Plz note: we're not talking about THE original PS1, we're talking about the HDMI plastic box nostalgia product Sony released 2 years ago.
Ps5
Sega will always have a place in my heart.
It always had great software, hardware and innovation, but they failed because they didn't have good business sense.
Stadia hasn't failed. Cloud gaming hasn't even taken off yet and stadia is the best experience for cloud gaming. Give it like 5 years like how it took steam about 5 years before it even took off.
Umm, Stadia works fine. It's saved me a ton of money too. You're insane and part of the problem.
Dreamcast is still one of my all time favorites
I literally almost bought an Xperia play after using the demo at Verizon. I live in the US so I have no idea what he's talking about
I miss my 3DO
"Oh-y-ah"? Wasn't it "Ooo-ya"
Anyway the WiiU is the new dreamcast. Pick those games up now before the collectors market ruins it.
Why did the N gage fail if it did…man yo
I am from Europe, and have never had a 50hz TV or Console. Im from Denmark where 60hz has always been standard for consoles.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play was released in the US via Verizon Wireless. It was also my very first smartphone at the time. Still have it as a novelty.
Sega dreamcast was good better graphics better controller so sad they left the business if they were make it in the past they would be create awesome consoles.
When I saw the Dreamcast in the thumbnail, I was disappointed in this video. The Dreamcast dream still lives on within us
I got a Dreamcast from Funcoland after it was discontinued. In fact I still have it to this day. I got it for 50$ and it was truly one of my favorite gaming consuls. I wish Nintendo would release a game library similar. A good mix of classics and hardcore games. I get tired of playing mostly kid friendly cartoony games. Sure some of them are fun but they don’t have lasting appeal. I never think (hey I wanna reply Luigis haunted mansion again)
The Virtual Boy had shit hardware. I remember getting one for my birthday, back when it was popular. Mario Tennis had came with the console, but mine never worked. I only had maybe 3 or 4 games for it? Only 1 worked (Bomberman), but I never told my mom that none of the other games had worked 😆 I thought it was the best thing ever……in concept, definitely not functionality.
I'm surprised the Atari Jaguar wasn't on the list.
RIP stadia
Zeebo 🤦🏻♂️
One console which bombed so hard which no one talks about is the Amiga CD32
Stadia works perfect in the Netherlands, and they added a lot of games. Way better than Playstation 4 pro. And wouldn't want to miss it
Yo stadia works great?
10:10 um…the Xperia Play was a Verizon exclusive. It WAS released in the US.
Xperia Play didn't launch in the USA? I remember my cell company trying to sell me one and I passed.
The Dreamcast and Wii U are two examples of polar opposites. The Dreamcast was fantastic, had a glut of awesome software released in a short amount of time and was ahead of the curve. I loved that little machine. The Wii U, on the other hand? Total piece of shit. I can't believe I was an ardent defender of the damn thing. But Nintendo had a bunch of things lending to its failure, software draughts, region locked, confusion over the name, poor advertisement campaign, etc. I lost mine in a housefire and briefly considered getting one again? Then I thought about what they did to Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, and was like "Fuck that, I will wait for more info on their next system." What a steaming pile of hot garbage. The Wii U deserves the hate, let it be known that is how NOT to launch a console!
I'm afraid I have to disagree with the stadia hate, but if that’s how you feel, okay.
How dare you trash your Dreamcast, don’t you have a f*cking Chao Garden to take care of? You wouldn’t do that to your nintendogs would you?
Dreamcast feels like a fever dream at this point. So much fun
The Dreamcast died out because most people have quit trusting SEGA after the pointless add-ons of the Genesis and The disastrous Launch Of Saturn.
When u think about it; virtual boy is pretty stupid. What was the point of it. It's like putting a Gameboy up to ur face.
I still remember finding out about the Dreamcast in 2001 or 2002 (after PS2 was already out) and saying "They made another Sega after the Genesis? I didn't know that!" that should tell you all you need to know about how few people even knew Sega continued making consoles.
Why did Sony drop their handhelds? These could have been big just look at the switch.
I love you guys but saying that cloud gaming failed because you have crap internet in The USA isn't really correct, The USA can have bad internet but isn't the center of the universe… If you can't watch Netflix/YouTube/Prime Video in 4k without buffering doesn't mean the streaming service has failed, maybe you just need a better internet…
I'm from Germany and my ps 1 in my entertainment closet runs the games very good on my flatscreen modern TV. The ps classis is just trash at doing what it's supposed to do 🙃
Outside Xtra did a piece on the Xperia Play. It was part of the Sony phone division and while in the same company, the gaming side did not want to risk hurting the Playstation brand in case of a flop hence the weird name… Ironically it was one of the factors in the products failures. Who woulda thought that not having confidence in your own product would translate to a lack of consumer confidence.
Google stadia was hyped? really? I remember we were bashing it from the day it was announced…Also, the wii u rocks, I have two 😀
Stadia did not fail because you can still get it over here indeed UK and there is app stadia on your phone and your laptop so that's where you're wrong
PS stadia they have just added new games to their selection one of them is little nightmares 2 just to let you know
What about 3DO?
Didn't it fail?
I owned a Wii, and when the Wii U came out, I thought it was an expensive controller for the Wii, I realized it was a different console years after.
When i bought a wii u i thought it was a portable system lol
Wii U still has the best Virtual Console.
Dreamcast wasn't overrated at all , It's In my top 3 all time consoles , and It was THE best 6th gen console imo.
the internet isnt good enough in the US to play games through streaming? i use shadow PC and stream my whole PC and all games on max settings no lag and even stream that to my switch and still no lag and at that point im streaming a stream lol. and thats using the internet provided in are little ass town in Tennessee.
Ps5 drop and still not being able to get. Should be #1
No Jaguar?
This video is great cause it gives me a reason to make a long windy post about stuff I remember from when I was a kid. I saw a Virtual Boy in the wild (store) back in 1995 in a Sears. These days you can only find them on places like Ebay and the dusty collections of collectors. But I saw one in a honest to god retail store. I was in Sears with my mom and I used to go over to the video game counter/section they had set up and look at all the games and systems I would never get. The virtual boy was setup on the glass display case. I was the only one there so I decided I would try that weird looking thing on the counter. I had to kind of hunch over a bit to use it. I can't remember the game. Just that I was hit with the red coloring and I wasn't very pleased with it. I played it for a few minutes and moved on. I was not impressed and when I walked away I was like no thanks, I will stick to my SNES and Genesis. I also remember the Dreamcast and how everyone would say how stupid it was and how they wanted a PS2. I remember seeing them stacked up in stores like Best Buy for really cheap prices. I think I saw them for less than $100. The sales people would try and sell them to customers as alternatives for the PS2 which was hard to find the first few months of it's release. No one really wanted one obviously.
Make me chuckle when Falcon pronounced it more like oh…. yeah….. Rather than Ouu Yah.
where is the ATARI Jaguar in the list…?
