      ​@@feroriski5840Naw the Wii U basically made their customers not want it mainly because of their cringeworthy commercials and lack of 3rd party support. Most of the fans were still playing the Wii or the 2DS/3DS consoles when Wii U was happening. Some people though the Wii U was just a add on for the Wii.

      Looks like Nintendo Switch is aiming for a revenge

    • @zahidshabir4038
      @zahidshabir4038 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      It's because of a few reasons I will list
      FIRSTLY one of the reasons why the PS2 did good at launch was because DVD players had just started becoming a thing and there was not really any video streaming especially since internet was too slow and sometimes even loading a freaking picture would take seconds if not longer and a video is technically multiple pictures played in quick succession usually at 30 images/frames per second or 60. The reason why the DVD thing matters is because the PS2 could play DVD's too (PS3 could also play normal Blu-Ray movies and PS4 Pro and 5 and XB1X and XB Series X can also do up to UHD 4K Blu-Ray). This made it a good choice for people who wanted BOTH a DVD player and a games console especially since another important sales factor was Sony was actually making a loss technically on them I think because I heard it was also the CHEAPEST DVD playing device in 2001 so even the kids who were not allowed to buy games consoles under normal circumstances like me (I still never got to own one though but I was 5 when it released) probably owned them because their parents wanted a DVD player and this had extra features too.
      Second reason was because the damn thing launched in 2001 AND was still being sold well over a decade later I mean the console had been selling for SO LONG that there were games still in development in the mid 2010's for the console to the point where EA actually released FIFA 14 (I think it was 14) on THREE different generations of PlayStation the PS2, PS3 and PS4
      Third reason was because some of the customers were non gamers looking to only get it to play DVD's and when you compare the sales figures to later consoles by the time the PS3 released many of the non gamer customers were not upgrading to Blu-Ray even though it had 1080p video and was again the cheapest Blu-Ray player out at the time. Also there was the fact that movie/tv streaming was slowly starting to become a thing and eventually it would fully kick off in the 2010's meaning it would render that target audience mostly useless for future consoles especially since there is also movie and TV show piracy that would not have been easily available back then because of the terrible internet in 2001.
      Fourth reason is because many developing countries were still heavily using the PS2 because you know it can be hard for poorer people to afford a new console if they even have the chance to get one in the first place which again most people nowadays do NOT do because these poorer people can just pirate their games nowadays on PC
      Fifth reason is PC GAMING. Most people on console never knew of PC gaming besides flash games and when they found out about PC gaming they either switched or used both since PC is FAR FAR SUPERIOR and a PC is capable of multi tasking and doing more than a measly console and even I was unaware of PC gaming till in 2009 shortly after getting my first PC at 13 y/o (My parents never let me have a console or PC but caved in to the PC demand so I could use it for "studying and homework") my uncle found a pirated DVD with GTA III preinstalled on it at a local market when he was in Pakistan and brought it to the UK (I am British Pakistani) and he also found a copy of GTA VC the same way a couple months later and because of a bug in this pirated GTA III where the radio stationed never worked I googled and found out about pirating and pirated both games (GTA III disc had bugs and GTA VC had weird mods preinstalled) with an official ISO and EXE crack (ISO is just a virtual file of an actual disc and when launched Windows thinks you have loaded a DVD in to it these ISO files were for the OG discs for the game). I then found a place where I could pirate GTA SA and then found out about a multiplayer mod for GTA SA called Multi Theft Auto which is basically like FiveM but for GTA SA and then I found a GTA IV crack (With older games that did have a physical disc version it is EASY to find the ISO of the disc online and people would release them even before a crack was available because the game is still not cracked if you do this and won't run on other PC's without a crack so getting the cracked EXE and extra files you need to add to the directory was the hard part). I now don't pirate and now LEGALLY own these games on Steam AND own the regular AND Definitive Edition versions of GTA III/VC/SA on PC

      No wonder, its because of the shitty quality of the ps2. Every user who bought the PS2 had a dead disc drive after 1 or 2 years and what do people do who had spend tons of money on games for a console? yes, they bought a new one to play the remaining games. So i´m not surprised that the PS2 sold so well. Its nothing to be proud of.

      When Nintendo's current fiscal year ends on March 31, 2024, it's probably gonna be 142 or 143 million.
      And it's only about another 15 million to go before they catch PS2 (& DS) by the end of December 2024.
      All this year, you're gonna be hearing stories of Switch breaking some sales record or another all around the world. The next one to come, I believe, will be Switch beating DS in Japan as the best-selling console.

      Switch remains at its launch price which is unprecedented for ANY console in history.

      Switch's original launch colors for Joy-cons were Red & Blue (like Mario).

      So PlayStation was popular everywhere especially Europe while Nintendo 64's popularity was best in USA only.
      They were still putting out Super Famicom games in Japan in 1999, that's how bad it was.
      Handheld Consoles were a different matter, of course. Game Boy & Pokémon were untouchable.
      But despite the quality of those legendary N64 games, they no longer had the quantity seen in NES & SNES.
      And ever since the Crash of 1983 & the 3rd Generation with NES, you can't win a Generation without winning Japan.
      N64 was outsold by Sega Saturn in Japan to let you know just why you were shocked at N64's sales.
      However in hindsight, N64 had the best games of all time in that generation so it's looked back on fondly today.

      ​@PeppaPig-ze3ycnope, the Amiga CD-32 was a console, so was the C64 GS but that was its downfall. As it was a console version of the C64 the GS only came with a joystick, and that meant its claim to compatible with all C64 games was a lie. Many games couldn't get started on the GS because you needed to press a non-existant keyboard key.

    I read somewhere that the ps2 sold closer to 160mil, I believe it was the colecovision, not the intellivison that sold 5 or 6mil because the 3mil number reflects only part of its sales. The genesis was between 35-40mil but I like to think closer to 40. These are all things I’ve read so I’m not sure what is fact but I also read that PlayStation 4 stopped reporting numbers, so they could have sold up to 120mil and the Xbox one could have sold more for the same reason.

      Nah.
      $299 in the year 2000 would be roughly $529 today corrected for inflation. PS5 launched at $499.
      Considering the real term salary increases in many nations since 2000 the current consoles are in a way quite a bit cheaper than the PS2 was at release.
      Sweden for an example had an average real term salary increase of 66 % between 1995 and 2019. In other words the salary increase outpaced the inflation by 66 %.
      Granted we are back to roughly 2015 levels because of the last few years of high inflation but the salaries are in real terms still way higher than they were back in 2000.
      So we do proportionally speaking spend less of our money on the current consoles.

      As a matter of fact, you're likely to see a lifetime total of 140 million for Switch on Nintendo's next fiscal report.
      That covers all Switch sales up to the end of 2023, December 31st.
      We'll be getting that report at the beginning of February & they still have one more quarter to go for their fiscal year.
      Their fiscal year ends on March 31, 2024 & by then you're probably gonna see about 142 or 143 million for Switch.
      It's only another 15 million to go from there & that won't be hard to accomplish.

    The 2000s (noughties) was the best decade for gaming. The PS2 capitalised on Sony’s success in the 90’s, Nintendo capitalised on its strengths in handhelds with Sony giving it the first real competition it ever had, and Xbox entered the scene.
    The competition between PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii in the middle of the decade was the most intense gaming competitiveness ever seen and not since seen again. Gaming wars are important because it keeps all of our favourite consoles, whichever it may be, innovating and bringing more to offer.

      +boxbreaker Keep your eyes on this year. Switch will beat both DS & PS2 by December 31, 2024.
      Nintendo's next fiscal report comes out at the beginning of February & it covers the Fall/Holiday Quarter which is October/November/December 2023. Nintendo always does its best in this 3rd Quarter in the Holidays.
      I believe you will see a lifetime total of 140 million Switches & there's one more Quarter to go for the fiscal year.
      The Winter Quarter which covers January/February/March 2024. Their fiscal year ends March 31, 2024.
      So by then you'll probably see 142 or 143 million & from there it's only another 15 million to go.
      Yes, Switch sales are declining year by year BUT it STILL has killer sales for a console about to be a full 7 years old!
      It only looks bad comparing it against itself during the unprecedented Pandemic phenomenon which was like Michael Jackson Thriller level of sales. It's now on a mere Michael Jackson Bad or Dangerous level of sales.
      Below those insane peaks but way above what anybody else is doing. From INSANE to merely DOMINANT.
      As it enters its 8th year soon (it completes its 7th year on March 3rd), look for little news reports all over the world saying that Switch broke some sales record here or there.
      The next one is the one from Japan where Switch will beat both Game Boy & DS in sales.
      And remember above all else, Switch has done all of this AT FULL LAUNCH PRICE!
      The price on Switch has never dropped ONCE. Even PS2 & DS had price drops to get to those record numbers.
      When Nintendo finally unleashes Switch 2 (which will NOT be in 2024 contrary to popular opinion), the industry will have a problem on their hands. Nintendo is poised for permanent dominance from here on out.

I say drop the oled by 100 to 200 and the lite by 100 to 99 I think that would spur impulse purchases and at 140 million units as of now apparently that would easily make the switch overtake the ps2. If I was Nintendo id do it for that reason alone.

    Strange how Game Boy and GB Color are put together, but Nintendo DS and 3DS are calculated as separate things. GB and GB color are two separate things and they should be calculated separately as well.

    Genesis kept selling units even in 2018?

    The Genesis sold from 1988-2017!!!! Who was still buying it in 2017?

    Pandemic really slingshot the Switch to whole new heights. Much thanks to Animal Crossing. And other titles a bit later. It seems like it can catch the DS and PS2, but the successor should come out this year. Albeit the leaks and rumors are HIGHLY disappointing.
