Console Wars never change.. and we want to enlist on the side of Gamers. Tier Lists are a great way to rate gaming machines and there are PLENTY of rankings to go around. What PlayStation is the greatest of all time? What Xbox sits atop of the rest? Why is Nintendo always changing their naming?

    Being told the PS5 is already four years old was the worst part of this video.
  • @TheGameCapsule
    If Nintendo doesn't launch the Switch 2 with Mario Kart 9 they're missing out on 100 million units sold in 3 days lol
  • I remember as the PlayStation and Saturn were launching, a Sony marketer was quoted as saying, "if you're thinking of getting a Saturn, then you're head is in Uranus"
  • @vinesauce
    Kinda cool for some of my videos to be featured as clips on this here channel. Thank you for asking!
  • @KenLinx
    This is literally one of the best console tier lists I've ever seen. I was not expecting that..
  • @DoubleO88
    The Dreamcast felt like a console that was transported from a better timeline. In its original world it would've been even more successful than the PS2.
  • @user-xd7rc9mj3x
    Fun fact - I knew chemists who bought a lot of N64s that they jury rigged into a mesh for doing molecular graphics (they used Silicon Graphics chips where standard systems used to go for 10k a piece). Navy bought a bunch of the PS3s to create a supercomputer using the cell processors.
  • @user-ko8qg7tg4d
    the thing that saved the ps3 is the fact that multiplayer online video games were free to play with no subscriptions needed, all you had to do was provide your own internet
  • Still remember how blown away my family and i were when we started the PS2 on Christmas morning and played Ratchet and Clank for the first time.
  • I'm a beginner technician and have started purchasing and reselling old consoles to fix up and clean. I'm seeing the popularity reflected in the resale price and even the "broken as is" prices being put up on eBay. This video has been eye opening and will help steer me into which consoles will be worth fixing.
  • @AntonGully
    I gave up smoking around the same time the Dreamcast got remaindered. I told myself that if I could go three months without cigs, I'd buy one of the remaindered bundles. So I played a bunch of Code Veronica and Sonic Adventure.
  • @MaggotAddict21
    Watch Europa: The Last Battle. History is never what it seems to be.
  • @LBSiUK
    Someone's gonna be irritated about that GameCube controller comment.
  • @willsparklin
    Dreamcast was one of those consoles that was ahead of its time in so many ways, shame it didn't have a bigger catalog. Could've been A tier...
  • @AndrewLarsson
    N64 not getting at least an A is a crime against our childhoods and 3D gaming as a whole.
  • @Mayurpaj
    PlayStation start-up sound is a memory trigger for me. Just ran thru a flashback of my childhood from that one sound.
  • @lazorpie
    The part where the video itself played inside the CRT Monitor was really cool and a great touch. Love to see such great effort being put into such a relatively small segment!
  • @jpvalverde85
    NES/Famicom was a world wide hit and probably deserves to be in S tier having a huge library, memorably titles and the birth of lots of franchises and characters that live to this day. From the A tier, Genesis/MD probably is an A+ (a lot of US releases used poorly the sound capability through a limited sound driver called GEMS, yet to this day Genesis/MD has an enormous scene with active development and crazy brand new games exploring the power of the machine), PS3 an A- but still great library, also N64 took some time to roll but ended having a memorable and highly rated library, feels worthy of A- tier. SNES/Super Famicom for S tier is mostly in USA, globally shares a slightly modest place closer to Genesis/MD, probably having the upper hand with the RPGs from Square/Enix, ports of such could have put the Genesis/MD head to head.

    Guys, you forgot the Commodore Amiga CDTV, predecessor of the Amiga 32. The CDTV was a Amiga 500 Plus (2mb Graphics Ram) with a CD-Drive, Wireless Keyboard, CDI Video capability . The CD32 was a Amiga 1200 with CD-Drive, Special Chip for Video Playback, backwards Compatible with A500 Games.
