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

    Being told the PS5 is already four years old was the worst part of this video.
  • @vinesauce
    Kinda cool for some of my videos to be featured as clips on this here channel. Thank you for asking!
  • @TheGameCapsule
    If Nintendo doesn't launch the Switch 2 with Mario Kart 9 they're missing out on 100 million units sold in 3 days lol
  • @user-xd7rc9mj3x
    Fun fact - I knew chemists who bought a lot of N64s that they jury rigged into a mesh for doing molecular graphics (they used Silicon Graphics chips where standard systems used to go for 10k a piece). Navy bought a bunch of the PS3s to create a supercomputer using the cell processors.
  • @KenLinx
    This is literally one of the best console tier lists I've ever seen. I was not expecting that..
  • I'm a beginner technician and have started purchasing and reselling old consoles to fix up and clean. I'm seeing the popularity reflected in the resale price and even the "broken as is" prices being put up on eBay. This video has been eye opening and will help steer me into which consoles will be worth fixing.
  • @AndrewLarsson
    N64 not getting at least an A is a crime against our childhoods and 3D gaming as a whole.
  • Still remember how blown away my family and i were when we started the PS2 on Christmas morning and played Ratchet and Clank for the first time.
  • @user-ko8qg7tg4d
    the thing that saved the ps3 is the fact that multiplayer online video games were free to play with no subscriptions needed, all you had to do was provide your own internet
  • @USMCbrantley
    N64, Game Cube, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360 plus Nintendo's GameBoy and DS era are my favorite times.
  • @AntonGully
    I gave up smoking around the same time the Dreamcast got remaindered. I told myself that if I could go three months without cigs, I'd buy one of the remaindered bundles. So I played a bunch of Code Veronica and Sonic Adventure.
  • @lazorpie
    The part where the video itself played inside the CRT Monitor was really cool and a great touch. Love to see such great effort being put into such a relatively small segment!
  • @devonhar
    That Sega comment about Sony wasn't made by Tom Kalinske, It was to Kalinske by the head of SEGA Japan when Tom was trying to make the Sony deal happen. Tom Kalinske even said that Sega of Japan turning Sony down was the dumbest decision in business history.
  • @AdamJDM1
    First of all, good list overall. I own pretty much every single videogame console from third generation on, so I am quite qualified to speak on this. My rankings would go like this: S Tier- SNES, Genesis, Dreamcast, 360, Neo Geo, PS1, PS2 A Tier- NES, N64, GCN, Switch, Saturn, Xbox, PC Engine, PS4 B Tier- Wii, Master System , Series X, PS3 C Tier- Atari 2600, Xbox One, 3DO D Tier- Wii U, SG1000, 7800, PC-FX F Tier- 5200, Jaguar, CDi Never Tried- Nintendo Color TV, Intellivision, Colecovision, Odyssey, 1 + 2 Fairchild Channel F, PS5 Maybe I'll need to make a video with my own tier list and actually speak a bit more in depth on each console and their strengths and weaknesses.
  • @lloydnorval1989
    13:02 dude, hearing you use British slang "couldn't be arsed" in your accent sounded so wrong and funny at the same time 🤣 the phrase sounded "beneath" you if that makes sense, I'm from Grimsby, UK, basically "the pits
  • @Mayurpaj
    PlayStation start-up sound is a memory trigger for me. Just ran thru a flashback of my childhood from that one sound.
  • @LBSiUK
    Someone's gonna be irritated about that GameCube controller comment.
  • @IronOre124
    GameCube controller is one of the best ever made. The updated versions that make the C-Stick a full sized control stick are S tier. The fact that they're still making them and have made them for every Nintendo console since the GameCube shows how timeless and practical the design is. You can not like it, but to say it's garbage or sucks is just incorrect.
  • I remember as the PlayStation and Saturn were launching, a Sony marketer was quoted as saying, "if you're thinking of getting a Saturn, then you're head is in Uranus"
