I owned about 15-20 consoles from standard to handheld. Lost count after the PS2 came out.
I own all Nintendo consoles, ps2 and ps5, a sega genesis, and Xbox 360 and Xbox one
My family has owned #7 & possibly #6 while I owned/own #12, #10, #3, #2 & possibly #4.
PS1,PS2,PS3,PS4,PSP,Wii, Nintendo switch, Nintendo DS, Game Boy and somewhere in storage a V-Smile
12 of them Gameboy, PS1, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, DS, Wii, PS3, PSP, PS4, 3DS, Switch, PS5.
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
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!
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.
"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.

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 😅
Sony loyalist here
PS 1-5
PSP
PS Vita
Plus
Switch
XBOX X
Game Gear
I love to game ❤
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
Ps2 is my favorite console game. I still have ps2 until now 2024 👏
I know it didn't save the company, but the Sega Dreamcast will always be one of my favorites.
The GameCube was awesome.
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.
Excellent list
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.
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. 🤣
Don't sleep on the GameCube that's where I plugged in a dance mat in an went to work on it 😅
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
7:13, I can listen to tat score all day.
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.

All of these consoles are awesome! Glad to be seeing this within one hour of release
Jesus Wept.
I've been gaming for over 40 years now.
This was a nostalgia trip, thanks.
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
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.
Surprised GameCube wasn't on this list. Also I feel handheld consoles should be on a different list lol.
Got my Nintendo DS about 12 years ago and it’s still working perfectly😮💨
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.
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 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
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
That weird video with the Scottish girl "Land on your own moon" was a PS3 promo but you had it on the PS2 segment.
Do a 'top 10 Call Of Duty' games
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
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.
Why did you make this video almost immediately after I bought a PS5
PS2 was fire omg
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.
I still remember the PS2 was my first video game console back in 2001. I was 7.
My favorite is the WII and Playstation 🎉
I absolutely love the thought that PS1 was supposed to be a snes add on.
Makes me sad about the Dreamcast. It was ahead of its time and yet sold even less than the Wii U.
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 was really waiting for the Atari Jaguar to be mentioned in the number 1 spot. 😂😂
_(Red Screen of Death)_
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.
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 own each of these consoles. Funny enough I've been giving my wii u the most attention recently lol
I wonder of all the consoles they sell I wonder which one is the best so far
I had a DS, Switch, PS1, Wii, Xbox 360, GBA, and PSP.
I have 48 consoles in my Collection 2ps1, 2 ps2's, 4 ps4's, 3ps5's, 2 colecovision,s, 3 Nintendo's, 3super Nintendo's /w one Nintendo, and snes being a nintoaster, and snes toaster 2dreamcast's, 2will's, 2 gamecube's , 2sega saturn's, 2 sega cd's model 2, and cdx, ps4vr, 9ps4's with 7 out of 9 being limited edition consoles, 7 xbox's, 1 xbox, 1 360, 2 xbox 1's one being a limited edition halo 5 guardian, and 3 xbox 1 x's, 1 project scorpio edition, 1 gears 5, and cyberpunk 2077. I love to play.
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! 🙂❤️🎮
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 only reason I bought a ps2 was for the nightmare before Christmas game released on it - any suggestions for other games I could get please?

@@devingiles6597 nice list! Will look some of these up!
For me I owned all the PlayStations consoles the PS1 the PS2 the PS3 the PS4 and even the PS5 now and and the new PlayStation portable. as well a PlayStation Vita too I as for Nintendo I have a Nintendo 64. still a Nintendo switch and a Wii and a 3DS and the DS I used to own a Super Nintendo. entertainment system and I also used to own a Sega Genesis and. i also have an Xbox One
I loved the DS and PS3. The only consoles i have 3 of.
My first console was the Atari 2600 and my second was a Sega Genesis. After I bought my first desktop PC in 2001, I only played games on that, including World of Warcraft. And then I started buying smartphones and played games on that. I'm thinking in a few more years we should not bother with consoles.
Does X-Box 360 selling a lt of units really count? Since the Red Ring of Death was a thing?
Not just the dreaded three flashing lights, a lot of games were scratched up.
Watara Supervision and Megaduck didn't make the list?
On ET I member you just kept falling down that damn hole and then it would make that famous electric organ sound from the 80’s.
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.
I had a lot of game consoles back in my days. PS2, Wii, and Nintendo DS. Now, I have an Xbox 360.
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)
When the Wii was being built there was potentially also going to build them in the US but they didn't
Had they done that they could have doubled or tripled the sales
I still have a PS4 UNIT 500 GB. And playing re4 original re1 re5 gta definitive edition and soul calibur 6.
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. 😅
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.
You might want to change the facts man, because according to the PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan, The PS2 has now sold over 160 million units!
My ps2 still works just fine :)
My God, how much money would I have today if I never played a video game. I owned half that list and played in the arcade before any of them existed.
I don’t like Sega Genesis on the bottom of the list. That should’ve been in the top 10 in the list
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.
Great Ps2
Masterpiece games
Best of Best
According to the former ceo of sony the ps2 sold 160 million units
PS2 is the highest selling because it was and is the best. The Wii selling more units than the PS3 and Xbox 360 is wild.
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.
Why is this video 720p and not 1080p or at least 720p 60?! 🤨
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
6:15 small number of exclusive games on ps5? 🤔🤨
The original Xbox had so much potential if only it had a longer life span, that system revolutionized online gaming!!
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....

We all know what number 1 is
Hey!! You forgot the atari jaguar 64!!!
_(Red Screen of Death)_
No doubt: PS2 is best-selling!
The Problem with the PS2 is that it's now a very rare and Valuable thing to have so it's not gonna go good if you still wanna buy it and same with the DS and Now the Modern game consoles like the Switch and Xbox Series X are sweeping the storm and with the Teaser for the Switch 2 I doubt that anyone's gonna be lucky enough to find a PS2 now cus Scalpers and Scammers are still out there
