch, since the switch sales are gonna go down when the ps5 and the series x launch. That’s what I would do anyway.
George Does Gaming!
A3JT they also said that 3 years ago
Zack Davis
I love my Super Nintendo, I’ll never sell it. I’m still collecting for it.
Kaylied Gamer
@OutsideTheRopesDon’t think she’s missing out lol

@Kaylied Gamer
You wanna hear something crazy? I never played Mario64 🤦♂️
I’ve played about all other games on that console but not Mario. I dont have a good explanation for not playing. somehow I was buisy playing everything else. I could give my right arm for playing Mario64 today but seems like Nintendo wont do a mini version on the console. Any suggestions? Been looking on buying NVIDIA Shield as I heard it can run the game. Raspberry Pie perhaps? Dunno whats best
Kaylied Gamer
@Heligafarsan LOL yeah that is crazy – but good for you 🙂
JyGoRn_AuKsRyTe
That’s Awesome & A TRUE GMR! These Flashback Consoles Are Reminders of The Originals Superiority At They’re Release Time & The Nostalgia Which Envelops Our Wonder!
Kaylied Gamer
@Heligafarsan Mario64DS is a good way to play this – on an XL console its still good.
skilz8098
I can’t believe that I sat through almost 2 hours of video to finally hear the #1 spot that I could have already told you before the video even started… PS2! I still have mine and I still play it! What a great console!
skilz8098
@Michael Jahrling Next to that I’d have to say the SNES, I still have mine with about a dozen games. I’m only missing about 4 for that collection. As for the PS2 another reason it is great is I can also play all of my PS1 games such as FFVII, FFVII, FFIX, FF Tactics, Star Ocean, Legend of Dragoon, Castle Vania: Symphony of the Night, Battle Ogre, Diablo, Parasite Eve 1 & 2, Resident Evil 1 & 2, Tony Hawk 3, Cool Boarders 3 or 4, Intelligent Cube, and a few others great titles!!! I also have about 20 – 30 PS2 Games: Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII, Star Ocean, LOTR 1,2,3 & Third Age, Castle Vania, Gauntlet, Kingdom Hearts 1&2, Ultimate Alliance, God of War 1 & 2, Guitar Hero 2,3 World Tour, & Metallica, Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill games, Okami, a handful of Madden Games, Tiger Woods PGA Tour, several Tony Hawk games, Sega’s Sonic Collection, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (Online gameplay was great, 90% reason why I played it, it’s still a fun game to play offline), 007, Black, Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2, The Suffering 1&2, Siren, Trapt, Risk, World Series of Poker, and a few others…
MysteryMan 021
Agreed, it was very obvious considering how well it sold, it’s long shelf life, and how many amazing games that the PS2 library featured!
PaladinSL1
I have my PS2 and my silver PS2 Slim, wouldn’t ever get rid of them, part of history.
Tray G
Spoilers, neat! Guess ill just die now. Thanks
Ryan Frenche
I knew PS2 would be #1 as well despite the fact I don’t own one.
Kyle McGough
The dreamcast was very underrated, if it wasn’t for the great ps2 it would of sold way more and SEGA could still be making new consoles to this day.
Michael McKinnon
In hindsight the PS2 was a piece of crap compared to the Sega Dreamcast but at the time most people waited for the PS2.

Games sell the consoles. Besides Halo, Forza & Gears what other decent exclusives do they have that get 9+/10 ratings? Seems Sony gets those almost every other month
Xblist
Ps3 was a BIG failure at the his launch like xbox one
And why ps3 is in the top 3 list?
playstation > jesus
(This is a joke ^ )
matt
@Santiago Lopez Tarnassi i’ll always be a microsoft fan
Michael Berman
Red Ring of death is what kept me from ever buying an xbox…that and the fact I could play my older PS games on their newer consoles kept me a PS fan. My PS3 is still my main Blu-Ray player.
Kaylied Gamer
Sony Fanboy Rankings = worthless tripe
Aaron Rocca
I remember being 11 years old in 1991 and going to a “rich relatives” house one night and they had a Neo Geo. Everyone was blown away by it and he had to brag about the cost.
sean bediako
I’m was 10 yrs old in 1991. I remember I would have done anything to have the arcade on my tv. Street Fighter 2 was my fave game but wasn’t on the NeoGeo. I dribble at the look of games like Art of Fighting, King of Fighters and Samurai Showdown! I think I heard the games were about 200 each 🤷🏽♂️

After 20 minutes I realized, this video is like 2 hour!!!

After 13 minutes I was like when are we gonna get to newer consoles 😂

@matt who pissed in your cereal lmao

About Ps2- The DVD compatibility was a huge factor in its success. At the point in history not many people had DVD players, along comes SONY and gives you a world class games console AND dvd player for the same price of one.
Nestor Alegre
Yes true very true I knew many people that would use it to watch movies also
Iltffny
good point, i sure as hell used it to watch movies
Nachachus
Funny how they’d go and do the same with the PS3 (and Blu-ray), and almost failed trying
Bruh239
Wow I totally forgot about that! Yes, Dvd players were $100+ at the time (some even $150 or more!!) and having it built into the PS2 was a huge selling point. This happened again with the PS3 being able to play Blu Ray discs. Some people, including older consumers that had zero interest in playing videogames, purchased the ps3 because at the TIME, the ps3 was a CHEAPER solution to play Blu Ray discs than a blu-ray player itself. Seriously! The players back then were HUGE money, with the FIRST Blu-Ray player that hit the US market had a MSRP of $999, compared to the PS3’s original MSRP of $499.
Michael McKinnon
The DVD player component wasn’t as important as the price and expectation of better graphics than the competitors.
Alx Windsar
The fact that this has over a million views makes me so happy. So much love, time, effort and attention to detail was put into it, it deserves all the views.
Clayton Ataide
Anyone else wanted to watch those almost 2 hours again just after finishing it?
