Amazon customers have voted the PlayStation 2 as the best console of all time. The Polling took place from August 18 to October 5. The PS2 beat the Wii U in the first round, the PS3 in the second round, the Nintendo 64 in the semifinals and the PSOne in the finals.
The PlayStation 4 lost to the PSOne in the second round. However, it did receive more votes than all Sega consoles combined. The PC was just nine votes shy of making it into the knock-out stages. The Atari 2600 was the oldest console to make it to the knock-out round.
The PlayStation 2 is also the bestselling console of all time with 157.68 million units sold during its lifetime. That is ahead of the DS and original Game Boy, which sold 154.88 million and 118.69 million units, respectively. The PSOne is the second bestselling console with 104.25 million units sold.
For those times when you’d rather watch than play — these games are as binge-worthy as your favourite Netflix series.
The double pack will be arriving on the same day as Onimusha 2 Samurai's Destiny on 23rd May 2025
It’s time game developers stop ignoring one of the most beloved features in gaming history: split-screen couch co-op. I miss it!
It's a shame to me that so few indie devs seem interested in catering to this era (split screen era) of nostalgic gaming. Many of them are interested in retro gaming, obviously, but almost all of them seem to drift either to platformers or Metroidvanias (no issue with either, there have just been so many). I'd love to see an indie dev really try to capture that late N64/PS1 through early Xbox/PS2/GameCube era of split screen gaming.
PS2. I choose you!
"You have chosen, wisely..."
SNES is right behind it though.
im going to take serious what Amazon customers vote on ?
lol lol
PS2 had something for everyone from shooters to platformers.
Very well deserved for me along with PS1 and sega genesis in my opinion.
I hope the ps4 can replicate those greats it has the potential though
