Bonus episdoe 4: Best selling video game consoles of all time.
I did say from time to time, they will be at bonus episode or two. And here's one. So how was everyone Saturday? Yes, we have done Black Friday. That was yesterday. Thanksgiving, a couple of days ago. Now we're moving on. Tomorrow is the first day of December. Already, the last month of the year. It's already gone by 2024, man. And I will do a reflective episode. First and foremost, let me apologize for the wait timing. I know that I advertised that the episode was going to be between three and seven. As you can see, I am late. And that's on me. I went out, something came up and nothing crazy, though. And that was it. Yeah, so I'll be a little bit more punctual with the timing. If I put out a time, if you've been waiting, I do apologize. I know everybody's got things to do. No, he didn't come by today. I knew he would. He probably was baited. Now he didn't come by. No, he didn't. But I was supposed to go to his house, too. But he didn't quite make clear what was going on. However, though, thanks for joining the show. Everyone again, I do apologize. I am late, but I am here. Nonetheless, on this Saturday night, it's cold as shit out there. For the first time today, I saw some flurries come down. And I was like, what the fuck? That's great. You know, we don't snow very much here. You said what you do today? Oh, I just went to the casino. And I went out and got some USB splitter. What I'm trying to do is trying to play my sound effects on this on the live. And I figured I might have figured out a way to do it at the runs the best by get a USB C splitter to where I'm going to see if the sound effects do play on the live from the soundboard. I've been watching a lot of videos. I've been trying to kind of figure that out. Other than that, ran around. That's it. Just kind of get out of the house. You know, most of the time I've been in the house this past four days. Anyway, so I'm back. It's a bonus episode. Again, there won't be another episode till Monday. And then all week between Monday and Friday, they will be a show between Monday and Friday. I haven't done that in a while. Five episodes in the row. Yeah, it's been a minute. Like I said, I like to kind of do the show a little bit sparingly. But nonetheless, here we go. Alright, so if you missed the viewer, if you missed the round table last night, man, that was a fucking episode. Again, the round table is every Friday. We just kind of just bullshit. Yeah, you said I'll be you'll be gone. I'm sorry. Yeah, I forgot you're gonna be out for the whole week. And then one, you know, you're gonna miss basically every single episode. Hey, Quavo, appreciate the ice cream. Thank you. I know it's a little cold out there for it, but shit, I'll take it nonetheless. So yeah, tonight's episode. I just want to do a quick little bonus episode of the best selling video game consoles of all time. I know I'm changing gears since last night because the round table boy, we had it was a fucking it was a radio show last night. That's how crazy and to me, I think it was one of the craziest round table episodes I've done. And yeah, that shit was just crazy. I even had to like ban a couple of people because like I said, I'm all about having fun on the show and bullshit and shit. But I don't got time for kids being kids like people acting like fucking children on the show, even though I'm a big kid myself, but even I have limits. So maybe they'll come back. Like I said, a temporary band was the first one I ever had to do. And it sucks because I'm not that I don't want to be that kind of person. But sometimes you have to be that kind of person. All right, anyway, tonight I'm gonna do an episode on some of the best selling video games of all time because just recently there's one console out there with the ridiculous amount of sales that has been. And it's probably it's been crowned this for a while as the best selling video game console of all time down below in the chat. If you want to take a guess what that console is, good luck. I mean, it's quite obvious. I think it's quite obvious what's the best selling game console of all time. No, it's not fucking Atari. If anybody says that, go that way. It's not Atari. But the new limited PS5, that is definitely not the best selling console. It's kind of hard for the for the PS5 to be considered the best selling console. All right, you said the Nintendo Wii. Now a lot of people will say that the Nintendo Wii is the best selling console of all time. I will say it's one of the best selling consoles of all time, but it is not the best selling console of all time. If you could believe that. Unfortunately, however, we're gonna find out exactly and what place does the Nintendo Wii fall in? All right. And then tell me what's your favorite console. I can tell you right now I've been playing video games since I was three. The very first console I've played was in NES. So I'm kind of showing how old I am. That's how old I am. It's uh, it's been a minute, but I even now at this age, I still game my game pretty hard and shit like that. So and I don't think I'm gonna stop any time soon. So all right. So this article was just written a few days ago on IGN. I said that's the best site I think I can use for a reference to the best video game of all time. All right. Wait, well, you said it's got to be PlayStation. I don't know. Let's see if you're right about that. I mean, I mean, it goes without saying man. I mean, we'll see. I think it is. All right. Now I'm not gonna read the beginning synopsis. It's very clear what this episode is about. No, Microsoft is not better than Sony. We're not doing that. We are not doing that. Nah. All right. So it goes to 28 consoles. Can you believe how many consoles have come and have came out and are in our lifetime or in general? I mean, the very first gaming console came out in 1972. I believe that was the Mega Box Odyssey. Yes. Video games go that far back. So without further ado, we're gonna start off with number 28, the Sega Dreamcast. Rest in peace to the Sega Dreamcast. It was a very short lived console. I swear, very short lived. It sucks that it, you know, it didn't really make its mark as much as it should. It sold a little bit over 9 million consoles and it came out on 9999, basically September 9, 1999. And I remember how, how big of a deal the Sega Dreamcast was, man. It was such a big deal. But I think what killed the Sega Dreamcast and it has some bomb games. What killed the Sega Dreamcast was simply timing, you know, the Sega Saturn and do too well. And then the PlayStation came out, the PS2 came out a year later, not to mention the Sega Dreamcast did not have a DVD player. That is what sunk the Sega Dreamcast. So about the Sega Dreamcast, it says here, it was released in Japan in 1998, but released here in 1999. I really said that's two years and two days before a crazy day in New York. Yeah. Maybe that could have been an omen too. Just, it was just bad timing altogether with that system. Two of the highest rated, highest selling games, believe it or not, I want to say the Dreamcast or rated games with SoulCalibur. I know because SoulCalibur is one of the best fighting games ever, not to mention Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. NFL 2K1 was one of the best games to ever be released on a Dreamcast. I think Sonic Adventure definitely was one of the best games on a adventure as well as just so many of them. But yeah, it only lasted two fucking years. It says, according to Sega's 2001 annual report, lifetime sales for the console hit 8 million by March 31st of 2001. They say it ended Dreamcast production in the first half of the following fiscal year. I mean, two years this console barely been out and it failed. It just failed because it was just bad fucking timing. But I love the Sega Dreamcast. In fact, I'm seeking one as we speak. So anybody knows a place or anyone selling a Sega Dreamcast? Let me know. All right. Now, this next console is part of the reason why, excuse me, that the Sega Dreamcast failed. All right. Number 27, the Sega Saturn. Never had a Sega Saturn. Now growing up, I would get damn the any console I asked for or sometimes they even asked for. But I sure and hell did not ask for a Sega Dream Sega Saturn. Now, Sega Saturn was direct competition to the first PlayStation. Needless to say, Sega Saturn did not sell anywhere near fucking PlayStation's numbers. It sold 9.2 million consoles, which is slightly more than the Sega Dreamcast, if you could believe that. Now, Sega Saturn, right? Now, Sega Saturn came out about 1995 came out 94 in Japan and yeah, it says production status. And it says as of March 31, 1998, the Saturn has sold a little bit over 8 million consoles when it was discontinued in the US. It was the last official update from Sega, though the console will continue to be so into Japan for another two years. Funny enough, the Sega Dreamcast after an end of production. And here in the States, games were still being released all the way to like for what I heard 2005 for the Sega Dreamcast. So if you go to Japan, there are way more games for the Dreamcast than, you know, than here in the States, unfortunately. Comment below if you've ever had a Sega Dreamcast. I've had a Sega Dreamcast to the day it broke. At one point, I played the Dreamcast without the cover. That's how much I played that shit. All right, this next one, number 26. I know and I've had damn that every single Nintendo console to even include a virtual boy, but I never had this shit. I didn't bother to get this particular console. Number 26, the Wii U. I think Nintendo fucked up with the Wii U trying to bake off the success of the Wii and they thought by using the name that it would help to sell consoles. It did not. In fact, the Wii U didn't even come close to as many consoles that was sold of the Wii. The Wii U sold 13.5 million consoles came out in 2012. It had a very small impressive and a small run of about maybe five years. I don't know anybody that even has a fucking Wii U. In fact, I really say you never had a Wii U, either just the Wii and the Switch. Yeah, I completely skipped over the Wii U. When I seen that shit and found out how much power it had, I was like, this is just basically trying to capitalize off the Wii name. I'm done with it. So I skipped out, but I do have a, I do have a Switch, but I'm done with the Wii U. So it ended its production. It was released in the US on November 18th, 2012. Now, typically, Nintendo consoles have a lifespan of roughly about five, maybe six, seven years. This was about roughly five, because in 2017, the Nintendo Switch came. Now, the highest rated games for the Wii U was the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Super Mario World 3D, and of course, Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U. But that goes without saying. It says with only 13 and a half million sold, the Wii U was Nintendo's worst selling console of all time. Why margin? However, as former Nintendo of America president, Tulsi and then the lessons learned from the Wii U were crucial in propelling the Switch to success. But 103 million pieces of software was sold for the Wii U. So it's so an incredible amount of games, just didn't sell an incredible amount of consoles. You said, who made Game Boys? Oh, that's Nintendo. Nintendo made the Game Boy, but you know, this is a straight console. All right, number 25. This shit right here, this next console or handheld took so many batteries and the batteries didn't even last long, but it was really cool at the time. The Sega Game Gear. Now, for those who remember the Sega Game game, it was it was large. It took six AA batteries. You were lucky if you got like the adapter and all that shit. But it's so 13.9 million units of the Sega Game Gear. Now, they even had like Mortal Kombat, it had Sonic and all the cool games on it. Of course, limited in terms of production value. But nonetheless, being able to play Mortal Kombat in color on the go is what made this shit like a go to hit. Now, it was released on October 6, 1990, and it was the direct competition to the Game Boy. The Game Boy had the spinach green screen, but sold way more than this shit. And it took less batteries. Now, the biggest games were Sonic Chaos, Dunstar heroes and Streets of Rage 2. Streets of Rage was my shit. Now, it says there are several Game Gear sales totals floating around the web. There's one figure that pointed at about 10 million. And there's another point about a 12 million or 14 million. But either way, it's sold less than 14 million in the game. All right, Rio, you said the Game Boy color. Oh, the Game Boy color was dope because the Game Boy color came out about the time Pokemon came out. So when Pokemon came out, Game Boy color sales skyrocket, because all the kids wanted a fucking Game Boy color just to play Pokemon red and blue. All right, number 24, I was super disappointed at this next one here. The PlayStation Vita. God, my wife got me a PlayStation Vita when I was in AIT. And it only sold 14 million. It even had a Call of Duty with it. And it was very, very short. The PlayStation Vita only sold 14 million units. It was released in 2012. And one of the best games on it was Spelunky. I don't know what the fuck that was. I think Sony just kind of gave up on that handheld. It didn't have nearly as much support as the PSP. The PSP was diabolical. This shit here was just awful. But the way they did the PS Vita was wrong. Dead wrong. It says that despite a dedicated fan base, Sony's follow up to the PSP failed to gain a similar foothold in the handheld market, falling well short of its predecessor sales. Yeah. The cool thing about the Vita though, I think was the front facing camera. It had the pad in the back that was like a motion sensor shit, but it just didn't cut it. It didn't cut it. And a Midnight Club dub city on PSP. Oh my God. That was one of the best games I had. Midnight Club on PSP played it religiously. That was it just looks so good on there too. Like it looked pretty close to the to the PS2 version because all the PSP was was just a handheld PS2. And it looked pretty fucking good. I'm not even gonna lie to you. All right. This next console number 23, you probably never heard of before. It came out before the Sega Genesis. I remember playing it. The Sega Master System, very wedge shaped console. And yes, real, movies on the PSP was so dope. It was so good. I had the I had the Chappelle show on the PSP, the disc and people were like, I would sit there on the bus watching it. People were just watching along with me, man. It was it was dope watching the Chappelle show on the go with dope. Now, the Master System sold 20 million units. Again, this came out before the Sega Genesis. So a lot of you, I would say Google it. You probably never heard of this console, but that's how much it sold. Number 22, the Xbox, the original big ass Xbox. So 21 million units. Now, I remember when the Xbox came out, it was a really big fucking deal. A lot of people didn't see this coming and it introduced us to online play officially. Now, the PS2 had online play, but it wasn't as vast or big as Xbox Live. Xbox Live was it. When you got Xbox at this time, you were, but unfortunately, I did get an Xbox that Christmas and it broke after two days. It got some weird yellow light and it was done. I was mad ever since then. I didn't even buy the Xbox. It was a Christmas gift. So ever since then, I never bought another Xbox or Microsoft product again. Now, if you buy me an Xbox, I'll take it, but I'm not ever buying myself fucking Xbox. Now, it came out on November 15, 2001. And one of the best games on there was Halo. And of course, Grand Theft Auto, it was the first console besides Sony's to have Grand Theft Auto. And I don't ever think I see Nintendo ever with a Grand Theft Auto game. Probably not, but yeah. Now, this next console, I replaced that Xbox with and it's it holds a dear space in my heart, the Nintendo GameCube. Yes, people, we slept on the GameCube. The GameCube was a charming console. It looked like a little purple-ass lunchbox, but it had so much little charm to it. Not to mention, it was slightly more powerful than the PS2. Yes, if you could believe that, slightly more powerful than the PS2. It sold 21 million units. Now, it was it was actually wait, let me go back and see that. Oh, it's so it's so slightly more than the original Xbox, which is kind of crazy, because it was slightly less powerful. And not to mention, it didn't have online play, but that's probably because Mario, everybody loves Mario games. So kids probably ate this shit up. And that's why I probably sold more. Captain James was going on Happy Birthday. I want everybody to give a Happy Birthday to Captain James 994. Not only is he my executive producer, today is also his birthday. So everybody on the chat, whatever, give him a happy birthday. Send him a follow. He's a good dude. Happy birthday, James. All right, number 20. Yeah, shout out to the Nintendo GameCube, dude. Oh, that's it. That was a good console. Number 20, Xbox Series X already the that's the current Xbox already had 27 million and counting as far as console. So it already have sold way more than the original Xbox. It was released four years ago on November 10th worldwide. And the highest rated game is Elden Ring. Now I've seen Elden Ring. It's not my kind of game, but it looks pretty damn good. It says Microsoft has not officially disclosed console sales since 2015. But we have a good idea of Xbox Series X sales through 2023. The publisher reveals 77 million Gen 9 PS5 and Xbox X series consoles have been sold by the end of 2023. I mean, hey, man, there's new Xboxes. I like it. I like it. But again, like I mentioned before, you will never ever catch me ever by myself. All right. Number 19, the Atari 2600 that old school Atari sold 30 million console. It sold more than the PS Vita. That's the sad part. Yeah. Atari 2600 came out September 11th, 1977. You know, Atari almost single-handedly killed almost killed video games completely. But I will do an episode on the video game crash because believe it or not, there would have probably been no video games ever right now. If it wasn't for one company that helped save video games, and I'm not going to reveal who it was unless you're a historian, you sure already know, I will reveal that in that episode. But it came on September 11th, 1977, one of the best games and worst games, believe it or not, was Pac-Man. When Pac-Man came out for the Atari, it was the worst thing ever. E.T. was the worst game ever released. In fact, E.T. did so bad that they took a bunch of E.T. cartridges and buried it in the desert. That was no myth. That actually happened because stores were not selling it and they didn't know what to do with it. So they took all those bum-ass Atari games and buried it in the desert and not making the shit up. All right, so. Yeah, it's bad. And then they came out with the 5,270, 800 and then the Jaguar. Atari's last console was the Jaguar 64, which was absolute dog shit. All right, number 18. This next console, I used to wake up every morning for this because there was one particular shooter that came out for this game and no shooting game can beat this one game. In fact, this game crawled, so Call of Duty could walk GoldenEye. And of course, number 18, the Nintendo 64. All right, so 32 million units. Now, the Nintendo 64 went up against the PlayStation 1, but the PlayStation 1 beat it by far, but the PlayStation 1 didn't have GoldenEye. What sold the Nintendo 64 was GoldenEye, Mario 64, Diddy Kong racing, no Diddy. It's literally called Diddy Kong racing. All right. And perfect dark. I have South Park for it. In fact, I still have my South Park cartridge as we speak. And of course, Zelda and shit like that. It came out June 23rd, 1996 in Japan, and it came out the same year in the US. Best games, Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time, perfect dark and GoldenEye was the best high rated games according to the idea. All right, number 17, the Sega Genesis. The Sega Genesis, I don't know if I had to compare the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo, I'm more of a Super Nintendo fan. All right, you said the NES is your all time favorite Super Mario Bros on it. That's where my gaming started. It started on the NES. And that was my first game that and the and duck hunt. I used to have one cartridge that had Mario and duck hunt on one cartridge. That's what I played. And that that to me got me in the video games. And I've been hooked ever since. And yes, we have already just hit one point. We hit 1000 likes. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it. Shared a live. Tell your friend. All right. Sega Genesis, sold 35 million consoles came out October 28. I'm sorry, October 29th 1988. One of the highest rated games, Sonic the Hedgehog and Shining Force two. And I believe if you want the Sega Genesis at the time, Sonic came with it. So that's what helped it to be the number one selling game. Because when you bought a Genesis, you got a sonic game with it too. All right. So it says here, not going to read too much into it. But number 16, it's competition outsold the Genesis, the Super Nintendo. Super Nintendo might have been slower than the Genesis because the Genesis was a much faster console in terms of GPU. But Super Nintendo just did things better. I don't know, just did things that plus Mario and Zelda and shit. All right. Super Nintendo sold 49.1 million consoles. Just about. Let me see what that puts that over to Genesis. It puts it over Genesis by about my stupid ass computer. It beat it by five million basically, a little over five million. All right. It was released in 1990. One of the best rated games was Super Mario World two, Chrono Tiger and Super Metroid. Super Mario World was one of the first games that came out. I believe this came out about 1990 in the summertime here in the States. Super Mario World is by far the best Mario game ever played. I'm sorry, there's no other Mario game. It was so deep and enriching and the music was just pretty legendary. It had some really good quality fucking games. All right. Number 15, the Xbox one. Xbox one sold 58 million consoles. It was released in 2013. The highest rated game was Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto 5. All right. So I mean, now in comparison to the PS4, I'm pretty sure the PS4 sold a hell of a lot. So just remember that figure, Xbox one selling nine 58 million. Let's see what let's see what the next one is. The NES, the OG NES, this console, I'm gonna just say it, this console single-handedly saved video games. Remember, I just mentioned about the video game crash of 1983? Had that had it not been for the NES video games would not exist. There were so many consoles and they became a bad people. They want to buy them no more people stores. They want to sell them no more, but the Japanese took a chance came out with the NES even despite the fact that video games were dead at that time, but it caught on. And because of this console right here selling 61 million units is the reason why we still have video games today. The NES came out the same year I was born. It came out in 1983 in Japan, but it came out the summer of 1985 here in the States. All right. It says Nintendo's official numbers put NES at over 61 million. The most senior entry on this list, Nintendo's first console went on to generate over 500 million units of software sales. Wow. It's off. It's also credited with bringing the video games back from the dead after the video game crash. I told you Atari damn near cute video games and the NES Nintendo saved video games. So I mean, you can't you can't think shout out to Nintendo. All right. Number 13, the PS5. Remember how hard it was to get this damn thing? It sold 65 million units. It's outselling the Xbox Series X. Sorry Xbox, Microsoft fanboys or whatever. PlayStation is still king. PS5, even the spike, it's slow start sold 65 million million units as of right now. Still going though, but there's not a lot of games coming off for this generation. I'll be honest. The PS2 generation was by far the best generation in gaming. All right. The next one, Nintendo 3DS and we know the Nintendo Switch basically killed the Nintendo handheld because they were smart enough to make a console and a handheld together and it worked. The Nintendo 3DS, I never even had a Nintendo 3DS believe it or not. I've never had one and I kind of and it's kind of sad to say that because it was an awesome fucking thing. It sold 75.9 million units and it was in direct competition with the with the PSP. Only difference is like it didn't play movies. It was sold and it was initially released February 26, 2011 in Japan and about the same time here in the States. Yeah, I mean the 3DS was cool, man. And it came in so many different variations. Hey, what's going on? Pickle Rick. Thanks for joining the show. It came in so many variations had a front-facing camera and even got internet. You were able to even surf and play online with it. And I think it outsold it. I mean, the PSP, I don't think so. But they sold 300 over 300 million software sales. So it was a lot of games that got fucking sold. All right, Rio, you said you would love to go to Japan to see the old-school gaming store. Yes, I've heard that they're gaming stores that their classic gaming stores are top notch, top fucking notch. Number 11, the Game Boy Advance. I had one. I definitely had one of these. So 81 million units, the Game Boy Advance, came out in March of 2021 and the coolest game I think I played on the Game Boy Advance was Tony Hawk. It was a linear 3D game, but it was so cool to play. It even had the sound effects when you do the special tricks, everything. It was dope. It was absolutely dope. Next one, I'm just kind of breezing through this episode. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. Number, oh, went down to the last 10. The PSP, yes, it did outsell the, it did outsell the DS. The PSP was by far when the best handheld ever fucking made. I am in search of another PSP. I will get it in the heartbeat. Movies, games, everything. So 82.5 million units. All right, this shit here had no business being ahead of its time the way it was. I swear to God, no other handheld at this time. Not even a Game Boy Advance can touch this shit. It played movie. It went online. It did everything. This shit did everything. You could surf the web on it. Hell, they even had a thing that you can use it as a GPS. Pickle Rick, you still have a PSP. Yo, sell it to me. I will buy it off of you. Give me a price. Yes. And you know, I real honestly, I don't know what happened to my PSP. I don't know if I sold it or whatever. I have no idea. But yeah, PSP came out in 2004. I remember the first time I used Wi-Fi on it, because around that time, Wi-Fi was in its infancy and it was just coming around. But man, just the idea of going online and watching you know what on it was just like, kid, teenagers would go a wall with this thing because it was like, oh, I could watch, you know, what on this? Oh, man, I'm definitely getting a PSP. Mom, I want one. I want one. I'm more like, yes, porn. All right. Let's see. Number nine, Xbox 360. You know, I was not touching an Xbox because of the red ring of death. It was terrible. When that first, when the first batch of Xboxes came out, oh my God, they all overheated because of the shitty motherboards that they had. And with that, it was like so many people lost Xboxes. Then they upgraded it. They changed the board and all that and it worked and the rest is history. So I mean, yeah, what a time though. What a time the three Xbox. My God. Xbox 360 sold 85 million units. Yeah, 85 million units. It was, it started production about November 12. I mean, sorry, November 22, 2005. One of the biggest games on it was Grand Theft Auto 4, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Bioshock. Yeah, they reported 84 million, so they rounded up to about 85. Big wall. I mean, I don't get me wrong. The difference between the PS3 and the 360 was that the 360 could play DVDs, but couldn't play Blu-ray. So some games, unfortunately, have to come on to this versus the same game on the PS3, which was on one Blu-ray because again, Blu-ray can hold hell of a lot more than a DVD. That goes without saying. All right, number eight, it's competition of PS3. This console sold a little bit more at 87 million, but it was so controversial this console. And the reason why it was so controversial, because it's price, it had two tiers, one at 499. No, I believe one at 399, one at 499, or 499 at 599. Either way, this shit was way too expensive and way out of people's reach. I hey, Chiba, what's going on? Hey, thanks for joining. We're just going over a quick bonus episode on best-selling video game consoles. Right now, we're at number eight with the PS3. Sold 87 and a half million units. I remember I didn't get the fat PS3 that came out. I got the second gen. And now I currently have the very crude made, what you'm gonna call it, that PS3, the one that just has the sliding door tray and it's ugly. And yeah, it's ugly. I have that one. However, it was released on 2006. One of the best-selling games was Grand Theft Auto 4 and Grand Theft Auto 5 and Uncharted. What made this expensive too, the PS3 was the fact that it was a Blu-ray player. Now, Blu-ray was still in its infancy and the PS3 helped to bring Blu-ray to life, but you got a Blu-ray player at a very discounted price. Blu-ray players were already expensive, but this particular Blu-ray player, the PS3, you were able to surf online, play video games, and at the first PS3 that came out, you were able to play PS2 and PS1 games on that shit. That's probably why another reason was so expensive, but eventually they took that feature out to make a cheaper version and there you go. So if you still got the fat PS3, hold on to that shit. I mean, that thing was beautiful too. It looked like a little, it looked like a fucking a spacecraft. It was just, it was amazing to look at. It really was. It sold 87 and a half million. I still got my PS3, just not the fat one that came out at first. All right, now this next one. Now, at the time, this generation was one of the coolest generations because at the time the PS3 came out, the Nintendo Wii came out with the 360. Now, I remember the day the Wii came out, I searched everywhere for one that first day. Now, my ex-girlfriend at the time was working at Toys R Us over at Times Square. She gave me the scoop like, yo, we got, they had a lot because I guess Nintendo and Toys R Us had a deal. And with that deal, they had a bunch of fucking Nintendo Wii's. I got my little bracelet, got it online, got me a Wii that same day. It was so easy and it was cheap because it was only one. It was $200. The Nintendo Wii was $200 and the best part about it was that you got Wii Sports. Wii Sports. It was a Wii Sports one of the top selling games of all time, but that's not fair because it was bundled with the Nintendo Wii. So for every Nintendo Wii sold, it was a Wii Sports game sold. But again, the Wii Sports, you couldn't buy it by itself. You had to get it, um, you had to get a Nintendo Wii in order to get Wii Sports. That was the gimmick. All right, Rio, you said you got Switch Sports. It's still fun. I have yet to try Switch Sports. Yeah, I have yet to try it. I got to get it. I got to get it. But I remember we played the hell out of Wii Sports and man, the amount of TVs that broke because of that shit. Because at the time Nintendo had a very thin, flimsy wrist, wrist, wrist thing, you know, the string. And when people, people got a little too crazy with the Nintendo Wii in terms of like the interaction with the tennis ball and all that shit. So when people like used to pitch and swing, the, the, the could be the fucking Wii controller would fly off. And more than likely, since you're standing in front of the TV, it slammed right into the TV screen. So therefore, a lot of people lost TVs. Nintendo got sued. So they came out with a thicker band, right? And at that time, by the time they came out with a thicker band, I think people really started getting lazy with the, with the Wii, like instead of people sitting there standing up the swing, people were just sitting on the couch, just people that gimmick has passed and people were just like, man, I ain't doing all that. I ain't doing all that. I can't believe my phone is dying so fast. What is going on with this shit? I might have to run and go get my charger real quick because this shit is indeed dying and it's dying very quickly. And I don't like it. Uh, let me see. Hold on. I might have to run and go get the charger real quick for my phone. So let me see. Give me one second. I'll be back. And I'm going to finish this list. Give me one second. One second. One second. Don't. Give me your second. They sure don't last as long as they used to. So give me one second, folks. A whole setup here. That's just off the hook. Hopefully you can reach down there. Give me a second. I'll get that button. Oh shit. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. I need a better setup. Give me a second. And that sucks. The shit I got to go through with these fucking electronic. I'm back. Sorry about that. The fucking whole thing just fell over. I just make sure I'm still recording. All right. I'm back and it's charging. All right. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Yep. Still recording. Anyway, let's get back to that list people. So yeah, the Nintendo Wii, man, I need to do a whole episode on Justin Nintendo Wii because you have to be there. If you have, if you didn't ever own or buy an Nintendo Wii, you just had to be there. That shit was just, it was an incredible fucking console. gimmicky. Yeah, but it didn't seem like that at first. It didn't seem gimmicky because at the time it was interactive. There was no other gaming console quite like it. So people were just like, man, you can move because we're always used to just sitting there and just kind of fiddling with the buttons and shit. But we never, ever had that sort of interaction. You know, and then the price point, the price point was only $200. But it came at a sacrifice because one, for starters, you couldn't play DVDs on it, right? You couldn't play Blu-ray's on it. In fact, I don't even think you could play music CDs on it. No, it was just straight games. However, though, it was 100% backwards compatible with the GameCube, not to mention four controller ports built into the Wii to where you can play your GameCube games on it. It was fun. It was just great. And it was because Nintendo is not about having the most flashiest graphics and shit like that. They are in the business of just straight entertainment. And that's exactly what happened when they came out with the Nintendo Wii. In fact, I think one of the episodes this week was just I'm gonna do one on the Nintendo Wii because that console in itself is an episode. In fact, too, even Sony tried to copy it with the PlayStation Move and Xbox tried it. It did not catch on to the Wii. Nobody seen this coming at all. The Nintendo Wii was just blindsided everybody. It did. And it outsold both the 360 and outsold the PS3. Let that be known. In fact, the Wii's technology is still very much in the Nintendo Switch. So the Nintendo Wii really crawled so that the Switch can walk. Notice I didn't mention the Wii U because the Wii U is trash. And I feel bad for you if you actually did buy a Wii U. Terrible console. Hey, Mia, thank you so much for the roses. I appreciate it. I hope you're a gamer. I hope you're a gamer. Do you game? Let me know what console, Mia, that you play. What's your favorite console, if any? You know what I mean? I'm a Sony guy. I love Nintendo. I started with Nintendo, but I'm more of a Sony guy. I stick, I fucks with Sony. I don't fuck with Microsoft. I'm sorry. I had a very traumatic experience with Xbox. And I ever since then, it was just a no-go. Oh, you play Block Blast. Okay, Block Blast, Block Blast. Why does that sound familiar? Is that on Block Blast? Is that a, is that like a cell phone game or is that like an actual console game? It sounds familiar. I'm not too familiar with it. You got to kind of fill me in on Block Blast. But yeah, Nintendo Wii. Oh, it's on your phone. Listen, people, I know what you're thinking. If you're, oh, if you play video games on your phone, you're not, yeah, that's not gaming. Yeah, the fuck it is. Gaming on your, gaming on your cell phone is gaming. I don't give a shit what anybody says. I don't care if it's Candy Crush to call a duty. It's gaming because think about it. If, if playing, if gaming on your cell phone was a gaming, then why the fuck is call a duty on your phone? And you could play with it with a controller and everything. That's gaming. Cell phone games is gaming. And you play dress to impress too. I play dress to impress. Is that a game too? Is that also on the phone? Again, you got to fill me in. I'm a gamer, but I don't know everything. All right, I'll be honest with you. I'm more of a console guy. I love Candy Crush. I'm up to like almost level 2800. My old, my old ass. Oh, it's on Roblox. Okay, Roblox. I never could get into Roblox. I know it's like extremely popular, but I never could get into it. Pickle Rick, you say, is it gaming when it's on your vape? Wait, it depends on the game. It depends on the game. What, what are you playing on? Are you playing like Grand Theft Auto on your vape? Are you playing Tetris or what are you playing on there? Then we'll determine whether or not it's actual gaming. This man, hey, you missed probably some vapes. I've seen people play like Snake on them and shit. I'm like, man, you take a puff, play some snake. You take a puff Tetris. I mean, whatever the hell you playing on your, your thing. All right, James Lee, just said you never made it past pong. Wait, hold on, James, hold on. You never made it past pong. As in, like, you never played any more video games after pong. I mean, that's, that's kind of crazy. And I know that a pong back in the days was a big fucking deal, even though it was just you turning a knob and doing this shit. Listen, it was hours of fun, hours of fun. I've never played in Atari 2600. I'll be honest with you. Um, but hours of fun. All right, Mia, you said block glass is like Tetris. Ooh, I like Tetris. I love puzzle block games. Listen, it would not, if it wasn't for Tetris, we wouldn't have Candy Crush. We won't have block glass. We won't have bust the movie. We won't have any of those puzzle games without Tetris and Tetris, believe it or not, has a very dark history behind it. There's a movie even based on Tetris. Check it out. Um, but yeah, moving right along from the Nintendo Wii. All right, let's see here. I thought all my brightness here, my screen is kind of dim. Let's see what we got here. See. I guess I'll fix it. I bet. Now, next console, let's see what we got here. I'm pretty sure you guys have an idea what's the number one console of our best selling console of all time. In fact, I'll give guess below guess what or tell me what you think is the best selling console of all time. All right, Rio dance dance revolution for PS two. I remember when that shit was such a big deal. Dance dance revolution or guitar hero. Oh my God. When I worked at target guitar hero, that's when guitar hero was at its peak. They had guitar hero Beatles. They had rock band. Rock band was like the competitor to guitar hero, but guitar hero sold so much more. All right, pickle riff. You said GameCube. I just went over the list of GameCube GameCube to me. Honestly, was slightly better than the PS two. I know you guys are going to want to fight me for that as far as power because the GameCube was slightly more powerful than the PS two. The only Achilles heel to the GameCube was that it had those small little Panasonic disc which limit some games in terms of performance and space. So like GTA, you could not fit on the Nintendo GameCube disc. All right, Rio, you said you stayed up all night when guitar hero dropped. Which guitar hero did you have though? Because they had a there was guitar hero one, two, three, the Beatles version. There was so many of them. And it's crazy. Like guitar hero is not a thing anymore. Like, it was a thing. And it just disappeared. Just like that. Like no mention of it ever coming back out again. It's kind of crazy when you think about it. All right. Um, let's see what that's. Yeah, it's kind of weird. Oh, you had the original red guitar. Okay. Okay, I've never played guitar here. I never got into it. But it was at a time where like dance dance revolution and rock band came out. It was all direct competition with each other. All right, but down to the last six. All right, the OG of consoles is right here. The PlayStation, the original PlayStation, not not the, uh, not the PS2, PS3. We're talking the original PlayStation comes in at number six. That's right. Oh man, I know the first time I booted up a PlayStation and I heard that sound. It was like crazy that that that Japanese like that shit was crazy to me. Um, but it's coming at a number six, the PlayStation, the original Ray OG sold 102 million units. I mean, nobody seeing this coming out at the time that the PlayStation came out. There were only two competitors on Nintendo and Sega. Now, the PlayStation itself has a very interesting history because the PlayStation was almost a Nintendo console. If you did Nintendo and Sony came out with a console called the PlayStation where it was a disc base, but it looked like a Nintendo. It was a weird thing and somebody actually bought one too. The prototype, I think somebody bought it. Anyway, unfortunately, what happened as the story goes, um, all right, really said notorious VIG played the Sega Genesis and he also played the Super Nintendo too. If you ever heard the song, Super Nintendo Sega Genesis, he played them both. Um, but at the time, Nintendo and Sony quietly made a deal to create a console kind of like a hybrid cartridge, CD kind of deal. They built a prototype. They did. Nintendo quietly backed out of the deal and and Sony was left with nothing. And Sony was like, I fuck you, Nintendo. We're gonna come out with our own thing. So in 1994 in Japan, they came out with the PlayStation. We got it, of course, a year later. Nobody was expecting this shit because at the time, a CD based console was not big of a thing. Now, the last one that came out was the Sega CD, which was just basically like an attachment. It was a console in itself, but it was more of an attachment to the Genesis because it couldn't play without the Genesis. So, you know, Sony came up with the PlayStation. It's a very simplistic system. Played CD ROMs, CD ROMs that were only able to hold about 700 megabytes of space, but developers got so much into that disc. We had like whole games like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Cool Borders, Die Hard Trilogy, they had some of the best fucking games of that generation without a doubt. All right, 102 million units sold by Sony. The biggest games that came, I was Tony Hawk's Pro Skated 2. I had it and Tekken 3 and Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo changed racing games or racing sim games forever without a doubt. All right, it says, according to Sony, the original PlayStation's final sale total sits at about 102.4 million with over 960 million games sold. The original PlayStation. It was just full 3D polygon games. One of the coolest features it had was a CD player. Yes, I still have my PlayStation 1, but I don't have the gray one. I have the remodeled smaller PS1 that came out. I think around 2000 or 99 or 2000, I have that one. And I still have a nice little collection of PS of PlayStation 1 games. I got to get more though. I got to find some more classic games. But yes, I still have it. Now, number five, the PS4. 117 million units sold of the PlayStation 4. The PlayStation 4, it was, it's a great, it's a great console. And it showed a lot of promise, especially with the PS4 Pro came out. Now, it sold 117 million units, came out November 15, 2013 here in North America, almost an hour, almost an hour, good, good, good. It's production is still ongoing. Yes, people, Sony, listen, stop fucking making PS4 games. The only reason they're still putting shit on PS4 is because they think a lot of people don't have the PS5, which is true. A lot of people still rocking a PS4. I still rock mine, but every new Call of Duty I've gotten so far has been on a PS5. I can't think to buy a new Call of Duty on the PS4 no more. That's taking a step back. But it was because of the gaming shortage of 2020 where all the scalpers and shit bought all those PlayStation is the reason why it robbed a lot of people at first. And it robbed Sony of a lot of potential sales. So this shit is still in production. PS4 has been going since 2013. We're talking 11 years, 11 years. Normally a console's gaming life is roughly, I know for Nintendo is like five to seven years. Sony route six, seven, eight years. This shit is still going on 11 years. You can still get a new PS4 game as we speak. Let it go people. Listen, it's about time you get a PS5. Get a used one if you have to get a used one because they're not going to stop making it and it's holding shit back for the PS5. Honestly, the PS5 has even reached its full potential because of this shit. All right. All right. Rio, you said what's next for Nintendo? Well, the Nintendo's the switch to the switch to is dropping next year. We just don't know when yet. I don't even think it's been revealed. It has not been revealed, but it's more than likely more than certain is going to drop next year. That's the next thing for Nintendo. I think Nintendo's done with handhelds. They no longer do it handheld. Hey, Caesar, thanks for joining the show because what's the point of coming up with a handheld when the switch is a handheld? Also a console. So that allows Nintendo to put all the resources in the one console. It's had two different consoles such as like a console and a handheld. You can focus all your energy and research your development into one thing. All right. PS4 though. All right. That was PS4. Number four, the Game Boy and Game Boy color. Yes. Remember that green spinach screen that you had a hard time looking at in the dark and you had to buy that fucking lamp? To go with it? Yes. Game Boy and Game Boy color. 118.6 million units sold by Nintendo over the course before the Game Boy events. All right. Now the Game Boy came out long time ago, 1989. Yep. Came out in 1989. One of the biggest games was Metal Gear Solid. Yes, people, Metal Gear Solid is old as shit. It's been around forever. Super Mario Brothers Deluxe and the Legend of Zelda. The Oracle of Ages. Game Boy Color. It was a nice size handheld. I had decent sound, I guess. Four double A batteries. That's it. Not like Game Gear that had fucking six double A batteries, but that was because the Game Gear had a backlight and it had the produced color, which in turn in a higher graphics card, which in turn means it's going to need more fucking battery. Game Boy only needed four batteries. All right. Now the Game Boy says the sales speaker comes directly from Nintendo and includes the sale of both the original and the Game Boy Color. Five hundred and one million units of software was sold for the console. Yeah. Game Boy, the Game Boy was dope. What helped Game Boy sell a lot more was Pokemon. And fix for what's going on? When is the R Kelly versus Diddy episode? I knew you, while I knew you were going to ask that. Let me, let me kind of change gears real quick. That would be a very difficult episode. I think if we did an episode on R Kelly versus Diddy, it would have to be like, how will we be able to do that? Because one was a producer and one was an RB singer. So I don't know how I can make this episode. I will engineer R Kelly and Diddy. Maybe we could talk about those two in terms of their legal troubles. We can definitely do that because man, one is serving 30 years right now. And the other one is pending some time. So maybe we can put a R Kelly Diddy episode because musically, I can't even be compared because there are two different entities. So we can't quite do that fix. But I'm working on an episode just for you. All right. Number three. Now we're down to the last three consoles. Number three, the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch learn Nintendo learn a thing or two from the Wii U. The Wii U crawl so that the Nintendo Switch can fly. Because if you notice, a lot of the technology that's in the Switch came from the Wii U, which subsequently came from the Nintendo Wii. Now the Nintendo Switch, the difference between the Wii U and the Switch was that the Wii U, you couldn't take portable. You can use the controller to play portable in your house, but you couldn't like take it with you because it could not disconnect from the console. The Switch is a console and all Nintendo did was make a gray dock and put it on there. Everybody said you love the Switch. Yeah, it's one of the best console Nintendo consoles ever innovated, taking the idea of a console, a handheld, and putting them together and it worked. Again, the Wii U had the idea, but the Wii U had to be within the vicinity of the console. You couldn't take the Wii U out in the street or you could take the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo learned a thing or two about that Wii U because it was a flop. I don't know anybody that's still even playing. I'm surprised Black Ops 2 came out for the Wii U, but no Call of Duty came out for the Switch. I can only hope. My thing is this. I don't know how it would work, but if they could manage to get Call of Duty mobile or some sort of Call of Duty game on the next Switch, which I don't see any excuse why not, that would help playing card on the go like that. I mean, you already could do it with your cell phone, but on a Nintendo console, that would be cool because we haven't had a Call of Duty on the Nintendo console since the Wii U. It's been a little minute. All right, the Nintendo Switch still ongoing in production. It came out worldwide on March 3rd, 2017, which that's also the rumor reel that they're pointing at a springtime timeframe for the Nintendo Switch 2 to come out, which I also heard is completely backwards compatible with the original Switch. And if that's the case, that is going to be an absolute win. The best game, the best games for the Nintendo Switch is the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and the Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom are some of the highest rated games on the Nintendo Switch. Now, it said by the end of 2022, Nintendo Switch became the third best-selling video game console of all time, even outselling the Wii. Passing the lifetime sales totals of PS4 and GameCube. It sales total as of September this year, now sits at about 146 million closing in on Nintendo's best-selling hardware, the Nintendo DS. Honestly, I think by the time the Switch 2 comes out, I think by then it will already have outsold the DS, which is why I said that I don't think there's ever going to be a separate Nintendo handheld ever coming out again. Now, it says according to Nintendo, over 1.3 billion people, not millions, 1.3 billion software units were sold for the Switch, most than any other Nintendo console before. It says that Mario Kart Deluxe 8 remains the console's best-selling video game with more than 64 million units sold. The Switch combines the console and handheld business lines Nintendo formally supported with separate hardware and software. It saves so much money to it. In the research development, they could put more resources and power into a hybrid console handheld rather than one division just working on handheld and the other division working on console. All right, now, number two. All right, we're down on the last two. Take a guess real quick as I read over to Nintendo. That's number two Nintendo DS. Take a guess. What's the number one selling console? Write it down on the bottom. Take a guess. Some of you might be wrong. Some of you might be right because I haven't gotten to it yet, but it should come as no surprise on what's the number one selling gaming console of all time. I'm talking about since 1972 since the Odyssey came out. Number two, the Nintendo DS. Direct competition to the PS. Now, they were both fundamentally different. I mean, they were, well, I guess they were fundamentally the same. They're handheld, but they were so much different. What made the DS special was that it had two screens. That's why DS dual screen. It sold 154 million units and it came out in different variations too. I mean, you had the 3DS, the 3DS XL, and of course, the OG DS, you had a lot of shit and it just looks so good too. It was it was amazing. And sadly, I didn't have one. I never had one. I only had a PSP because I'm more of a Sony fanboy than a Nintendo fanboy and it's sad because I started with Nintendo. But yeah, I mean, Nintendo DS though, it was a powerhouse. It got it had internet, the stylist being able to like, you know, point at things and click things. So like kids had like their own little fucking tablet kind of thing going on where they could just click and touch screens and touchscreen was in this infancy when it came to shit. PSP was not touchscreen. That was the one feature that was missing on the PSP. But you could watch movies on the PSP. You could surf the internet on both of them. I'm pretty sure there might have been some restrictions in case you wanted to watch some naughty stuff when you Nintendo DS, which is creepy anyway. But they both they both were powerhouses. Now, it came out November 21st, 2004 here in America. And Captain James, yes, thank you for the likes, keep sending the likes. Thanks for joining Carolina. Um, I got to drag this little puzzle piece because I'm almost an hour into the show. Yes, I'm good. All right. So, best selling highest rated games on the Nintendo DS was Grand Theft Auto, Chinatown Wars, Flipno Studio and Chrono Tiger. Surprisingly, not Nintendogs. You guys remember Nintendogs when it came out. You had virtual dogs kind of like, um, Tamagotchis and Nano pets a few years before it. It was a game where you play with dogs. The cutest fucking game ever to come out on a Nintendo console. Nintendogs. That didn't sell a lot. That should have been like one of the top selling games or at least one of the highest rated games anyway. And the fact that you could play online, you could play Mario Kart online, even has Smash Bros on here. You could play that online. It was dope playing this online, but not very stable. Nintendo's online is not the most stable, especially when it came to trying to play the Smash Bros on the Wii online. Oh, it was so skippy. It was bad. The connectors were bad. Your characters were just doing this shit. It was just a terrible way. It was bad, but I guess it also depended on your internet connection. So I mean, yeah. All right, it says the sales figures come directly from Nintendo and encompasses total sales for all systems within the DS family, because again, they came out with different DS variation. All right, Rio, you say you never played online for the Switch. I have it's it's pretty stable. I played Mario Kart. I get my ass kicked on that shit all the time because the Japanese players be fucking me up. All right, it says, including the original model, the DS Lite DSi, Nintendo DS is also the company's best performing system in terms of software sales with nearly 950 million game sold. And yes, you do have to pay to play online, but it's really cheap. I think the starting is like less than 10 bucks for like a one month membership. And you got to pay membership. It's like, it's like Sony and Microsoft. But at one point, Nintendo used to have free online. But Sony also have free online low history tidbit. You guys remember that whole Sony mishap back in 2010, where everybody got hacked their accounts got hacked shit fucked up since then. If you notice, Sony has never had online free again. So because at the time that happened, the PS3 was free to play online. And you had to pay the play on Xbox, but it was way more stable. It was more secure and it proved it because I remember when I my account got hacked, the crazy part was I didn't lose any money on my credit cards and nothing was was fucked up. But somehow I was so mad because I had modern warfare, the original OG modern warfare. And what happened was was that by the time the video game, the online crash was over. My account was prestige. I didn't grind or nothing. It was automatically prestige. I was so mad because the idea the best part about a new Call of Duty is grinding to prestige. It was prestige before I even got to prestige. I couldn't believe it. I don't know how to count that as a win or a loss. Either way, that shit was crazy. And then like, oh, it was bad. It was fucking bad. But yeah, Nintendo was also online. This shit was free online for a bit too. Now you got to pay for it. I mean, because now you got to think they learned from the Sony 2010 hack, which their online was down for a whole month. You couldn't play online at all. And there was no cross platforming at the time. So if you were a PlayStation owner and you could you wanted to play card online, you could it for a whole month. It was bad. It's Sony learned their lesson since then now. But part you all been waiting for the number one time. I'm gonna give you guys another minute to tell me or take a guess what you think is the number one selling video game console of all time. Rio, you said the PS2. Let me get one more answer out of anybody. What you guys think is the best selling console of all time because I think it's quite obvious. And it's from a company who didn't even start in video games at all. That's the crazy part. Now this figure on this number one console has just been released just this past week. These are exact sales. Hey, thanks Justin for the roses, man. Appreciate it. You guys you guys could be in your title. I like Justin, take a guess what you think is the number one selling console of all time. I'll take one more guess. Somebody Rio said the PS2. Ah, let's see. All right, Justin, you said the PS5? I don't know if this is the best selling console of all time. I mean, it's still in production. All right, fact you said the Xbox 360. I mean, it's up to end sales. It was on this list, but I don't even think it was in the top 10 on this is actually the Xbox 360. Let me scroll back up real quick for you. The Xbox 360. I know I seen it up here. The Xbox 360. Let me just damn it. Give me a sec, peeps. Xbox 360. I just seen that shit too. It was somewhere here, but it was definitely not number one, but I mean, it did sell a lot. That goes without saying it sold a lot. But it definitely was not. Let me see. I'm trying to see where was the Xbox 360. I'm still scrolling down the list to see exactly and what place was the Xbox 360. I'm still looking. All right, now I'm down to the top 10. Maybe it might have been in the top 10. Yes, it was actually number nine on this list and the Xbox 360. So 85 million units. All right, I took the two guesses. Let's get to the number one best selling console of all time. According to IGN, and it's not just IGN, okay, I checked many a fucking list and this console was on every single one as the number one. My God, stop scrolling. Stupid ass page. That's what I got. Yeah, if I could fix this, give me a second, people. All right, the number one selling console of all time, the PlayStation two. The PlayStation two is the number one best selling console of all time as of this month. The PS two sold one hundred and sixty million units as of this month. The PS two, I could give you millions of reasons why the PS two absolutely deserves this spot. The PS two lived throughout one of the best gaming generations of all time. We've seen some hits come out of the PS two game cube and Xbox error. That goes without saying. Now the PS two, if I remember, went all the way up to about because the PS three dropped in 2006. So I think one of the last PS two games to come out was Call of Duty World at War. I think that was probably the last one to come out and I was in 2007. So this game had a seven year run. The PS four has an 11 year run and not even close to this many fucking souls. This console here was a really big deal. In fact, the PS two single-handedly killed the Dreamcast period when the Dreamcast came out two years, actually a year before the PlayStation two. It was a big deal, but there was the one thing that killed the PS. I mean, that killed the Dreamcast that the PS two had and it was a fucking DVD player. It was probably one of the best values of a DVD player you could ever have. It played PS one games every single title. It played DVD game. It played DVDs. It played PS two games. It played music CDs. Eventually you were able to play online with it. It was just a fantastic console and no matter how you played it laying down or standing up. Yeah. All right. Real, you said Pro Evolution Soccer was the last game PS two ever released. Okay. I stayed corrected. Pro Soccer was the last game on the PS two and we're talking like 2007, 2008, but a system was such a short run. That is impressive, but there's a lot of reasons why the PS two did as well as it did and why it's still highly sought out. I still got my PS two, not the skinny one. I still got the fat OG PS two, which was the best. There was nothing more satisfying than putting like putting the game in here in the disc tray clothes and hearing that shit spool up. But when it played the blue disc games, it was so noisy though. These are CD ROM games. But when they played the DVD based games, it was I one of the games. There's one game in particular that helped the PS two sell as much as a day. In fact, I think this game is also one of the number one soul games on that console, Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas is one of the highest, if not, the highest selling game on that console. In fact, it is what also helped PS two sales because at the time, it only came out for the PS two and then Microsoft fanboys were crying about, Oh, why we can't get Grand Theft Auto? And eventually, San Andreas did come out for the Xbox along with all the other OG Grand Theft photos. They reported on to the Xbox and this is why now you see Grand Theft Auto titles on Xbox is because Microsoft fanboys cried about it. But but let's be honest, it helped a lot. It really helped a lot. Hey, Anna, what's going on? Hopefully you're having a good night. It's a much more calm show than this time talking about some of the best selling video games of all time. And number one was the PS two. Oh, you're working on a Saturday. Well, you know, the grind doesn't stop. It's all good. There'll be many shows this week coming up that you could join when you have the time. All right. Hopefully you have a great day at work. The PS two was work. That was just a marvel of a console that I caught Sega Nintendo completely off guard, but Microsoft when they came out with the Xbox, it was called Project Midway. It's a reference to World War two to end Sony and Nintendo. Never happened. It's still in competition to this day. Listen, PS two. All right. Came out March 4th 2000 in Japan, but it came out in 2001 here in the States. I remember I got it for Christmas. The highest rated game was Tony Hawk Pro Skater three, which by far is one of the best, if not the best Tony Hawk game to ever come out. In fact, I'm going to do an episode on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater from the best to the worst Tony Hawk games because I could tell you right now, the worst Tony Hawk game I've ever played was downhill jam for the Nintendo Wii. That was by far an awful game game. I don't know what they're thinking when they came out with that. Now, I'm going to read about the PS two. The PlayStation two. Wait, I think I might have a guest on here. Let's see what we got. Chase, Chase, Chase. Hey, what's going on? Chase. Well, give give us a second to offer. Oh, and he said the original PlayStation was fine. Oh, absolutely. Without a doubt, we just lost that person. It's all good. I guess they'll try against them all the time. But no, the PS one. Oh my God, when that startup screen came up and you hear that? Oh, man, it was just amazing. It says the PlayStation two remains the best selling video game console of all time. I don't think anything is ever going to beat this ever. Not the PS four and not the switch. Nothing. What's going on, Chase? Yo, yo, yo. What's up? What's up? What's up? Nothing much, man. What's going on? How are you? You like the PS four? Yeah, I'm a big Sony person, man. But I'd say the PS one was the best one of all time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So right here says the PlayStation two remains the best selling video game console of all time. What's going on, Chase? You good back there? My bad, my bad. Yeah, yeah. So all right. The PS two is the biggest game console of all time. Hey, I'm making a lot of noise, man. Yeah, time for you to go. All right. So it says Sony's beloved system tops Nintendo DS by roughly five million units. So while hand while handling outselling every other console in its existence. Like I said, it says as of January 31st, 2011. That's my birthday, by the way. Sony has sold 150 million PlayStation twos to retailers. While that was the last official total reported, the console will remain in production through early 2013. That's crazy because at that time, the PS four just came out. Yeah, tell me about it. I didn't even know I thought production stopped around the time the PS three. Well, no, the PS three came out in 2006. So I thought maybe a year or two after that the PS four the PS two was done. No, 2013, it was still making PS three. I mean, PS two's. Jesus, it says, night go partners analyst Daniel Ahmad noted sales client to 155 million through March of 2012. That means people were still buying new PS twos in 2012 into 2013. We crunch the numbers and arrive at the 159 million estimated of cumulative sales. The console software sold at 1.5 billion. 1.5 billion PS two games were sold. You cannot make this up according to Sony that thanks to its massive install base and some of the best PS two games of all time. I'm gonna tell you one of the best fighting games I've played on the PS two. Death jam fight for New York. I still have my copy right there in my collection. I and he said and when did the PS two come out? I missed that. It came out October. Okay. So in Japan, it came out March of 2000. But here in the States, it came out October that same year. And one of the first games on it was Gran Turismo. I believe was one of the first games on it. Oh, you've been an ex. Oh, man. Come on. I thought you were my friend Xbox. Oh, no. Xbox. No, no. I'm sorry. I had a traumatic experience when the Xbox. I'll give it. I'll give you the story real quick. We're gonna go back to Christmas of 2001. Right when the Xbox came out. I got an Xbox and I got a PS two along with them that Christmas to I got both of them. Yeah, I was kind of a spoiled kid. So we get the Xbox two days and my cousin plays Halo. He puts Halo in the Xbox and the shit broke. It got a yellow light and it was never fixed ever. In fact, we tried fixing it. It was a birthday present from my mom and not birthday. I'm sorry. It was a Christmas present from my mom and she threw away the receipt so that we couldn't even take the damn thing back. And we were stuck with a broke Xbox. It was sad. Oh, my two days. Can you imagine one of the biggest consoles of the time breaks two days out the box? I was hurt. And you know what? Ever since then, I never bought another Xbox ever again. Now, Anna, if you want to buy me an Xbox or anybody want to buy me an Xbox, I will take it. But coming out of my own pocket, I'm never never buying an Xbox ever. So you know what I did when that Xbox broke, I saved some money and I went and bought a Nintendo GameCube. I am not fucking joking. I bought a Nintendo GameCube and never looked back since you laugh, but the GameCube was pretty dope. I love the GameCube. Oh, man, I was hurt. I was hurt, but I never bought another Xbox again. So I said, fuck no. Absolutely not. Let me see. But yeah, that's the top 28 video game consoles of all time. Yes. Oh, when you switch jobs, I got you. All right. I bet. When you switch jobs, you let me know. I'll give you my address. You send me an Xbox. I'll be damn if I buy one. And the GameCube. Oh, I love the GameCube. The GameCube now, like I said earlier in the show, was slightly more powerful than the PS2. It performed a little bit better. Load times a little bit better. Some games suffer because putting a game on that little disc was bad. Like, let me see. Hold on. Anna, you said my friend always loved playing Zelda on her GameCube. Oh, yeah. The Wind Waker was one of the top games where it looked like a little cartoon, that art style of Zelda. I remember that. And some other, it was like maybe two or three Zelda games. I think that dropped on that console. But the GameCube has a special place in my heart, man, because like, I remember playing a beautiful Joe on it. I played Smash Bros on it. I played Crazy Taxi on it. I played a lot of games on the GameCube. In fact, I'm still looking to buy a GameCube. Like, I have a Wii and I have a small little collection of Nintendo GameCube games, but I don't have the actual console. It was so cool that little console on the, you know, a little orange light and shit. I mean, I like the GameCube. And yes, I'm not ashamed of replacing my Xbox with a fucking GameCube. Because at least the GameCube worked, right? It didn't break on me. It didn't fail on me. It worked every goddamn time. Anna, you said when you were like eight or nine, my uncle played Sims on the PC and I just took over that and got a PC. See, I didn't know you were a PC gamer. Like, there's not a lot of women that game on a PC, which is crazy because, you know, forever in the day, video games always looked at as a man, a boy thing. And now there are more female gamers than ever before, but I hear about them a lot on the consoles. They're not really on a PC, but that's pretty dope though. I mean, what's, let me ask you, Anna, what is your favorite game of all time? I look like you might say the Sims, but you say you only typically play the Sims on the PC and sometimes I play Dead by Daylight. Okay, I've heard of that game. Never played it though. It's not really, it's not exactly my genre. But what is your favorite game of all time? I mean, I can go on, I don't even have a favorite game. One of my favorites, I will say favorites is Crash Bandicoot. I absolutely love Crash Bandicoot. Yeah, he's been through some shit in the first and throughout some years with some really shitty games, but Crash Bandicoot is definitely like on the OG PlayStation. Fantastic. Oh my god. What hurt me about that, Anna, about when you know how they remade the Crash Games, the original three, what hurt me about that was that the remakes of those games were harder than the originals. It's almost to me unplayable. Like, I got the original Crash Bandicoot games, I think mine is part two for the PS1, but I got the remake that they came out, the remaster, and they are harder than the originals. How do you make a Crash Bandicoot game or remake one completely from this from scratch and then just make it harder than the original one? It kind of like stole the nostalgia away from me because I was like, man, but you know what? If I want to go back to an easier Crash, I just go and plug in the PS1 and just play Crash. That's it. Chris, what's going on, talking about the best top selling video game consoles of all time. I've already revealed that the PlayStation 2 is the best selling console of all time with 160 million units as of this year. Actually, as of last month, I think 160 million units. No fucking Xbox is going to do that. I promise you, I don't think ever an Xbox is going to sell that much. It don't even look like it will. I mean, PS2 again had some banger games. Def Jam Fight for New York, San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto, Vice City, Grand Theft Auto 3. It had so much shit. And that's where Call of Duty was born. Actually, the PC, but no, no, no, it was on the consoles too. That's right. It was on the console. Man, it just, you know, all of the nostalgia. Oh, by no monkey. Hey, good evening. What's going on? Oh, by no monkey. What's up? Hey, we had some people on there last night pretending to be you. They were like, oh, we know I'll buy no monkey. It might have been that dude with the deep voice. I had to ban him from the show because he was being a fucking idiot because he was making weird sounds and it sounded like he had a whole bunch of kids locked up in his basement. It was fucking weird. But yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm glad you're on the show we're talking about or we're just wrapping up. Yeah, yeah, exactly. They were all being lame. Oh, I couldn't stand them. I haven't even unbanned them. I don't think I will because they were just like all all over the fucking place. They gave me a fucking headache. But no, I was, I listened to the whole show again and I was rolling. That was a funny ass show last night. I'm not even going to hold you. It was so much fun. I was listening to it in my car as I was driving because what I do is after the first play that I get recorded from somebody on Spotify, I go ahead and I play the episode I hear it myself. And it was just, you know, it sounded like a complete radio show. My God. But yeah, I'll definitely knock it out. Those dudes are staying off my fucking show. It's one thing to play around. But when you start making my regular guests uncomfortable, you got a fucking go. You out of there. So, and I'm so glad you were on the show. And most importantly, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. You were a great guest is Captain James talking to you though. I know he, did he, did he actually hit you up after the show? Let me know. Also remember today's his birthday too. So, yeah, today's his birthday. But no, that was a fun ass show last night. People, if you get a chance on Fridays and they will be one this upcoming Friday, the round table, please join us on the round table. It's like a whole radio show thing happening. It's, it's a lot of fun. Oh, you say hit you up once and nothing after that. Yeah, that's, that's, that's him. You know, don't, don't, don't bother too much about him. That man's all over the place. Good dude though. He's like, he's awesome dude. But he's, he's basically like all over the place. So, I don't know. But um, whoa, but that was a fun show. So before I wrap up the show tonight, this was just a bonus episode. It wasn't scheduled. I will definitely put the, the schedule for the show tonight. There will be a show every day this week, between Monday and Friday. Yes, there will be. Definitely no bonus episode tomorrow for sure. I got a lot of shit to do. I'll buy no monkey today. I went over the top selling video game consoles of all time. I went through 28 of them starting from the Sega Dreamcast and the number one console, which was the PlayStation two, which sold at 160 million units. I mean, PS two. Hey, albino, you ever had a PS two? I know I, I still have mine. It's not plugged up though. And I got to find the original controllers for it. Cause those, uh, third party controllers are trash, but I need to find them. Oh, you had a PS three. Okay. So what was the first console you ever played? Cause I got asked people this shit. And that kind of reveals their age a little bit. Um, for me, it's the NES. I played the NES for the first time. So that should already tell you my age, my age range. Okay. Your first console was a PS three. So you were 2000s kid or at least a late nineties kid, I think, cause PS three, uh, came out in 2006. So for you, that would be, you would be like a late nineties kid or yeah, early, uh, mid to late nineties kid. Anna, no way. Your first was Atari. We're talking like the 20, the old, the very first Atari 2600. We're talking that, right? Let me tell you something. You go to Walmart, they got this crazy Atari console that has over 200 Atari games on it. It was only like 60 something dollars on Black Friday. I should have bought it. Cause when I went back today, I think they were all sold out. All right. Anna. Yeah. Atari. Whoa. That wasn't even my first console. NES was my first console, but Atari. And then, uh, he's a binder. You got a PS three when you were five. See, I kind of figured you were 2000s kid. Cause when you said PS five was your console, I was like, yeah, he's fairly young. Like I said, getting that gives the age away, um, somewhat when it comes to, consoles and shit like that. Let me see if I got somebody I got a guest on here. I think that's popping up, even though we're about to wrap up the show. What's going on official? Yo, Hey, what's up? Hey, what's going on, man? Happy Saturday to you. How you doing? Pretty good. Pretty good. Are you good? Good man. I'm talking about tonight on this podcast. You're actually on the podcast right now. Um, going over the best selling video game consoles of all time. You play video games. I think he paused. Man, what's going on? Yes, that's going to be more stable. Anyway, before I wrap up the show, um, again, no bonus episode, anything at all tomorrow. That's not happening. Um, it's the summer. I got a lot of shit to do. I lit my Christmas tree up today, which is pretty cool. Well, actually, you know, I did that Friday, whatever, um, but there will be a show. All right. I'll buy and they said you would have joined, but you're in a noisy environment. Oh, yeah. Hey, thank you for that because last night we had these goons on and they sound like they had a whole bunch of kids locked up in their basement and I had to cut them the fuck off. And I was just like, no, Anna, you enjoy your Sunday as well. Absolutely don't work too hard and, um, Atari, I can't believe Atari was your first console and I'm supposed to be the gamer here and that wasn't even my first console, but you're amazing. You're an amazing person. All right. I'll find out. You said, yeah, they're terrible. Uh, yeah, they are terrible. I'll buy no monkey. Let me ask you because I think you're related to these yahoos from last night. Are they like your fucking cousins or something? Because they were pissing me off last night. I swear to God, that dude with the deep voice that you mentioned showed up on the show last night doing some crazy shit. All right. And he said, you got to be rotting in bed doing laundry and going to the gym. No work tomorrow. Well, make sure you take some time for yourself. Don't work too hard. Enjoy. Um, but yes, absolutely getting what you got to get into me. What I like doing Sundays, I do general cleaning, you know, start, you know, cleaning. I got to start packing soon as well. And I might take a step outside somewhere, you know, stuff like that, but that's, that's kind of my day laundry cleaning. I put my R&B music on. I just go to town like I'm sitting there just cleaning. Um, well, I'm not going to reveal that yet, actually, and that's still in the air. You know, I'm in, I'm in the military. So where I'm going is going to be a monumental shift to the show. In fact, I will message you offline on this. I don't want to make the big reveal yet, but after the show, I will message you, uh, where exactly I'm going. And I'll buy no cousins nephews and nieces. All right, man, let me tell you something. All right. Your cousins nephews and nieces are fucking loud and crazy. All right. They were pissing off me and my kids and they were making weird ridiculous noises. I don't know how you put up with that shit. Bless you. Bless your heart that you have to put up with that crazy shit. I swear to God, because last night was like a TV. It was crazy last night. It was a great round table episode, but I swear to God, dude, they had me, they I have to cut them off. Um, I had a few times that to cut them off. Hey, Devin, what's going on? Hi. Hey, is this a kid Devin? Hey, Devin, you there? Yeah. How old are you? You're like a little kid. Oh my God, how are you kids getting on my show? All right. And he said, well, I'm excited for you wherever you go. How long are you usually going for? Um, two or three years, two or three years, I was already stationed overseas before and I was three years. So where I'm going is potentially one to two years. I'm still trying to find that out. We got I got a lot of shit and a lot of personal shit going on that can affect the shift of that. But I will let you know though, especially since you're you're a big fan of the show. And I want to keep the show going and I'll definitely let you know where I go. Definitely offline. Um, Devin, you know, Devin, what are you doing? I don't know. I don't know either. How did you get on the show? I'm just looking for some lives. Well, you found me, man. Um, oh my God. Yeah. Listen, I'm not even going to bother you, man. You sound like a cool kid. Um, I was just talking about video games. That's all I was just talking about. And then you pop up. Yeah, for a night. No, man. Sorry, little man. I don't play Fortnite. I play, I play Call of Duty. I play Fortnite one time. And it's just not for me, man. I know you sound like you play Fortnite, which is pretty cool. But no, I play Call of Duty. I play Call of Duty. Yeah. Sorry, man. But, um, hey, I'm about to wrap up the show. Devin. I don't know how you got on this show, but thank you for joining the show. Um, shout out to Anna, Captain James Rio, my executive producers. I didn't get my haul tonight on him, which is crazy. I'll buy no monkey. You need to control your family because they're out of control right now. Control these people. And Devin, you have a good night, little man. I don't know how you got on the show, but, um, yeah, I know Devin doesn't seem like a good kid, man, because the last kid I had on here, I don't know how he got on the show, but he was like, I'm age appropriate to be on the show. And I'm like, all right, man. I was like, all right. All right, Devin, when you have a good night, man, you go play Fortnite and everybody else, you guys enjoy the rest of your weekend.

I go over 28 of the best selling video game consoles of all time. spanning from the 1980s to today.
